3 Option Contract Basic Value Options originally developed to hedge risk Call Options developed in 1973 Put Options developed in 1977 Option Purpose Hedge against commodity loss Reduce income fluctuation Options allows the trader to be extremely versatile Bullish Bearish Neutral Direction Indifferent Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 3
4 Option Lingo 1 Option Contract is worth: Equity (Stocks) = 100 Shares Futures = 1 Future Contract LEAPS:(Long Term Anticipation Securities) Options that have an expiration period greater than 1 year Strike Price: The price at which an underlying stock can be purchased or sold Expiration Date (Expiry) The date of that Option Contract Expiration. Most Options Expire on the Saturday following the 3 rd Friday of each month In-the-Money (ITM) That portion of an option that has value if the contract were to expire At-the-Money (ATM) When an Option s Strike price is the same as the current price of the underlying security Out-the-Money (OTM) If there is no value should an Option expire at that time Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 4
5 ITM ATM OTM Option Examples CALLS STRIKES PUTS Sample Option Chain Layout Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 5
6 Option Lingo Exercise: Option owner (Holder) who invokes their right to buy or sell is said to Exercise their Option Contract [note that Call Option Holders exercise their right to buy; Put Option Holders exercise their right to sell] Assignment: When the Option Holder Exercises their rights, the Option Writer is then Assigned American Style Options: These options can be exercised any time by the option Holder [most options are American Style]. European Style Options: These are options that can only be exercised upon contract expiration. [examples include options on stock indexes like the S&P 500 [SPX] or the Russell 2000 [RUT] Parity: An option is said to be trading at Parity with the underlying security if it is trading for its intrinsic value Open Interest: Unlike stocks where there are a fixed number of shares traded, option trading involves the creation of option contracts. Open Interest tells you the number of option contracts currently open. Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 6

10 Option Pricing Theory Option Pricing is based upon a mathematical formula define in the Black-Scholes Model (and others) Option Price is composed to 2 components: 1. Intrinsic Value 2. Extrinsic Value Option Price Components XYZ Stock = $50 per share Call Option with a strike price of 45 due to expire in 3 months = $8.50 per contact Intrinsic Value = $5.00 Extrinsic Value = $3.50 Extrisnic Value Components Time Decay Volatility Interest Rates Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 10

18 Option Greeks What are They? Statistical references that are calculated by the Option Pricing Model Measurements of an individual option s sensitivities to the changes in the component variables that effect option pricing 1. Underlying price 2. (K) Strike price 3. Time to Expiration 4. Volatility 5. Dividends 6. Interest Rates Used to determine risk in an individual option or the entire portfolio Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 18
19 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Delta (Δ) can be defined 4 ways: 1. The rate of change of an option value relative to a change in the underlying 2. The derivative of the graph of an option value in relation to the stock price 3. The equivalent of the underlying shares represented by an option position (Hedge Ratio) 4. The estimate of the likelihood of an option expiring ITM Most watched and common Greek In-the-Money (ITM) options have higher Delta Out-of-the-Money (OTM) options have lower Delta At-the-Money (ATM) options have medium Delta Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 19
20 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Definition 1 Rate of Change This is the most used definition of Delta It defines the size of the option price move per $1 move in the underlying price Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 20
21 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Underlying Price Movement Long Calls UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $61.00 Call Value Delta UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $59.00 Call Value Delta Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 21
22 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Underlying Price Movement Long Puts UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $61.00 Put Value Delta UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $59.00 Put Value Delta Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 22
23 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Definition 2 Derivative of option price Mathematically, for any given point on graph below the derivative will show the rate of change of the option price CALL VALUE Call Price STOCK PRICE Stock Price Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 23
24 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Definition 3 Underlying shares equivalent (Hedge Ratio) In absolute terms the Delta of an option is between A Call with a delta of.60 means that a dollar rise in the stock price causes the option price to go up $ Contract = 100 shares to = $60.00 =60 shares If you Buy to Open 5 contracts with a 0.43 Delta you have the equivalent of 215 Deltas (5 x.43 x 100) The share equivalent is 215 shares Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 24
