CALENDAR OPTION SPREAD

The calendar spread refers to a family of spreads involving options of the same underlying stock, same strike prices, but different expiration months. They can be created with either all calls or all puts.  Also known as time spread or horizontal spread.

Call Calendar Spread

Using calls, the calendar spread strategy can be setup by buying long term calls and simultaneously writing an equal number of near-month at-the-money or slightly out-of-the-money calls of the same underlying security with the same strike price.

The idea behind the calendar spread is to sell time, which is why calendar spreads are also known as time spreads. The options trader hopes that price of the underlying remains unchanged at expiration of the near month options so that they expire worthless. As the time decay of near month options is at a faster rate than longer term options, his long term options still retain much of their value. The options trader can then either own the longer term calls for less or write some more calls and repeat the process....

TIME DECAY IN OPTION

The ratio of the change in an option's price to the decrease in time to expiration. Since options are wasting assets, their value declines over time. As an option approaches its expiry date without being in the money, its time value declines because the probability of that option being profitable is reduced. Time decay is a crucial component traders consider when deciding when/where to buy sell options.....

A swing of 8-10% on the result day is normal for the stock.The ‘long strangle’ option strategy (buying an out of the money call and similar number of out of the money puts) is something that most option traders practices on Infosys’ result day. The build of position in the stock is the main reason for the stock movement.
 

This quarter the ‘calls’ have won. Infosys surprised the market by announcing better than expected numbers resulting in the stock shooting over 11%. However, the devil is in the details. While the market has reacted sharply to the numbers, it is the consistency of these numbers that is key for the long term revival of sentiments in the stock....
