In this example, February is 59 days from expiration. Exhibit 10.10 shows
|

the analytics for this trade with CRM at $104.32.
|

EXHIBIT 10.10 Salesforce.com condor ( Salesforce.com at $104.32).
|
||||
As expected with the underlying centered between the two middle strikes,
|
||||
delta and gamma are about flat. As Salesforce.com moves higher or lower,
|
||||
though, gamma and, consequently, delta will change. As the stock moves
|
||||
closer to either of the long strikes, gamma will become more positive,
|
||||
causing the delta to change favorably for Joe. Theta, however, is working
|
||||
against him with Salesforce.com at $104.32, costing $150 a day. In this
|
||||
instance, movement is good. Joe benefits from increased realized volatility.
|
||||
The best-case scenario would be if Salesforce.com moves through either of
|
||||
the long strikes to, or through, either of the short strikes.
|
||||
The prime objective in this example, though, is to profit from a rise in IV.
|
||||
The position has a positive vega. The position makes or loses $400 with
|
||||
every point change in implied volatility. Because of the proportion of theta
|
||||
risk to vega risk, this should be a short-term play.
|
||||
If Joe were looking for a small rise in IV, say five points, the move would
|
||||
have to happen within 13 calendar days, given the vega and theta figures.
|
||||
The vega gain on a rise of five vol points would be $2,000, and the theta
|
||||
loss over 13 calendar days would be $1,950. If there were stock movement
|
||||
associated with the IV increase, that delta/gamma gain would offset some of
|
||||
the havoc that theta wreaked on the option premiums. However, if Joe
|
||||
traded a strategy like a condor as a vol play, he would likely expect a bigger
