    What is an Options Straddle? | Options Combinations | Trading Strategies

    What is a Straddle? Options Trading Strategy - Options CombinationsThese classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleAn options straddle involves buying a call and put with same strike price and expiration date. If the stock price is close to the strike price at expiration of the options, the straddle leads to a loss. However, if there is a sufficiently large move in either direction, a significant profit will result. A straddle is appropriate when an investor is expecting a large move in a stock price but does not know in which direction the move will be.The purchase of the two options is known as a long straddle, while the sale of the two options is known as a short straddle. What is a Long Straddle?A long straddle involves "going long," in other words, purchasing both a call option and a put option on some underlying. The two options are bought at the same strike price and expire at the same time. The owner of a long straddle makes a profit if the underlying price moves a long way from the strike price, either above or below. Thus, an investor may take a long straddle position if they think the market is going to be highly volatile, but they do not know in which direction it is going to move. This position is a limited risk, meaning the most a purchaser may lose is the cost of both options. At the same time, there is unlimited profit potential. This is quite an expensive options position as the trader is paying two premiums, so quite a large move is required to be profitable.What is a short straddle?A short straddle is a non-directional options trading strategy that involves simultaneously selling a put and a call of the same underlying security, strike price and expiration date. The profit is limited to the premium received from the sale of put and call. The risk is virtually unlimited as large moves of the underlying security's price either up or down will cause losses proportional to the magnitude of the price move. A maximum profit upon expiration is achieved if the underlying security trades exactly at the strike price of the straddle. In that case both puts and calls comprising the straddle expire worthless allowing straddle owner to keep full credit received as their profit. This strategy is called "nondirectional" because the short straddle profits when the underlying security changes little in price before the expiration of the straddle. The short straddle can also be classified as a credit spread because the sale of the short straddle results in a credit of the premiums of the put and call. A risk for holder of a short straddle position is unlimited due to the sale of the call and the put options which expose the investor to unlimited losses (on the call) or losses limited to the strike price (on the put), whereas maximum profit is limited to the premium gained by the initial sale of the options.To learn more subscribe and watch Patrick's new videos which come out every day.

    Will The Department Of Justice Break Up Big Tech? What Is Anti Trust Law?

    The US Department of Justice has accused Google of suppressing competition in internet search in an antitrust lawsuit that marks the beginning of a landmark case against one of the world’s largest technology groups.The justice department called Google “a monopoly gatekeeper for the internet” and alleged that the company, owned by Alphabet, had used a “web of exclusionary” deals to stymie competitors in the search business.Last week’s report from the House antitrust subcommittee into Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook alleges that the tech giants wield monopoly or substantial power, and have abused it. Each it claims serves as a gatekeeper over a particular distribution channel, they can “pick winners and losers” throughout the economy. They can charge excessive fees, impose onerous contract terms, and hoard data. The big four are the “kinds of monopolies we last saw in the era of oil barons and railroad tycoons”.Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is a piece of Internet legislation in the United States, passed into law providing immunity for website publishers from third-party content. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plan to warn the Senate that stripping back Section 230 could harm free speech on the internet, according to testimonies they prepared for a Senate hearing on Wednesday, which will focus on the protections.In this weeks video we will discuss anti trust law, how it works and if the big tech firms Google, Apple Amazon Twitter and Facebook might be broken up?Patrick's Books:Statistics for Traders: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Financial Derivatives: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Visit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance Learn more about your ad choices.

    Simple Options Positions - Call Options - Put Options - Long and Short - Beginners Tutorial

