CHAP 5 - DERIVATIVE STRATEGY A. BASIC STRATEGY I. Asset strategy - Long position •
Contract: 100 shares, $100/per share •
Profit/ loss diagram: a “per share” basic
Maximum loss: $100 at stock price ST = 0
Break even point (BEP) = ST = 100 (point no loss and no profit) - Risk profile: •
Substantial risk (when stock price can ↓ 0) •
Unlimited profit potential (when stock price can ↑ definitely) II. Option strategy Call option Put option
Long position ST < X ⇒ do not exercise (No)
ST < X ⇒ exercise (Yes) → Profit = 0 – C0 = - C0 → Profit = X – ST – P0
ST > X ⇒ exercise (Yes)
ST > X ⇒ do not exercise (No) → Profit = ST – X – C0
→ Profit = 0 – P0 = – P0
Short position ST < X ⇒ do not exercise (No)
ST < X ⇒ exercise (Yes)
(lưu ý short phải → Profit = 0 + C0 = C0 → Profit = (X – ST) + P0 đổi dấu công thức thành ct
ST > X ⇒ exercise (Yes)
ST > X ⇒ do not exercise (No)
như bên) → Profit = – (ST – X) + C0 → Profit = 0 + P0 = P0 1. Long call
Ex 1: Buy a 100 call option at 5. Calculate profit at stock price be $105 and $95? → X = 100, C0 = 5
→ ST = 105 > X = 100 ⇒ exercise → Profit = 105 – 100 − 5 = 0
→ ST = 95 < X = 100 ⇒ do not exercise → Profit = 0 – 5 = −5
Ex 2: Buy a 70 call option at 3. Calculate profit at stock price be $79 → X = 70, C0 = 3
→ ST =79 > X = 70 ⇒ exercise → Profit = 79 – 70 − 3 = 6 Risk
profile: limited risk + unlimited profit potential 2. Long put
Ex 1: Buy a 100 put option at 4. Calculate profit at stock price be $95? → X = 100, C0 = 4
→ ST = 95 < X = 100 ⇒ exercise → Profit = 100 – 95 – 4 =1
Ex 2: Buy a 90 put option at 4.25. Calculate profit at stock price be $81? lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115 → X = 90, C0 = 4.25
→ ST = 81 < X = 90 ⇒ exercise → Profit = 90 – 81 − 4.25 = 4.75 Risk profile: •
Limited risk → Maximum risk = Premium/Fee •
Substantial profit potential → Stock can only ↓ 0 3. Short call
Ex: Short position a 100 call at 5. Calculate profit at stock price be $105 → X=100, C0 = 5
→ ST = 105 > X = 100 ⇒ exercise → Profit = − (105 − 100) + 5 = 0 Risk profile: •
Unlimited risk → Stock price can ↑ definitely •
Limited profit potential → Maximum potential profit = Premium/ Fee received 4. Short put
Ex: Short position a 100 put option at 4. Calculate profit at stock price be $95 → X = 100, P0 = 4
→ ST = 95 < X = 100 ⇒ exercise → Profit = − (100 − 95) + 4 = −1 Risk profile: •
Substantial risk → Stock price ↓ < BEP •
Limited profit potential → Maximum profit earned (ST > X) + Profit potential limited to premium received III. G
1. Synthetic long asset: Long call Same X and T Short put Long asset Ex: ST = 80, X = 50
Strategy 1: Long call: ST = 80 > X = 50 Exercise Profit = 80 – 50 = 30
Strategy 2: Long asset: -50 + 80 = 30
2. Synthetic short asset Long put Same X and T Short call Short asset Ex: ST = 80, X = 50 lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Strategy 1: Short call: ST = 80 > X = 50 Exercise Profit = -(80 – 50) = -30
Strategy 2: Short asset: 50 – 80 = -30 3. Synthetic call Long asset Same X and T Short put Long call Ex: ST = 20, X = 50
Strategy 1: Long call: ST = 20 < X = 50 Do not exercise Profit = 0
Strategy 2: Long asset: -50 + 20 = -30
Long put: ST = 20 < X = 50 Exercise Profit = 50 – 20 = 30 4. Synthetic put Short asset Same X and T Long call Long put Ex: ST = 80, X = 50
Strategy 1: Long call: ST = 80 < X = 50 Exercise Profit = 80 – 50
Strategy 2: Short asset: -50 + 20 = -30
Long put: ST = 80 > X = 50 Do not exercise Profit = 0 IV.
