Over the past decade or so, computers have revolutionized option trading.
|
||||
Options traded through an online broker are filled faster than you can say,
|
||||
“Oops! I meant to click on puts.” Now trading is facilitated almost entirely
|
||||
online by professional and retail traders alike. Market and trading
|
||||
information is disseminated worldwide in subseconds, making markets all
|
||||
the more efficient. And the tools now available to the common retail trader
|
||||
are very powerful as well. Many online brokers and other web sites offer
|
||||
high-powered tools like screeners, which allow traders to sift through
|
||||
thousands of options to find those that fit certain parameters.
|
||||
Using a screener to find ATM calls on same-priced stocks—say, stocks
|
||||
trading at $40 a share—can yield a result worth talking about here. One $40
|
||||
stock can have a 40-strike call trading at around 0.50, while a different $40
|
||||
stock can have a 40 call with the same time to expiration trading at more
|
||||
like 2.00. Why? The model doesn’t know the name of the company, what
|
||||
industry it’s in, or what its price-to-earnings ratio is. It is a mathematical
|
||||
equation with six inputs. If five of the inputs—the stock price, strike price,
|
||||
time to expiration, interest rate, and dividends—are identical for two
|
||||
different options but they’re trading at different prices, the difference must
|
||||
be the sixth variable, which is volatility.
