Three Indications Of Unusual Options Activity
期權活動異常的三個跡象
One way options market activity can be considered unusual is when volume is exceptionally higher than its historical average. The volume of options activity refers to the number of contracts traded over a given time period. The number of contracts that have been traded, but not yet closed by either counterparty, is called open interest. A contract cannot be considered closed until there exists both a buyer and seller for it.
期權市場活動可以被認為不尋常的一種方式是,當成交量異常高於其歷史平均水平時。期權交易量指的是在給定時間段內交易的合約數量。已交易但尚未由任何一方成交的合約數量稱為未平倉權益。在買方和賣方都存在之前,合同不能被認為是結束的。
The trading of a contract with an expiration date in the distant future is another sign of unusual activity. Generally, additional time until a contract expires increases the potential for it to reach its strike price and grow its time value. Time value is important in this context because it represents the difference between the strike price and the value of the underlying asset.
交易一份到期日在遙遠未來的合約,是另一個異常活動的跡象。一般來説,合同到期前的額外時間會增加合同達到執行價並增加時間價值的可能性。在這種情況下,時間價值很重要,因為它代表了執行價格和標的資產價值之間的差額。
"Out of the money" contracts are unusual because they are purchased with a strike price far from the underlying asset price. "Out of the money" occurs when the underlying price is under the strike price on a call option, or above the strike price on a put option. Buyers and sellers try to take advantage of a large profit margin in these instances because they are expecting the value of the underlying asset to change dramatically in the future.
“現金流”合約是不尋常的,因為它們是以遠離標的資產價格的執行價購買的。當標的價格低於看漲期權的執行價或高於看跌期權的執行價時,就會發生“脱手”。在這些情況下,買家和賣家試圖利用巨大的利潤率,因為他們預計標的資產的價值在未來會發生巨大變化。
Understanding Sentiment
瞭解情感
Options are "bullish" when a call is purchased at/near ask price or a put is sold at/near bid price. Options are "bearish" when a call is sold at/near bid price or a put is bought at/near ask price.
當看漲期權以賣出價/接近賣出價買入,或看跌期權以/接近買入價賣出時,期權就是“看漲”的。當看漲期權以接近買入價的價格賣出,或看跌期權以接近賣出價的價格買入時,期權就是“看跌”的。
Although the activity is suggestive of these strategies, these observations are made without knowing the investor's true intentions when purchasing these options contracts. An observer cannot be sure if the bettor is playing the contract outright or if they're hedging a large underlying position in a common stock. For the latter case, the exposure a large investor has on their short position in common stock may be more meaningful than bullish options activity.
雖然這一活動暗示了這些策略,但這些觀察是在不知道投資者購買這些期權合約時的真實意圖的情況下進行的。觀察者不能確定投機者是在直接玩合約,還是在對衝普通股的大量基礎頭寸。對於後一種情況,大型投資者對其普通股空頭頭寸的敞口可能比看漲期權活動更有意義。
Trading Options With These Strategies
使用這些策略進行期權交易
Unusual options activity is an advantageous strategy that may greatly reward an investor if they are highly skilled, but for the less experienced trader, it should remain as another tool to make an educated investment decision while taking other observations into account.
不尋常的期權活動是一種有利的策略,如果投資者的技能很高,他們可能會獲得巨大的回報,但對於經驗較少的交易員來説,它應該仍然是另一種工具,可以在考慮其他觀察的同時做出明智的投資決策。
