#annualized_premium_value(opts) ⇒ Object

Annualized Premium The annualized premium is the value of the option divided by the strike price. You can use annualized premium to develop an intuitive understanding of how much the market is “paying” for a dollar of risk. For example, if a stock is trading at $50 and you sell a $50 strike 6 month call for $4, you are getting paid 8% in 6 months, or about 16% annualized, in exchange for being willing to buy at $50, the current price.

  nil_or_gte0(100 * Math.log(1 + opts[:option_price] / opts[:option_strike]) / opts[:option_expires_pct_year])
end

#annualized_time_value(opts) ⇒ Object

Annualized Time Value The time value of the option divided by the strike price, then annualized. You can use annualized time value to develop an intuitive understanding of how much value the option market is adding to an in-the-money option beyond the intrinsic value. For example, if a stock is trading at $40 and a six month call on that stock with a strike price of $35 has an intrinsic value of $5 and a total value of $7, the time value ($2) divided by the strike is ($2/$40) = 5%. Annualizing that time value to a one year horizon on a continuously compounded basis yields 9.76% (2 × ln(1 + 0.05)).

end

#break_even(opts) ⇒ Object

Chance of Breakeven The probability that a stock will be trading beyond the breakeven price as implied by the option price. Chance of Breakeven can be used to get a sense for the valuation of the option by comparing the markets’ estimate of Chance of Breakeven to estimates derived from your own fundamental research. If you believe the Chance of Breakeven is less than the probability that a stock will be beyond the breakeven price at option expiration, then you believe the option is undervalued, and visa versa.

#delta(opts) ⇒ Object

Delta A measurement of the change in the price of an option resulting from a change in the price of the underlying security. Delta is positive for calls and negative for puts. Delta can be calculated as the dollar change of the option that an investor can expect for a one-dollar change in the underlying security. For example, let’s say an option on a stock trading at $50 costs $1 and has a delta of $0.50 per dollar of underlying stock price change. If the stock price rises to $52, the price of the option will increase by $1 (the $2 price change times the $0.50 delta). After the stock price movement, the option will be worth $2 ($1 initial cost plus $1 delta). Delta can also be calculated as a percentage change in the option price for a one-percent change in the underlying security; this method of viewing the delta value is also known as “leverage.”

#gamma(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Gamma A measurement of the change in delta as the price of the underlying stock changes. As the underlying stock price changes, the delta of the option changes, too. Gamma indicates how quickly your exposure to the price movement of the underlying security changes as the price of the underlying security varies. For example, if you have a call with a strike of $50 and the stock price is $50, the delta likely will be approximately $0.50 for a one-dollar movement of the stock. At a stock price of $60, the delta will be greater, closer to $0.75. At a stock price of $40, the delta will be less, closer to $0.25. In this example, if the stock price changes from $50 to $60, then the delta will change from $0.50 to $0.75. The $10 change in stock price caused a $0.25 change in delta, so gamma is approximately $0.25/10, or $0.025, in this case.

#premium_value(opts) ⇒ Object

Intrinsic Value The value that the option would pay if it were executed today. For example, if a stock is trading at $40, a call on that stock with a strike price of $35 would have $5 of intrinsic value ($40-$35) if it were exercised today. However, the call should actually be worth more than $5 to account for the value of the chance of any further appreciation until expiration, and the difference between the price and the intrinsic value would be the time value.

#time_value(opts) ⇒ Object

Time Value The value of an option that captures the chance of further appreciation before expiration. The value of an option can be broken down into intrinsic value, or the value of the option if it were exercised today, and time value, or the added value of the option over and above the intrinsic value. For example, if a stock is trading at $40 and a call with a strike price of $35 were trading for $7, the call would have a $5 intrinsic value ($40-$35) and a $2 time value ($7-$5). Time value will decay by expiration assuming the underlying security stays at the same price.

#vega(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Vega The change in the price of an option for a change in the implied volatility of the option, all else held equal. In general, as the options market thinks it is more difficult to value a stock, implied volatility and therefore the price of the options will increase. For example, if an option is trading for $1, the implied volatility is 20%, and the vega is $0.05, then a one-percentage-point increase in implied volatility to 21% would correspond to an increase in the price of the option to $1.05. In percentage terms, the vega in this case would be ($0.05/$1.00)/(1 percentage point) = 5%.