    These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleThere is no free lunch with stocks and bonds. Options are no different. Options trading involves certain risks that the investor must be aware of before making a trade.Options are derivatives of financial securities – their value depends on the price of some other asset. That is essentially what the term, derivative, means. There are many different types of securities that fall under the label of derivative, including calls, puts, futures, forwards, swaps (of which there are many types), and credit derivatives which we will cover in a future video.Options represent the right (but not the obligation) to take some sort of action (buy or sell an underlying security) by a predetermined date (the expiration date). There are two types of options, calls and puts. And there are two sides to every option transaction -- the party buying the option, and the party selling (also called writing) the option. Each side comes with its own risk/reward profile and may be entered into for different strategic reasons. The buyer of the option is said to have a long position, while the seller of the option (the writer) is said to have a short position.Note that tradable options are contracts between two parties. The companies whose securities underlie the option contracts are themselves neither involved in the transactions nor the cash flows between the various parties in the market. In any option trade, the counterparty may be another investor, or perhaps a market maker (a type of middle man offering to both buy and sell a particular security in the hopes of making a profit on the differing bid/ask prices). All parties it should be noted do not directly face each other, instead they face the options clearinghouse, and I have a separate video on that topic.What's a call option?A call option, is the option to buy the underlying stock at a pre-agreed price (the strike price) by a pre-agreed date (the expiration date). The buyer of a call has the right to buy shares at the strike price until expiration. The seller of the call (also known as the call "writer") is the one with the corresponding obligation. If the call buyer decides to buy (known as exercising the option) the call writer is obliged to sell their shares to the call buyer at the strike price.If an investor bought a call option on Apple Computer stock with a strike price at $100 expiring in two months. That call buyer has the right to exercise that option, paying $100 per share, and receiving the shares. The writer of the call would have the obligation to deliver those shares and be happy receiving $100 for them. What's a put option?If a call is the right to buy, then perhaps unsurprisingly, a put is the option to sell the underlying stock at a predetermined strike price until a fixed expiry date. The put buyer has the right to sell shares at the strike price, and if he/she decides to sell, the put writer is obliged to buy at that price.Why use options?A call buyer seeks to make a profit when the price of the underlying shares rises. The call price will rise as the shares do. The call writer is making the opposite bet, hoping for the stock price to decline or, at the very least, rise less than the amount received for selling the call in the first place.The put buyer profits when the underlying stock price falls. A put increases in value as the underlying stock decreases in value. Conversely, put writers are hoping for the option to expire with the stock price above the strike price, or at least for the stock to decline an amount less than what they have been paid to sell the put.We'll note here that relatively few Learn more about your ad choices.

    Pricing Interest Rate Swaps

    In todays video we will learn the two methods for pricing interest rate swaps.These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleInterest Rate Swap ValuationSwaps are typically valued at zero at inception. Afterwards they, may take on a positive or negative valuation. Swaps are a zero-sum game, one counterparty’s gain is equal to the other counterparty’s loss.A plain vanilla interest rate swap can be priced as either a combination of a long position in one bond and a short position in another bond, or as a portfolio of forward-rate-agreements. In this video we will learn about both the bond valuation approach and the FRA (Forward rate agreement) approach to pricing interest rate swaps.Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives Learn more about your ad choices.

    Option Payoff Diagrams For Put Options and Call Options, What do they mean?Buy The Book Here: https://amzn.to/2vRA7wcVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleIn this video we learn about options payoff diagrams for put options and call options, we see what the payoff diagrams look like for being long a call, long a put, short a call and short a put. We learn how to understand these diagrams. Later there will be a video on options combinations and how to draw those payoff diagrams.An options payoff diagram, profit and loss diagram, or risk graph, is a visual representation of the possible profit and loss of an option strategy at options expiration. Option traders use these diagrams to evaluate how a strategy may perform over a range of prices, thereby gaining an understanding of potential outcomes. Because of the visual nature of a diagram, traders can evaluate the potential profit and loss – and the risk and reward of the position – at a glance.To create a profit and loss diagram, values are plotted along the X and Y axes. The horizontal axis (the x-axis) shows the underlying prices, labeled in order with lower prices on the left and higher prices towards the right. The current underlying price is usually centered along this axis. The vertical axis (the y-axis) represents the potential profit and loss values for the position. The breakeven point (that indicates no profit and no loss) is usually centered on the y-axis, with profits shown above this point (higher along the y-axis) and losses below this point (lower on the axis).Trading and Pricing Financial DerivativesPatrick Boyle On Finance Learn more about your ad choices.
