Key Participants in the Options Market
The options market has a mix of participants:
Hedgers: Protect themselves from risks (institutions, exporters, investors).
Speculators: Try to profit from price moves (retail & professional traders).
Arbitrageurs: Exploit price inefficiencies between cash and derivatives.
Institutions & Banks: Use options for structured products and risk management.
How Options are Priced
Options are more complex than stocks because they have two value components:
Intrinsic Value = Difference between spot price and strike price (if profitable).
Time Value = Extra premium traders pay for the possibility of future moves.
The pricing is influenced by The Greeks:
Delta: Sensitivity of option price to underlying asset moves.
Theta: Time decay (options lose value as expiry nears).
Vega: Impact of volatility on option price.
Gamma: Rate of change of delta.
Understanding Greeks is essential for advanced option strategies.
