Understanding Trade Risk vs. Portfolio Risk Portfolio risk is the amount at risk in Trade risk is the amount at risk in your trade. your portfolio. For example,if you have Use your maximum loss on spread trades. a $25,000 account and you risk 2% on For example, if you put on a $1,000 trade and a trade, the portfolio risk is $500 you risk 50% on a trade, the “trade risk” is ($25,000 x 2% = $500) $500 ($1,000 x 50% = $500) Copyright © 2015 Option Trading Coach, LLC.

PART 1.3 - CALCULATING THE RISK-REWARD To Be Consistently Successful You Must Follow a Set of Rules. A Common Risk - Reward Ratio is: 2-1 To calculate the possible reward, first look at the stock then figure what the option will do on a relative basis. Look at the distance from the stock’s support to its resistance. Look at the distance from a break above resistance to the next level of resistance. If the stock is at a 52-week high simply look at the 5-year chart for resistance. If the stock is in a strong uptrend, calculate the distance from the lower trend line to the upper trend line to project the potential upside potential. Judge your stop-loss.

Always cut your losses short and never let a winning trade turn into a losing one. 3. Cultivate an unemotional mindset that is not affected by the market's behavior. 4. Train your mind to think in terms of risk-reward, probabilities, and systems. 5. Constantly train your mind to be in the "present opportunity flow" with laser focus.

PART 1.6 - THINK LIKE A SUCCESSFUL TRADER Perhaps one of the most powerful personal development strategies is the use of affirmations. Using this technique will help instill your successful trader mindset. I'M A GREAT TRADER BECAUSE... I identify the overall trend, support & resistance, and momentum levels on every trade. I know the intermediate and short-term trend on every trade. I know if I am trading the long, intermediate, or short-term trend on each trade. I buy where I'm supposed to buy, and I sell where I'm supposed to sell. I have a stop loss and a profit target price on every trade I place. I have written rules and have a detailed system that I follow on every trade. I trade the Market not my thoughts by taking action and following my plan. I follow and trade my rules and the profits take care of themselves. Like a master chess player, I think several moves in advance but I only trade based on market price action, confirmations, and never on my emotions. I take consistent action and I am consistently profitable. Copyright © 2015 Option Trading Coach, LLC. All Rights Reserved. Terms of Use Apply.

  • Lecture 5 an Introduction to European Put Options. Moneyness
    Lecture: 5 Course: M339D/M389D - Intro to Financial Math Page: 1 of 5 University of Texas at Austin Lecture 5 An introduction to European put options. Moneyness. 5.1. Put options. A put option gives the owner the right { but not the obligation { to sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price during a predetermined time period. The seller of a put option is obligated to buy if asked. The mechanics of the European put option are the following: at time−0: (1) the contract is agreed upon between the buyer and the writer of the option, (2) the logistics of the contract are worked out (these include the underlying asset, the expiration date T and the strike price K), (3) the buyer of the option pays a premium to the writer; at time−T : the buyer of the option can choose whether he/she will sell the underlying asset for the strike price K. 5.1.1. The European put option payoff. We already went through a similar procedure with European call options, so we will just briefly repeat the mental exercise and figure out the European-put-buyer's profit. If the strike price K exceeds the final asset price S(T ), i.e., if S(T ) < K, this means that the put-option holder is able to sell the asset for a higher price than he/she would be able to in the market. In fact, in our perfectly liquid markets, he/she would be able to purchase the asset for S(T ) and immediately sell it to the put writer for the strike price K.

Fabozzi Yale School of Management October 19, 2009 ABSTRACT This paper proposes a profit model for spread trading by focusing on the stochastic move- ment of the price spread and its first hitting time probability density. The model is general in that it can be used for any financial instrument. The advantage of the model is that the profit from the trades can be easily calculated if the first hitting time probability density of the stochastic process is given. We then modify the profit model for a particular market, the energy futures market. It is shown that energy futures spreads are modeled by using a mean- reverting process.

