2 Disclosures Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk. Before trading options, please read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, and call to be approved for options trading. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request. Examples in this presentation do not include transaction costs (commissions, margin interest, fees) or tax implications, but they should be considered prior to entering into any transactions. The information in this presentation, including examples using actual securities and price data, is strictly for illustrative and educational purposes only and is not to be construed as an endorsement, recommendation. Active Trader Pro Platforms SM is available to customers trading 36 times or more in a rolling 12-month period; customers who trade 120 times or more have access to Recognia anticipated events and Elliott Wave analysis. Profit probability shows how likely a particular option trade (or combination of trades) will be profitable, based on a calculation that takes into account the price of the trade and the expected distribution of stock prices based on the 90-day historical volatility. 2
3 Goal of this webinar Series: The goal of this series is to introduce options to those who are new option traders. We will primarily cover the fundamentals of options. To do this, we will cover topics such as; what are options, what kinds of options are there, key terms and concepts option traders need to be familiar with. Topics that will be covered in Part I: What are options? How are they quoted and where? What is Exercise versus Assignment? What are In the money, At the money, and Out of the money? What is Intrinsic versus Extrinsic value? 3
4 What is an Option? An option is simply a contractual agreement between two parties, the buyer and the seller. The contract stipulates: Expiration date (Usually the third Friday of the month) Strike price Underlying (can be stock, ETF, or index) that the contract will be based upon A standard option represents 100 shares of the underlying When the holder can exercise the option (convert to the underlying) Anytime before expiration (American style) Only at expiration (European Style) 4
5 Why do people trade options? People trade options for many different reasons. Since we are focusing on options basics today, we will focus on the most common reasons. 1. Leverage: As stated on the last slide, one option contract controls 100 shares of the underlying s stock 2. Capital outlay: You can purchase an option for significantly less than purchasing the underlying stock outright. What s the trade-off? 1. Time: Options have a finite expiration date. They are a wasting asset. They will either expire worthless or be turned into long/short shares of the underlying. 2. Leverage: Leverage goes both ways, it can hurt you as much as it helps you. We will show an example shortly. 5
6 Call or Put? There are two types of options, Calls and Puts Call Call option is a contract that allows the option holder (buyer) to buy 100 shares (typically) at the strike price up to the defined expiration date. Said to be LONG the call. Bullish Call options obligate the seller (writer) to sell 100 shares (typically) of the underlying at the strike price up to the defined expiration date. Said to be SHORT the call. Bearish Put Put option is a contract that allows the option holder to sell 100 shares (typically) at the strike price up to the defined expiration date. Said to be LONG the put. Bearish Put options obligate the seller to buy 100 shares (typically) of the underlying at the strike price up to the defined expiration date. Said to be SHORT the put. Bullish 6
7 Call or Put? In the last example we said typically, why? When we talk of options we generally talk of standardized options where one contract represent 100 shares of the underlying. But what happens when something like a stock split occurs in the underlying, or a company takeover/merger? Options can be adjusted in a number of ways to account for corporate events. These are called Adjusted options. Lets look at what happens when there is a stock split: You own 1 contract for XYZ stock with a strike price of $75.00, the company announces a 3 for 2 stock split. How is the option contract adjusted? Old option contract 100 X $75 = $7,500 New option contract 150 X $50 = $7,500 The adjustment keeps the notional value the same, the number of shares and the strike price are adjusted to maintain the notional value of the contract post split. 7 *Other adjustments may occur from corporate actions. Terms can be found in the option chain or check with the Options Clearing Corp to find out the new terms of an adjusted option.

