What are options?

An option is a contract, which gives the buyer (holder) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell specified quantity of the underlying assets, at a specific (strike) price on or before a specified time (expiration date).


Call Option Put Option

Option Buyer

Buys the right to buy the underlying asset at the Strike Price

Buys the right to sell the underlying asset at the Strike Price

Option Seller

Has the obligation to sell the underlying asset to the option holder at the Strike Price

Has the obligation to buy the underlying asset from the option holder at the Strike Price


In options the buyer enjoys the right and not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset.

Limited downside (to the extent of premium paid) for buyer and unlimited upside. For seller (writer) of the option, profits are limited whereas losses can be unlimited.

Prices of options are however, affected by a)prices of the underlying asset, b)time remaining for expiry of the contract and c)volatility of the underlying asset.

•The absolute value of the delta increases as the option goes further in-the-money and decreases as the option goes out-of-the-money. •At-the-money call and put options have a delta that is right around 0.50 and -0.50 respectively. •Put options have a negative delta, which means if the price of an asset goes up, the price of a put option on that asset goes down. •Deep in-the-money call options have a delta that approaches +1.00. Conversely, deep in-the-money put options have a delta that approaches -1.00. •Deep out-of-the-money calls and puts have deltas that approach zero. •The delta of the underlying asset itself always remains constant at 1.00.

Delta of put options 5 x -0.42 = -2.10

Total position delta 2.00 + -2.10 = -0.10


Options Strategies


If you buy the underlying and buy put options so your position is delta neutral:

•When the market goes up, you have a profit on the underlying and you have a smaller loss on the options (because their delta decreased), so you wind up with a net profit.

•When the market goes down, you have a loss on the underlying but you have a bigger profit on the options (because their delta increased), so again you have a net profit.


Options Strategies


If you sell (short) the underlying and buy call options so your position is delta neutral:

When the market goes up, you have a loss on the underlying but again you have a bigger profit on the options (their delta increased), so you have a net profit.

When the market goes down, you have a profit on the underlying but once again, you have a smaller loss on the options (their delta decreased), so you still have a net profit.

Triangular Arbitrage

suppose you have $1 million and you are provided with the following exchange rates:

EUR/USD = 0.8631, EUR/GBP = 1.4600 USD/GBP = 1.6939.

With these exchange rates there is an arbitrage opportunity:

Sell dollars for euros: $1 million x 0.8631 = 863,100 eurosSell euros for pounds: 863,100/1.4600 = 591,164.40 poundsSell pounds for dollars: 591,164.40 x 1.6939 = $1,001,373 dollars

$1,001,373 - $1,000,000 = $1,373
