Hello, mooers! Welcome to the Hedge with Options on moomoo series. Today we are going to talk about Options Price Calculator.
We often receive questions from mooers asking: “Is now a good time to buy this option?” or “Will the price suddenly tank after I buy it?”
Moomoo’s Options Price Calculator is here to help! It can be used to estimate the fair value of an option to determine if the current pricing is reasonable or not. From the tool, experienced mooers may even find some potential trading opportunities for individual stocks or options!
First, let’s take a look at what is an option’s price.
1. An option's price is primarily made up of two parts: intrinsic value and time value.
（1）Intrinsic value* is a measure of an option's profitability resulting from its immediate exercise.
*Intrinsic value is the value any given option would have if it were exercised today
If the current apple stock is US$151/share. The call options you bought will have intrinsic value if the strike price is less than US$151/share. It will not have any intrinsic value if the strike price is US$151/value and more.
（2）Time value is influenced by how much (or how little) time is remaining until an option's expiration.
It reflects the risk of an option’s market price volatility before the option's expiration. Typically, the more time remains until the option expires, the greater its time value.
Let’s take Apple's options as an example. From the following screenshots, we can see that if you want to buy two Apple options at a strike price of $147 on their expiration date, the time value of options that expire on Dec 16 is $4.1 higher than that on Nov 25.
