Delta

Delta measures the rate of change of an option premium with respect to a price change in the underlying futures contract. Delta is a measure of price sensitivity at any given moment. Not all options move point-for-point with their underlying futures contracts. If a futures contract moves .50 points and the option only moves .25 points, its delta is 50%; i.e., the option is only 50% as sensitive to the movement of underlying futures contract. The delta will change as an option moves from out-of-the-money to at-the-money to in-the-money, approaching 100%. Deltas range from 0% to 100%. The delta of the underlying futures contract is 100% (options pricing software is normally used to calculate delta).

同被称作行使价 (strike price),为期权买方可买入或 卖出标的期货合约的价格。 期权行权会产生按指定行 使价的期货头寸。 举例,期权买方通过执行 12 月原油 (WTI)9400 看涨期权合约,得以 94.00 美元的价格建 立多头 12 月原油(WTI)期货头寸。 如果持有一份 8 月 份 CME 活牛 120 看跌期权的交易者执行其期权,其将 得以价格 120.000 建立空头 8 月份 CME 活牛的期货头 寸。 行使价格区间及范围由交易所设定,并取决于各标的合 约不同的价格区间。行使价设定在高于或低于现行期货 价格,而在期货价格大幅上涨或下跌时则另加更多行使 价的期权合约。

Exercise Price

Also known as the strike price, the exercise price is the price at which the option buyer may buy or sell the underlying futures contracts. Exercising the option results in a futures position at the designated strike price. For example, by exercising a December Crude Oil (WTI) 9400 call, the buyer of the option would then be long a December Crude Oil (WTI) contract at$94.00. If the holder of an August CME Live Cattle 120 put were to exercise his or her option, the result would be a short futures position, at 120.000, in August CME Live Cattle. Strike prices are set by the exchange and have different intervals depending on the underlying contract. Strike prices are set above and below the existing futures price and additional strikes are added if the futures move significantly up or down.

履约保证金

期权买方在交易时只须支付期权费全额。 但由于卖出 期权所涉及到的风险更为大,因此期权卖方必须支出 履约保证金 (Performance Bond)。 您可以与经纪商 商量就卖出期权相关的履约保证金要求(参见有关卖 出期权所致风险的部分)。 一旦期权头寸行权成为期 货头寸,就和任何其他期货头寸一样需要支付履约保 证金。

Performance Bond

An option buyer must only put up the amount of the premium, in full, at the time of the trade. However, because option selling involves more risk, an option seller or writer will be required to post performance bond. Your broker can discuss the performance bond requirement associated with selling options (see section regarding risks in selling options). Once an options position is exercised into a futures position, performance bond is required, just as for any other futures position.

期权费

期权费 (premium) 指期权买方/卖方为期权所带权利支 付/收取的价格。 因此,最终的期权费用是由市场供需 来决定。 各种不同因素会影响期权费,包括与期货价格水平相关的行使价水平、距离到期的剩余时间以及市场 波动性。所有这些因素将会有进一步的讨论。

Premium

The premium is the price that the buyer of an option pays and the seller of an option receives for the rights conveyed by an option. Thus, ultimately the cost of an option is determined by supply and demand. Various factors affect options premiums, including strike price level in relation to the futures price level; time remaining to expiration; and market volatility —all of which will be discussed further.

期权

期货合约期权是在特定到期日当日或之前以特定价格买入或卖出特定期货合约的权利,而非义务。期权有两种类型:看涨期权和看跌期权。两种期权实际上在不持有期货头寸的情况下利用期货价格变动而获利的机会。

Option

An option on a futures contract is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular futures contract at a specific price on or before a certain expiration date. There are two types of options: call options and put options. Each offers an opportunity to take advantage of futures price moves without actually having a futures position.

期权买方

期权买方可选择行使其权利来建立标的期货的头寸。 看 涨期权买方可行使权利来买入标的期货,而看跌期权买 方则可行使权利来卖出标的期货合约。 不过在多数情况 当中,期权买方不会行使期权,而会在到期之前在市场 上进行冲销(若期权还有任何价值)。

Option Buyer

An option buyer can choose to exercise his or her right and take a position in the underlying futures. A call buyer can exercise the right to buy the underlying futures and a put buyer can exercise the right to sell the underlying futures contract. In most cases though, option buyers do not exercise their options, but instead offset them in the market before expiration, if the options have any value.

期权卖方

期权卖方(即卖出本身未持有的期权的交易者),也称 作期权发行者(writer)或授予人 (grantor)。 当期权买方 行使其买入/卖出的期权合约里规定的期货头寸的权利 时,期权卖方在合约上有义务接受与期权买方建立相反 的期货头寸。 期权卖方收取期权费,因此承担持有可能不利于自己的期货头寸的风险。

Option Seller

An option seller (i.e., someone who sells an option that he or she did not previously own) is also called an option writer or grantor. An option seller is contractually obligated to take the opposite futures position if the buyer exercises his or her right to the futures position specified in the option the buyer has purchased. In return for the premium, the seller assumes the risk of taking a possibly adverse futures position.

期货业务员

时间价值

Time Value

The amount by which an option's premium exceeds the intrinsic value of the option. Usually relative to the time left to expiration.

时间价值衰减

正如之前所讨论的,期权超出内在价值以外的价值被 称作时间价值。 时间价值为期权交易者在期权价值有 增长可能性的前提下愿意支付的款额。 时间价值随着 一天天的过去逐渐丧失,并且在到期日靠近时加快丧 失率。 期权的这个特性被称作时间衰减,而这也是期 权为何有时被任作“递耗资产 (wasting assets)”的原 因所在。 如果时间流逝,而标的期货合约在到期之前 的价格变化不足,期权的时间价值将随之衰减,期权 交易者可能会发生损失。

Time Value Decay

As discussed in the previous section, the value of an option beyond intrinsic value is called time value. It is the sum of money option traders are willing to pay given the likelihood of the option increasing in value. Time value erodes as each day passes, accelerating as expiration nears. This characteristic of options is referred to as time-decay and is the reason why options are sometimes considered “wasting assets.” If time passes and the underlying futures contract does not move far enough by expiration, the option’s time value will decay and the option trader may incur a loss.