  • Ice Crude Oil
    ICE CRUDE OIL Intercontinental Exchange® (ICE®) became a center for global petroleum risk management and trading with its acquisition of the International Petroleum Exchange® (IPE®) in June 2001, which is today known as ICE Futures Europe®. IPE was established in 1980 in response to the immense volatility that resulted from the oil price shocks of the 1970s. As IPE’s short-term physical markets evolved and the need to hedge emerged, the exchange offered its first contract, Gas Oil futures. In June 1988, the exchange successfully launched the Brent Crude futures contract. Today, ICE’s FSA-regulated energy futures exchange conducts nearly half the world’s trade in crude oil futures. Along with the benchmark Brent crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and gasoil futures contracts, ICE Futures Europe also offers a full range of futures and options contracts on emissions, U.K. natural gas, U.K power and coal. THE BRENT CRUDE MARKET Brent has served as a leading global benchmark for Atlantic Oseberg-Ekofisk family of North Sea crude oils, each of which Basin crude oils in general, and low-sulfur (“sweet”) crude has a separate delivery point.

  • 11 Option Payoffs and Option Strategies
    11 Option Payoffs and Option Strategies Answers to Questions and Problems 1. Consider a call option with an exercise price of $80 and a cost of $5. Graph the profits and losses at expira- tion for various stock prices. 73 74 CHAPTER 11 OPTION PAYOFFS AND OPTION STRATEGIES 2. Consider a put option with an exercise price of $80 and a cost of $4. Graph the profits and losses at expiration for various stock prices. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS 75 3. For the call and put in questions 1 and 2, graph the profits and losses at expiration for a straddle comprising these two options. If the stock price is $80 at expiration, what will be the profit or loss? At what stock price (or prices) will the straddle have a zero profit? With a stock price at $80 at expiration, neither the call nor the put can be exercised. Both expire worthless, giving a total loss of $9. The straddle breaks even (has a zero profit) if the stock price is either $71 or $89. 4. A call option has an exercise price of $70 and is at expiration. The option costs $4, and the underlying stock trades for $75. Assuming a perfect market, how would you respond if the call is an American option? State exactly how you might transact. How does your answer differ if the option is European? With these prices, an arbitrage opportunity exists because the call price does not equal the maximum of zero or the stock price minus the exercise price. To exploit this mispricing, a trader should buy the call and exercise it for a total out-of-pocket cost of $74.

    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668 PP 11-20 www.iosrjournals.org A Study on Advantages of Separate Trade book for Bull Call Spreads and Bear Put Spreads. Chirag Babulal Shah PhD (Pursuing), M.M.S., B.B.A., D.B.M., P.G.D.F.T., D.M.T.T. Assistant Professor at Indian Education Society’s Management College and Research Centre. Abstract: Derivatives are revolutionary instruments and have changed the way one looks at the financial world. Derivatives were introduced as a hedging tool. However, as the understanding of the intricacies of these instruments has evolved, it has become more of a speculative tool. The biggest advantage of Derivative instruments is the leverage it provides. The other benefit, which is not available in the spot market, is the ability to short the underlying, for more than a day. Thus it is now easy to take advantage of the downtrend. However, the small retail participants have not had a good overall experience of trading in derivatives and the public at large is still bereft of the advantages of derivatives. This has led to a phobia for derivatives among the small retail market participants, and they prefer to stick to the old methods of investing. The three main reasons identified are lack of knowledge, the margining methods and the quantity of the lot size. The brokers have also misled their clients and that has led to catastrophic results. The retail participation in the derivatives markets has dropped down dramatically. But, are these derivative instruments and especially options, so bad? The answer is NO.

  • VERTICAL SPREADS: Taking Advantage of Intrinsic Option Value
    Advanced Option Trading Strategies: Lecture 1 Vertical Spreads – The simplest spread consists of buying one option and selling another to reduce the cost of the trade and participate in the directional movement of an underlying security. These trades are considered to be the easiest to implement and monitor. A vertical spread is intended to offer an improved opportunity to profit with reduced risk to the options trader. A vertical spread may be one of two basic types: (1) a debit vertical spread or (2) a credit vertical spread. Each of these two basic types can be written as either bullish or bearish positions. A debit spread is written when you expect the stock movement to occur over an intermediate or long- term period [60 to 120 days], whereas a credit spread is typically used when you want to take advantage of a short term stock price movement [60 days or less]. VERTICAL SPREADS: Taking Advantage of Intrinsic Option Value Debit Vertical Spreads Bull Call Spread During March, you decide that PFE is going to make a large up move over the next four months going into the Summer.
