What are the advantages and disadvantages of Kechuang 50ETF option?
1. Don’t worry about selling your stocks too early or too late.
To provide insurance for the underlying assets held by investors, when they hold spot stocks, they have already made book profits, but they are not optimistic about the market outlook at first. When they want to avoid the risk of loss caused by falling stock prices, they can buy put options as insurance without worrying about selling their spot stocks too early or too late.
The royalties paid by investors are equivalent to the premiums paid. By the same token, when we are uncertain about the market trend, we can buy call (call) options first to avoid the risk of stepping on the air, which is equivalent to protecting the cash in hand.
2. Reduce the cost of stock purchase.
We can sell put (put) options with lower exercise price and lock in a lower purchase price for the stock (that is, the exercise price is equal to or close to the price of the stock we want to buy). If the stock price is above the exercise price at the expiration date, the option will generally not be exercised, and we can earn the royalties from selling the option. If the stock price is lower than the exercise price on the expiration date and the option is exercised, we can buy the specified stock at the exercise price originally locked, and the actual cost is reduced due to the income from royalties.
3. Options can effectively master risk control.
The nonlinear characteristics of option risk-return theoretically ensure that the income of buying options is infinite but the risk is relatively limited. Although the winning rate of the buyer who makes options is low, it is also an indisputable fact that each loss is limited to the option fee.
4. Options can increase the potential income.
When doing fund management, we usually set positions based on losses. If the unit risk is relatively large, our positions will be reduced accordingly, which will reduce our potential income space. If we use options to realize this strategy, because the maximum loss is limited to the option fee, the positions can be opened more fully accordingly, and the potential income will be larger.
Advantages of kechuang 50ETF option trading:
1. Unique profit and loss structure Compared with investment tools such as stocks and futures, options are different in their nonlinear profit and loss structure.
For the long position of futures, the loss of the position will increase by one yuan every time the price rises by one yuan and the price falls by one yuan. For short positions in futures, the opposite is true.
2. Shortcomings and risks of option trading: In option trading, the rights and obligations of buyers and sellers are different, which makes buyers and sellers face different risk situations.
For option traders, both the buyer and the seller are faced with the risk of adverse changes in royalties. This is the same as futures, that is, within the scope of royalties, if you buy low but sell high, you can make a profit by closing your position. On the contrary, it is a loss.
