FIGURE 35.17 Profi t/loss Profi le: ratio Call Write—long Futures + Short 2 Calls (Similar to
|
||||
Short Straddle)
|
||||
Comment. The combination of 1 long futures contract and 2 short at-the-money calls is a balanced
|
||||
position in terms of delta values. In other words, at any given point in time, the gain or loss in the
|
||||
long futures contract due to small price changes (i.e., price changes in the vicinity of the strike price)
|
||||
will be approximately off set by an opposite change in the call position. (Over time, however, a mar-
|
||||
ket characterized by small price changes will result in the long futures position gaining on the short
|
||||
call position due to the evaporation of the time value of the options.) The maximum profi t in this
|
||||
strategy will be equal to the premium received for the 2 calls and will occur when prices are exactly
|
||||
unchanged. This strategy will show a net profi t for a wide range of prices centered at the prevailing
|
||||
price level at the time the position was initiated. However, the position will imply unlimited risk in
|
||||
the event of very sharp price increases or declines.
|
||||
The profi t/loss profi le for this strategy should look familiar—it is virtually identical to the short
|
||||
straddle position (see Strategy 35.8). The virtual equivalence of this strategy to the short straddle
|
||||
position follows directly from the previously discussed structure of a synthetic futures position:
|
||||
Ratio call wr itel ong f utures short calls
|
||||
=+ 2
|
||||
However, from the synthetic futures position relationship, we know that:

Long f utures long call short put ≈+
