What Is an Option Contract?

A put option reserve a right to the trader, but not a compulsion to sell a stock at a specific price(strike price) over a period of time

The price of the share dividend fluctuates on the basis of market trends. You need to use the option price calculator to decide about the call or put the option of the shares.

Terminologies used in Option Strategy:

There are various terms used in the option strategy that is essential to understand for a profitable stock transaction.

Share Price:

The share price is the price of one share of all the saleable equity shares of the company. The share prices actually fluctuate over a period of time due to changing market conditions. The share price of a company varies on the basis of the performance of the company. Companies do define their share price on the basis of Base Point.

Strike Price:

The strike price is the price of the share at which the buyers and seller mutually agreed to trade an option. The strike price may be more or less than the market price of the share. It is critical to identify the strike price while trading the shares. It is best to use the options profit loss calculator before estimating the strike price of a particular share. 

Option Price:

The option price is the premiums and it is the difference between the current share price and strike price. To find an optimal intrinsic value of the option use the stock options calculator to identify the profit/loss in the share transaction.

The Number of Contracts:

One option trade is called a contract and each option represents 100 shares of the underlying stock. Estimating the number of the contract once to be traded should be calculated by the options profit calculator.

How to Compute the Options Profit?

Suppose the Share price of the XYZ trading company is $50 and the option price is $1. You are aiming to purchase the 5 contracts of the call option (each contract is 100 shares). The strike price is around $60 and the share price has risen to $70 since you purchased the shares. The profit margin can be calculated as:

Solution 

The total cost = (option processed) (Number of contracts)

The total cost = ($1) (500) = $500

Current stock value = (500) ($70)

Current stock value = $35000

Strike Price = 500 x $60

Strike Price = $30,000

Option Profits = Strike Price –Current stock value – Cost = 30000-35000 – 500

Option Profits  = $-5500
