What are Futures and Options & what would it mean to trade in Money Trade Coin Futures?
In finance, Futures & Options are two forms of derivative contracts. Derivative contracts, as the name suggests are financial products which derive its value from one or more underlying assets. Derivative, a common term used in finance, is a contract between two or more related parties, wherein an asset and its financial value are involved. Popular financial assets like Gold, Silver, Zinc, Copper, Crude Oil, Shares of a company etc are traditional by nature. These financial assets have a Derivative contract, either in the form of Futures or Options or both depending on the services being provided. Each of these Derivative products derives its value from the respective underlying asset.
Futures are financial contracts between a buyer & a seller that obligates the parties to the contract to buy/sell an underlying asset at a future date and price that is predetermined. Such contracts include the detail of quality and quantity of the underlying asset and trading of such futures is facilitated by a regulated exchange. Investors are allowed to take a long (buying) or a short (selling) position in futures market based on individual price predictions. At the expiry of such contracts, some are called for physical delivery of the underlying asset whereas others are settled by cash which takes into consideration the present market value of the asset. To simplify, here’s an example of how Money Trade Coin futures would ideally work.
Let’s say the current market price of MTCOIN futures is $8.68. There’s a buyer who bought 1000 MTCOIN futures at this rate. Now, at the expiry of this contract, if the value of MTCOIN, the underlying asset, shoots up by $15, the buyer of this futures contract will gain a handsome amount of: 1000 MTCOIN x ($15 – $8.68) = $6,320.
Similarly, a seller of the same contract at a similar rate would have lost $6,320. However, if the prices of MTCOIN were to fall, the seller would have gained some money and vice-a-versa.
Similarly, options, in derivative segment, is a contract that gives a right to the buyer of options to buy/sell an underlying asset on a particular date at a predetermined rate. However, the buyer of the options contract is not obligated to exercise his right at the expiry of the contract. In Options terminology, the right to buy is called a ‘Call Option’ and the right to sell is called ‘Put Option’. There are four ways in which an investor can trade in Options segment viz., Buying/Selling of Call Options and Buying/Selling of Put Options. A buyer of options is termed as ‘Buyer’ who pays the premium to purchase the right but is not obligated. A seller of options is termed as ‘Writer’ who receives the premium from the buyer and is obligated to buy/sell the underlying asset if the ‘Buyer’ exercises his right. There are various strategies wherein, a trader trades in options contract but to simplify, let’s take an example of a Plain Long Call:
A buyer has bought MTCOIN call at a strike price of $8.50 and paid a certain premium to the writer for purchasing such right. Now at the expiry of the Options contract, given the Buyer is in a bullish position, if the value of MTCOIN increases to let’s say $15, the Buyer will exercise his right and the Writer will be obligated to sell him MTCOIN at the rate of $8.50, giving the Buyer a profit of $6.50 (less the premium paid) per MTCOIN bought. However, if the value of MTCOIN declines below $8.50, the Buyer will not exercise his right to buy as it is available in the market at a cheaper rate. So the Buyer will only lose the premium amount that he had paid.
