Options Trading Strategies, Basic Concepts
2007-11-07 09:59:00 When venturing into the options market, the best way to get the lay of the land is to be acquainted with at least some of the more elementary concepts. These will aid the new investor in successfully executing basic trading strategies. Two basic terms, the call and the put, are the epicenter of the trading strategies. To buy a call confers the right, not the obligation, to buy at a price that is pre set. Conversely, puts give the buyer the right to sell at a pre set price. Options are both sold and bought, meaning that the seller grants the buyer the right and takes on an obligation to fulfill the other side of the trade. The variations to this maneuver include: Long Calls The long call is the easiest to understand and is the most basic concept. MSFT (Microsoft) traded at $28 with June 31 options that were to expire on the third Friday of June. The strike price was $31, meaning that it was pre set so if exercised it had to be bought at that price. Short (Naked) Calls When the ...
Options Trading - Blessed Are the Greeks - Part I
2007-11-06 09:58:00 The Greeks have long been extolled for their extensive contributions to establishing elementary mathematics. It was the modern Greeks, however, who created the tools that aid options traders to quantify risk and calculate prices.

The underlying mathematics regarding this tool is quite complex, but the basic concepts are simple. They can be used by any trader as a method of measuring risk and maximizing profits. The Greeks are founded on the basis of particular variables that affect the price of an option. Much of this is common sense. For example, the determinants are the underlying asset’s market price, the option strike price, the time left to expiration, volatility and short term interest rates. This data is easy to acquire so it is a logical assumption that it plays a part in an option’s value. The strike price is a pr...