10 Buyer or Seller? With options, you can either be a buyer or seller Buyer Have a right to Exercise and buy or sell 100 shares of the underlying Also called a call/put holder (long the option) Seller Have obligation to buy/sell at Assignment 100 shares of the underlying Also called a call/put writer (short the option) Many option novices are confused by the terms Buy to Open and Sell to Open versus Buy to Close and Sell to Close. Any time you are creating a new position in your account, you are OPENING and you are either buying or selling the option to Open that new position. Anytime you are removing a position from your account, you are CLOSING it out and either buying or selling it to Close. 10
11 Anatomy of an Options Symbol What does all that mean? -SPY is the symbol of the underlying 17 is the year of the expiration 08 is the month of the expiration 18 is the day of the expiration C indicates that this is a Call option (as opposed to a P for a Put option) 244 is the Strike Price *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only This means that a holder (buyer) of this call has the right to BUY 100 shares of SPY at $244 per share at any time until August 18,
12 Bid, Ask, Volume? Bid: The highest price that a buyer is willing to pay for the option. Similar to a Bid on stock (options are typically quoted in $0.01 or $0.05 increments) Ask: The lowest price that a seller is willing to sell the option at. Also, similar to an Ask on a stock Volume: The total number of that particular contract that has traded on that trading day. Once again, similar to stock *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only 12
13 The Option Chain Where can you find options quotes and information? Bid Ask Volume *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only 13
14 The Option Chain What is Open Interest? Open interest is the number of ALL outstanding contracts. It is not static! The number is updated daily based on the previous day s trading activity. Open Interest 14 *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only
15 What is Premium? Premium is the amount that you pay for the option contract, or the proceeds that you receive from the sale of a contract. Example: You buy the AAPL July Call shown below. The premium you would pay is $2.85 (the A next to the price stands for ASK, which is the price someone is willing to sell the contract for) Remember! The option contract represents 100 shares, so you would actually pay $2.85 X 100 or $ *Apple trading at $ at the time If you were the seller of the call in this example, you would have received the premium of $ *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only
16 What is Breakeven? Breakeven point is the market price that the underlying security must reach for an option buyer to avoid a loss if they exercise the option. Example: You buy the AAPL July Call shown below. The premium you pay is $2.85. Your breakeven on this trade would be $ Why? Because you have the right to buy AAPL at $146, but you paid $2.85 for the right. *Apple trading at $ at the time Strike price +/- the premium paid or received = breakeven = Remember, most options are actually closed out prior to expiration! 16 *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only
17 Exercise and Assignment Long options get exercised, Short options get assigned. What is Exercise? Exercising a call is when the option holder opts to buy the underlying at the strike price (Typically 100 shares) Exercising a put is when the option holder opts to sell the underlying at the strike price (Typically 100 shares) If the option has intrinsic value of at least $0.01 at expiration, it will be automatically exercised. If your account cannot support the position that will be created by auto exercise, you should close the option position! 17
18 Exercise and Assignment What is Assignment? Assignment of a call is the option writer fulfilling their obligation to sell the shares at the strike price. (Typically 100 shares). A short option can be assigned at any time! Assignment of a put is the option writer fulfilling their obligation to buy the shares at the strike price. (Typically 100 shares) As an option seller, you do not choose if/when assignment will occur. The option buyer controls the action, assignment occurs when they choose to exercise their option. Remember! A short (sold) option can be assigned at any time! Even if it has no intrinsic value. 18
19 Exercise and Assignment Value Examples If we use the previous AAPL example what would Exercise of a call look like? If you exercised your long AAPL call, you would purchase 100 shares of AAPL at X $146 = $14,600 Remember, many people use options for leverage, if you had 10 of those contracts and exercised them, it would be 10 X 100 X $146 = $146,000! Each contract controls 100 shares of stock. If you only want to buy 100 shares of the underlying, only buy 1 call contract. If we use the same example, what would Assignment look like? If you were assigned on the one call, you would need to deliver 100 shares of AAPL and you would receive $146 per share, 100 X $146 = $14,600. But what if you didn t already own the shares? You would have to buy them at whatever price they were trading post assignment, which would likely be higher than $146 per share! Example, what if AAPL was now trading at $155? It would now be 100 X $155= $15,500 19