Covered calls & Protective puts 1. Covered calls ST < X ST > X Long stock - S0 + ST - S0 + ST Short call No: 0 + C0 = C0 Yes: -(ST – X) + C0 Total -S0 + ST + C0 X – S0 + C0
Maximum gain = (X – S0) + C0 Maximum loss = S0 – C0 BEP = S0 – C0
Expiration value = ST – Max [(ST – X); 0]
Profit at expiration = ST – Max [(ST – X); 0] lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Ex: An investor buy an underlying asset at price $15.84 and short call option at $1.44 at the
same time. Strike price of call option is $17. Calculate maximum profit, maximum loss,
and break even point. Then draw the paragraph? → S0 = 15.84; X = 17; C0 = 1.44
→ Maximum gain = (17 – 15.84) + 1.44 = 2.6
→ Maximum loss = 15.84 – 1.44 = 14.4 → BEP = 14.4 2. Protective puts -
The stock-owning inestors don’t want to sell share (↑ value)
want protect unrealized profit ST < X ST > X Long stock - S0 + ST - S0 + ST Long put (X – ST) – P0 - P0 X – S S Total 0 – P0 T – S0 – P0 (Max loss) (Max gain)
Maximum profit = ST – S0 – P0 (Unlimited profit potential) •
Maximum loss = S0 – X + P0 (Limited loss) • BEP = S0 + P0 • Expiration value = Max(ST; X) •
Profit at expiration = Max(ST; X) – S0 −P0 lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Ex: An investor buy an underlying asset at price $15.84 and long put option at $1.46 at the
same time. Strike price of put option is $15. Calculate maximum profit, maximum loss, and
break even point. Then draw the paragraph?
→ S = 15.84, X = 15, P = 1.46₀ ₀ → Maximum gain = Unlimited
→ Maximum loss = 15.84 - 15 + 1.46 = 2.3
→ BEP = 15.84 + 1.46 = 17.30 3. Collars Long asset Long a put (X < S )ₚ ₀
Short a call (X𝚌 > S )₀
Profit/loss = (S - X )+ or (Xₜ ₚ 𝚌 - S )+ₜ
Ex: An investor buy an underlying asset at price $12 and long put option at $1.46, short call option at
price $1.44 at the same time. Strike price of put and call option are $15 and $17. Calculate profit and loss?
→ S = $12, P = 1.46, C = $1.44, X = $15, X₀ ₀ ₀ ₚ
𝚌 = $17, ST = 16 → (16 - 15)+ or (17 - 16)+ B. OPTION STRATEGY I. OPTION SPREAD
Spread: purchase 1 option + sale 1 option
1. Bull call spread (Debit spread): Reduce risk for long call lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Buy ↓ X call option (C > C )₁ ₁
₂ Sell ↑ X call option (X < X )₂ ₁ ₂ (Net debit)
Maximum profit = (X - X ) - (C - C )₂₁ ₁ ₂ Maximum loss = C - C₁ ₂ BEP = X + (C - C )₁₁ ₂
Ex: An investor uses bull call spread strategy to earn profit through buying a $60 call option at
$2.5 and selling a $65 call option at $0.5. Calculate profit or loss when stock price at $63 and $66. Buy $60 call option at $2.5 Sell $65 call option at $0.5 => Solution: Case 1: S = $63ₜ t = 0 T Total Long a $60 call option -2.5
ST > X (63 > 60) -> Exercise -> Profit = 63 - 60 = 3 Short a $65 call option
+0.5 ST < X (63 < 65) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 3 -2 (Net debit)
=> Sum = $1 per share * 100 shares = $100 Case 2: ST = $66 t = 0 T Total Long a $60 call option -2.5
ST > X (66 > 60) -> Exercise -> Profit = 66 - 60 = 6 Short a $65 call option
+0.5 ST < X (66 > 65) -> Exercise -> Profit = -(66 – 65) = -1 5 -2 (Net debit)
=> Sum = $3 per share * 100 shares = $300