25 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Definition 4 Likelihood of expiring ITM It is not exactly/mathematically precise, but the option delta projects the probability of the option finishing ITM A option with a delta of.60 = 60% probability of ITM An option with a delta of.34 34% probability of ITM Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 25
26 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Option deltas are not constant and are based upon the dynamic inputs of the pricing model stock price, time to expiration, volatility Call and Put pairs the delta s are closely correlated As a general rule, the absolute value of a call delta + the absolute value of the put delta add up close to 1.00 The reason is the mathematical relationship between Put-Call Parity (we explain this in more detail in our Option Synthetics video) Options ITM have higher delta s Options ATM have delta s approx.50 Options OTM have delta s less than.50 Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 26
27 Option Greeks Delta (Δ) Effect of Time on Delta The more time left until an option expires the less certain it is whether the option will be ITM or OTM Therefore, the Delta s of both ITM & OTM options reflect that uncertainty ITM Option Delta s increase as expiration approaches OTM Option Delta s decrease as expiration approaches Effect of Volatility on Delta As Volatility increases OTM Delta s increase & ITM Delta s decrease As Volatility decreases OTM Delta s decrease & ITM Delta s increase Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 27
28 Option Greeks Gamma (Г) Gamma (Г) can be defined: 1. Gamma is the rate of change of an option s delta given a change in the price of the underlying security 2. Gamma is stated in terms of deltas per dollar move Gamma is the second derivative of the graph of the option price relative to the stock price Gamma (like Delta) is not constant ITM & OTM options have lower gamma ATM options have higher gamma Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 28
29 Option Greeks Gamma (Г) Underlying Price Movement Long Calls UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $61.00 $62.00 Call Value Delta Gamma UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $59.00 $58.00 Call Value Delta Gamma Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 29
30 Option Greeks Gamma (Г) Underlying Price Movement Long Puts UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $61.00 $62.00 Put Value Delta Gamma UNDERLYING STOCK PRICE MOVE Stock Price $60.00 $59.00 $58.00 Put Value Delta Gamma Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 30
31 Option Greeks Gamma (Г) When you buy (Long) options you acquire positive gamma Positive gamma helps you causes options to gain value at a faster rate and lose value at a slower rate When you sell (Short) options you acquire negative gamma Negative gamma works against you as a short seller it will accelerate your losses Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 31
32 Option Greeks Theta (θ) Option Prices/value are broken into 2 components; Intrinsic & Extrinsic Intrinsic is easily measurable [the ITM part of premium] Extrinsic value is considered the time value [the premium paid over parity for the option] The decay in option value because of time passage is called time decay or Theta in the Greeks Long Options = Negative Theta Short Options = Positive Theta If interest rates are above zero then call theta is higher than put theta ATM options have highest theta Only the option s extrinsic value is subject to Theta Higher Volatility also increases an Options premiums thus also increasing Theta decay Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 32
33 Option Greeks Theta (θ) Theta is not constant...it is non-linear The higher the extrinsic value the higher the Theta Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 33
34 Option Greeks - Vega Vega measures the rate of change of an options theoretical value relative to a change in Implied Volatility (IV) This is the value that, when entered into an option pricing model returns the option s theoretical value When IV rises or falls, option prices rise or fall in line with it (Vega is the rate of this change) A Call (Put) with the same expiration month & the same strike on the same underlying will have the same Vega value as its corresponding Put (Call) Long options have Positive Vega/Short options have Negative Vega The higher the time premium, the higher the Vega ATM options have the highest Vega since Vega only effects extrinsic value If an option is valued at 1.68 and it s Vega is.06 then the following price change can occur with a change in Volatility Volatility increases from 22% to 25%; Option value increases by.18 to 1.86 (10.7% increase in value) Volatility decreases from 45% to 28%; Option value decreases by 1.02 to.66 (60.7% decrease in value) Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 34
