To answer this question, we must first have a simple understanding of options.
Understand options with one picture
An option is an option, which is the right to buy or sell a specific commodity at a specific price at a specific time in the future.
There are many options strategies, such as collar options, seagull options, bull spread bear spread options, etc., most of these seemingly complex and obscure options are essentially composed of a combination of very common single strategies.Single strategies can be bullish or bearish, and mainly include: buying call options, buying put options, selling call options, and selling put options.
Combined with the following sketch, let’s briefly analyze the four single strategies and their risks and benefits. Among them, the horizontal axis is the price of the underlying, the vertical axis is the income, A is the exercise price, and P is the premium. Taking buying call options as an example, if Zhang San buys a BTC call option with an exercise price of A for a premium P, it means that Zhang San has the right to buy BTC at a price of A on the date.
If the price of BTC is greater than A on the expiration date, then theoretically you can earn as much as BTC rises, and the income is unlimited. But in fact, considering that the premium P is the cost, that is, when the BTC price is greater than A+P on the expiration date, the profit can start. But no matter how much it rises, Zhang San will still make money by buying BTC at price A, so he can exercise his right. If the BTC price is less than A on the expiration date, then theoretically you will lose as much as the BTC falls, and the loss will be unlimited. However, Zhang San can give up the right to buy BTC at price A, that is, he only needs to lose the premium P, and the loss is limited. The same applies to others.
The bottom layer of OKX Income Hunter is a product built based on selling options.As can be seen from the above figure, the selling type options under the single strategy include selling calls and selling puts. Selling calls means that if the price of BTC rises, you will lose money, but if it does not rise, you will earn premium P. ; Selling bearish means that if the price of BTC falls, you will lose money, but if the price does not fall, you will earn premium P.
Although selling type options has a high probability of earning premium P,However, the premium P (option price) of an option is determined by multiple factors such as the underlying asset price, exercise price, underlying asset price volatility, remaining time, interest rate, etc.These factors can affect the value and trading price of an option. Take the price volatility of the underlying asset as an example. According to the characteristics of options with limited losses and unlimited returns, if the underlying price fluctuates more violently, the returns will be higher if the direction is correct, and the returns are controllable if the direction is wrong. Therefore, the higher the volatility, the greater the value. .
There are many option strategies on the market currently. Through diversified combinations and calculations, they can be applied to various market conditions and even make profits on the premise of guaranteed capital. This is why OKX Yield Hunter is a non-capital-guaranteed trading product that helps users obtain higher annualized returns.