Maximum profit = (65 – 60) – (2.5 – 0.5) = 5 – 2 = 3 => 3*100 = $300
Maximum loss = 2.5 – 0.5 = 2 => 2*100 = 200
BEP = 60 + (2.5 – 0.5) = 60 + 2 = 62
2. Bear call spread (Credit spread) lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Buy ↑ X call option (C < C )₁ ₁
₂ Sell ↓ X call option (X > X )₂ ₁ ₂ (Net credit) Maximum profit = C - C₂ ₁
Maximum loss = (X - X ) - (C - C )₁ ₂ ₂ ₁ BEP = X + (C - C )₂₂ ₁
Ex: An investor uses bear call spread strategy to earn profit through buying a $65 call option at
$0.5 and selling a $60 call option at $2.5. Calculate profit or loss when stock price at $62.5, $58.5 and $68.5. Buy 65 call option $0.5 Sell 60 call option $2.5 Case 1: S = $ₜ 62.5 t = 0 T Total Long a $65 call option -0.5
ST < X (62.5 < 65) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 Short a $60 call option +2.5
ST > X (62.5 > 60) -> Exercise -> Profit = -(62.5 - 60) = -2.5 -2.5 2 (Net credit)
Sum = -$0.5 per share * 100 shares = -$50 Case 2: ST = $58.5 t = 0 T Total Long a $65 call option -0.5
ST < X (58.5 < 65) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 Short a $60 call option +2.5
ST < X (58.5 > 60) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 0 2 (Net credit)
Sum = $2 per share * 100 shares = $200 Case 3: ST = $68.5 t = 0 T Total Long a $65 call option -0.5
ST > X (68.5 > 65) -> Exercise -> Profit = 3 Short a $60 call option +2.5
ST > X (68.5 > 60) -> Exercise -> Profit = -8.5 -5 2 (Net credit)
Sum = -$3 per share * 100 shares = -$300
Maximum profit = 2.5 - 0.5 = 2 => 2 * 100 = $200
Maximum loss = (65 - 60) - (2.5 - 0.5) = 3 => 3 * 100 = $300
BEP = 60 + (2.5 - 0.5) = 60 + 2 = 62 lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
3. Bull put spread (credit spread)
Buy ↓ X1 put option (P1 < P2)
Sell ↑ X2 put option (X1 < X2) (Net credit) Maximum profit = P2 - P1
Maximum loss = (X2 - X1) - (P2 - P1) BEP = X2 - (P2 - P1)
Ex: An investor uses bull put spread strategy to earn profit through buying a $60 put option at
0.5 and selling a $65 put option at 2.75. Calculate profit or loss when stock price at $55.5. Buy 60 put option $0.5 Sell 65 put option $2.75 t = 0 T Total Long a $60 call option -0.5
ST < X (55.5 < 60) -> Exercise -> Profit = 4.5 Short a $65 call option
+2.75 ST < X (55.5 < 65) -> Exercise -> Profit = -9.5 -5 2.25 (Net credit)
=> Sum = -2.75 => Total = -$275
Maximum profit = 2.75 - 0.5 = 2.25 => 2.25 * 100 = $225
Maximum loss = (65 - 60) - (2.75 - 0.5) = 2.75 => 2.75 * 100 = $275 BEP = 65 - 2.25 = 62.75
4. Bear put spread (Debit spread)
Buy ↑ X1 put option (P1 > P2) lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
Sell ↓ X2 put option (X1 > X2) (Net debit)
Maximum profit = (X1 - X2) - (P1 - P2) Maximum loss = (P1 - P2) BEP = X1 - (P1 - P2)
Ex: An investor uses bear put spread strategy to earn profit through buying a $65 put option at
$2.75 and selling a $60 put option at $0.5. Calculate profit or loss when stock price at $67. t = 0 T Total Long a $65 call option
-2.75 ST > X (67 > 65) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 Short a $60 call option +0.5
ST > X (67 > 60) -> No exercise -> Profit = 0 0 -2.25 (Net credit) Sum = -2.25
