16 Short-Term Trading Employing Leverage Intraday options trading enables higher leverage than margin transactions with no required margin deposit. Options with particularly small spreads such as those on the previous page provide substantial return opportunities even if the underlying stocks move just 1% during the day. Many stocks with tight spreads provide intraday trading opportunities if investors are able to create a position at the offer price and unwind at the bid price after favorable price movements. There is also almost no time decay intraday, so investors can take advantage of the leverage embedded in options with virtually zero time decay cost NOTE: Intraday options trading is exceptionally risky and is ONLY recommended for VERY EXPERIENCED investors with HIGH risk-taking ability and tolerance Copyright 2014 Japan Exchange Group, Inc. and/or its affiliates.
