This strategy can perhaps be best understood by comparing it to the long call position (e.g., long
|
||||
August $1,250 gold futures call). In eff ect, the spread trader reduces the premium cost for the long
|
||||
call position by the amount of premium received for the sale of the more deeply out-of-the-money
|
||||
call. This reduction in the net premium cost of the trade comes at the expense of sacrifi cing the pos-
|
||||
sibility of unlimited gain in the event of a large price rise. As can be seen in Figure 35.18 , in contrast
|
||||
to the outright long call position, price gains beyond the higher strike price will cease to aff ect the
|
||||
profi tability of the trade.
|
||||
Strategy 19a: bear Call Money Spread (Short Call with Lower Strike
|
||||
price/Long Call with higher Strike price)—Case 1
|
||||
example . Buy August $1,150 gold futures call at a premium of $70.10/oz ($7,010) and simultane-
|
||||
ously sell an August $1,100 gold futures call at a premium of $110.10/oz ($11,010), with August
|
||||
gold futures trading at $1,200/oz. (See Table 35.19 a and Figure 35.19 a.)
|
||||
Comment. This type of spread is called a credit spread, since the amount of premium received for
|
||||
the short call position exceeds the premium paid for the long call position. The maximum possible
|
||||
gain on the trade is equal to the net diff erence between the two premiums. The maximum possible
|
||||
loss is equal to the diff erence between the two strike prices minus the diff erence between the two
|
||||
premiums. The maximum gain would be realized if prices declined to the lower strike price. The
|
||||
maximum loss would occur if prices failed to decline to at least the higher strike price. Although