Maximum profit = (65 - 60) - 2.25 = 2.75 ⇒ $275
Maximum loss = 2.75 - 0.5 = 2.25 ⇒ 2.25 * 100 = $225 BEP = 65 - 2.25 = 62.75 II. STRADDLES 1. Short straddles Sell call option (X1 = X2) Sell put option (Credit spread) Maximum profit = c + p
Maximum loss = loss on upside, unlimited loss
Maximum loss = loss on downside, substantial loss BEP (Upside) = X + (c + p) BEP (Downside) = X - (c + p) t = 0 Total Short a $60 call option at $3 3
Short a $60 put option at $2.75 2.75 5.75*100 = $575 5.75
BEP (Upside) = 60 + (3 + 2.75) = 65.75
BEP (Downside) = 60 – (3 + 2.75) = 54.25 lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115 2. Long straddles Buy call option (X1 = X2) Buy put option (debit spread) Maximum profit: - Upside: unlimited
- Downside: substantial profit Maximum loss = p + c BEP (upside) = X + (p + c) BEP (downside) = X - (p + c) t = 0 Total Buy a $65 call option at $4.3 -4.3 Buy a $65 put option at $3.95 -3.95 -8.25 * 100 = -$825 -8.25
Maximum loss = 4.3 + 3.95 = 8.25 => 8.25 * 100 = -$825
BEP (upside) = X + (p + c) = 65 + 8.25 = 73.25
BEP (downside) = X - (p + c) = 65 - 8.25 = 56.75 III. STRANGLE 1. Short strangle
Sell call option ↑ X1 (X1 > X2) Sell put option ↓ X2 (Credit) lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115 Maximum gain = c + p Maximum loss: •
Downside BEP = Substantial loss • Upside BEP = Unlimited Downside BEP = X2 - (c + p) Upside BEP = X1 + (c + p)
Ex: An investor uses short strangle strategy to earn profit through selling a $45 call option at
$3.75 and selling a $40 put option at $0.75. Calculate profit or loss, t = 0 Total
Sell a $45 call option at $3.75 3.75
Sell a $40 put option at $0.75 0.75 4.5 * 100 = $450 4.5 (credit)
Maximum gain = 4.5 ⇒ Total = 4.5 * 100 = $450
Downside BEP = 40 - 4.5 = 35.5 Upside BEP = 45 + 4.5 = 49 2. Long strangle
Buy call option ↑ X1 (X1 > X2) Buy put option ↓ X2 (Debit) Max gain: - Downside = Substantial gain - Upside = Unlimited gain Max loss = c + p Downside BEP = X2 - (c + p) Upside BEP = X1 + (c + p) t = 0 Total Buy a $75 call option at $4.5 -4.5 Buy a $70 put option at $3.25 -3.25 -7.75 * 100 = -$775 -7.75 (debit)
Max loss: 7.75 ⇒ Total = $775
Downside BEP = 70 - 7.75 = 62.25
Upside BEP = 75 + 7.75 = 82.75 lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115 IV. Butterfly
1. Long call butterfly spread Buy ⤓ call Sell 2 middle calls Buy ⤒ call (Neutral) Max gain = Strike # – debit Max loss = Debit
Downside BEP = Strike ⤓ + Debit
Upside BEP = Strike ⤒ – Debit t = 0 Total Buy 1 55 call at $6 -6 Sell 2 60 calls at $2.75 2.75*2 -1.5 * 100 = -$150 Buy 1 65 call at $1 -1 -1.5
Max gain = 5 – 1.5 = 3.5 ⇒ Total = $350
Max loss = 1.5 ⇒ Total = $150
Downside BEP = 55 + 1.5 = 56.5
Upside BEP = 65 – 1.5 = 63.5
2. Long put butterfly spread Buy ⤓ put Sell 2 middle puts lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115 Buy ⤒ put (Neutral) Max gain = Strike # – Debit Max loss = Debit

Max gain = 5 – 0.25 = 4.75 ⇒ Total = $475
Max loss = 0.25 ⇒ Total = $25
Downside BEP = 70 + 0.25 = 70.25
Upside BEP = 80 – 0.25 = 79.75 V. CONDOR 1. Long Call Condor Buy ↓ call Sell ↑ call Sell ↑ call Buy ↑ call (neutral)