20 Exercise and Assignment Value Examples This time lets substitute an AAPL 146 put for the call. Now what would Exercise of the put look like? If you exercised your long AAPL put, you would sell 100 shares of AAPL at 146. You would receive proceeds of 100 X $146 = $14,600 If we use the same example, what would Assignment look like? If you were assigned on the one put, you would need to buy 100 shares of AAPL and you would pay $146 per share, 100 X $146 = $14,600. Once again remember leverage, if you sold 10 of the puts it would be 10 X 100 X $146 = $146,000 you would be paying for 1000 shares of AAPL stock! 20
21 Exercise and Assignment Value Example Cash Settled Index Options: The previous examples were based on options with Stock or ETF s as their underlying. Index options are slightly different. Index options often are European style, meaning they can only be exercised at expiration, as opposed to American style which can be exercised at any time. Additionally, because index options are based on an index (which cannot be delivered) they are settled in cash! Let s look at an example on.spx (S&P 500 Index): You are Long (Own) 1 SPX call with a strike of If your one SPX call were exercised because SPX closed at 2441 on expiration, you would receive $100 CASH in your account. Your option has $1 of intrinsic value X the multiplier for SPX which is $100 = $100 21
22 What is ITM, ATM and OTM? 1. ITM stands for In the Money In the money options are those options that have intrinsic value Calls with strikes below where the underlying is currently trading Puts with strikes above where the underlying is currently trading 2. ATM stands for At the Money At the money options are options that have a strike price closest to where the underlying is currently trading 3. OTM stands for Out of the Money Out of the money options are those which have no intrinsic value Calls with strikes above where the underlying is currently trading Puts with strikes below where the underlying is currently trading 22 What is intrinsic value?
23 Intrinsic versus Time Value There are 2 components to an options price: Intrinsic value and Time value *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only 23 = In the Money = At the Money = Out of the Money
24 Intrinsic versus Time Value There are 2 components to an options price: Intrinsic value and Time value Intrinsic value is the measure of the true value of the right the option represents it is the difference between the stock price and the strike price Time value is a measure of uncertainty the potential that the option could hold more intrinsic value in the future All else equal, the time value erodes as expiration nears the uncertainty about the stock s price movements between now and expiration gets lower and lower 24 *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only
25 Importance of Time Value *Active Trader Pro For Illustrative Purposes Only 25 The Time Value of the calls and puts at each strike price is nearly equivalent A covered call and a cash secured put of the same strike price have almost identical risk (max loss, breakeven) and reward (max gain) profiles The only difference to the trader is the probability that the trade will result in the acquisition or sale of the underlying security ATM contracts have the most time value, but may not always the best choice
26 What factors affect the premium? Money-ness of the option being sold (Strike Selection) Out of the money options offer lower premiums At the money option contracts have the most time value In the money options offer higher premiums Time to expiration (Expiration Selection) Nearer term expirations offer the potential for the highest annualized return but offer a lower up front premium Longer dated expirations decay at a slower rate, but offer the advantage of more upfront premium (income certainty) Expected Movement from the Underlying (Implied Volatility) Higher implied volatility (expected price movement) results in higher premiums When selling options, if that expected volatility becomes realized volatility, it can result in substantial losses 26
27 Key Takeaways An option is a contract between two parties, the buyer and the seller, that stipulates the rights and obligations of each party. Exercise & Assignment are the processes whereby option contracts are converted into shares of the underlying or cash (Index options) Option prices have 2 components: Intrinsic value, the measure of the true value the right that the option represents It is the difference between the stock price and the strike price Time value (Extrinsic value) The potential that the option could hold more intrinsic value in the future Option States: In-the-money: options with intrinsic value At-the-money: options whose strike price is closet to the current price of the underlying Out-the-money: options with no intrinsic value Option premiums are impacted by: money-ness, time to expiration, and implied volatility levels 27