35 Option Volatility Historical Volatility (HV) [Also known as Statistical or Realized Volatility] Is defined as the Annualized Standard Deviation of daily returns HV is a simple measure of how volatile the price movement of a security has been during a certain period of time Example: (Both Stock A and Stock B are trading around 100 per share) Stock A moves up/down $5 to $7 per share Stock B moves up/down $1 to $2 per share Stock A has tended to move more than Stock B as a percentage of price without regard to direction Therefore Stock A is more volatile than Stock B Therefore Stock A has a higher HV than Stock B So HV is a measure of how volatile the price movement of a security has been during a certain period of time But exactly how much higher is Stock A s HV than Stock B s HV? Well, first Volatility of any given stock is measured in terms of Standard Deviation Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 35
36 Option Volatility Standard Deviation Standard Deviation [Std. Dev] (σ or sigma is the Greek symbol) Is a mathematical calculation that measures the dispersion of data from a mean value The mean is the average stock price over a certain period of time And the further from the mean the dispersion of the occurrences (daily close) was during the period, the greater the Standard Deviation The most common time frame is the past 20 days (weekends do not count) to calculate HV And understanding the timeframe in question is important to understanding what the output represents Standard Deviation is stated as a percentage move in the price of an asset. For example, Stock 1 is at $100 per share has a standard deviation of 15% (when you are given a standard deviation measure, it is always assumed to be a Std. Dev of 1) then on an annualized basis the stock can move up to $115 or down to $85 per share So on any given stock that has a Std. Dev of 15% is considered more volatile than a stock that has a Std. Dev of 6% The graph of the data that represents the closing price dispersion of any given stock which is reflected in its 1 Std. Dev of movement is called a distribution curve.

37 Random Walk Theory * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 68% 95% Std Dev tells us not only how fast the distribution spreads out; -it tells us about the probability of a ball ending up in a specific trough...it measures the dispersion of data from a mean value Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 37
38 Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 38
39 Option Greeks Rho (ρ) Rho is the rate of change in an option value relative to a change in the interest rate If interest rates go up = Call Value rises If interest rates go down = Call Value decreases Usually the least followed Greek since it takes a very large move in interest rates to effect Rho to an extinct that moves the option value mostly in Leaps is where Rho can be a factor For example, a Call with a Rho of 0.12 will increase $0.12 if interest rates rise a full point (100 basis points) Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 39
40 Dividends Effect on Options Dividends paid decrease Call value & increase Put value 4 Key dates you must be aware of: 1) Declaration date: when company formally declares a dividend 2) Ex-Dividend date: 2 days before the record date [due to stock settlement] 3) Record date: date of record for who gets the dividend payment 4) Payable date: date of payment ABC Corp announces on March 31 st (declaration date) it will pay a $0.25 dividend to shareholders of record on April 3 rd (the record date) payable on April 23 rd (the payable date)...the market participates wishing to get the dividend must own the stock on April 1 st (the ex-dividend date). Option holders or writers do not receive or pay dividends Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 40
41 Dividends Effect on Options Call Value with $0.10 Dividend Price 61 Strike 60 Days to Expiry 528 Volatility 25.5% Interest 5.00% Call Value 9.65 Put Value with $0.10 Dividend Price 61 Strike 60 Days to Expiry 528 Volatility 25.5% Interest 5.00% Put Value 5.42 Call Value with $0.50 Dividend Price 61 Strike 60 Days to Expiry 528 Volatility 25.5% Interest 5.00% Call Value 8.13 Put Value with $0.50 Dividend Price 61 Strike 60 Days to Expiry 528 Volatility 25.5% Interest 5.00% Put Value 6.08 Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 41

48 Description Objective Trade Outlook Trade Rationale Composition Vertical Spreads Strategy Overviews Vertical Spreads are 2 legged option strategies designed to play either a bullish or bearish bias with either Calls or Puts in the same contract month. Two major Vertical Spread Types: Debit Spreads where you pay to play meaning your account is debited for the cost of the trade since you are long the more expensive option and short the less expense option in the same month and Credit Spreads where you get paid to play meaning you are shorting the higher priced option contract and going long the lower priced contract. Your goal is to have the price action move to and through the short option strike price. Trade is executed when your bias is Bullish using Call options or Bearish using Puts. Vertical Spreads are designed to capture a Bullish or Bearish Play while reducing the effect of delta on your overall option position and enhancing your odds of success. Typical returns can be anywhere from 20% to well over 400% depending upon strike selection. All Calls or all Puts in the same contract month at different strikes Copyright 2016 Market Technologies, LLC. 48
