Strategy 3c: Long Call (In-the-Money)
example . Buy 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 35.3 c and Figure 35.3 c.)
Comment. In many respects, a long in-the-money call position is very similar to a long futures posi-
tion. The three main diff erences between these two trading strategies are:
1. The long futures position will gain slightly more in the event of a price rise—an amount equal
to the time value portion of the premium paid for the option ($1,010 in the above example).
2. For moderate price declines, the long futures position will lose slightly less. (Once again, the
diff erence will be equal to the time value portion of the premium paid for the option.)
3. In the event of a large price decline, the loss on the in-the-money long call position would be lim-
ited to the total option premium paid, while the loss on the long futures position will be unlimited.
In a sense, the long in-the-money call position can be thought of as a long futures position with a
built-in stop. This characteristic is an especially important consideration for speculators who typically
employ protective stop-loss orders on their positions—a prudent trading approach. A trader using a
protective sell stop on a long position faces the frustrating possibility of the market declining suffi ciently
to activate his stop and subsequently rebounding. The long in-the-money call position off ers the spec-
ulator an alternative method of limiting risk that does not present this danger. Of course, this benefi t
does not come without a cost; as mentioned above, the buyer of an in-the-money call will gain slightly
less than the outright futures trader if the market advances, and will lose slightly more if the market
declines moderately. However, if the trader is anticipating volatile market conditions, he might very
