Options Trading And Price And Time Trading
Futures Options trading
Please only use these examples for educational purposes. Paper trade them.
I was doing my search for option inconsistencies and here is what I found.
March Swiss Franc futures contract closed at .9110.
(February options follow the March contract)
Feb. Swiss Franc options have 22 days left until expiration.
March Swiss Franc options have 50 days left until expiration.
Feb. Swiss Franc .95 Call options settled at .12.
March Swiss Franc .95 Call options settled at .34.
March Swiss Franc is close to its 52 week high of .9235. If you felt the market will fall, you can put on a reverse calendar spread. You can buy the front month out of the money option and sell a further month out of the money option. The further month option has more to lose if there is a big move, and also the time decay should be slightly greater due to the higher cost per day of the option. Keep this option spread in mind as an alternative to other types of credit or debit spreads.
When putting on any calendar spread, think of buying the cheaper cost per day options and selling the more expensive.
Even if you are not putting on a spread, this is a great way to choose which option to buy or sell.
