The leverage of options is different from that of futures. At present, the highest leverage of futures is treasury bond futures, which is about 30 times leverage. However, its high leverage is achieved through low margin, and its price itself fluctuates very little.
The high leverage of options is realized through lower royalties, and the price itself fluctuates greatly, sometimes the fluctuation range will reach five or six times or even higher every day, and there are relatively many short-term space opportunities.
Option leverage is dynamic. Generally speaking, the more real the option is, the smaller the leverage is and the more virtual the leverage is.
As the expiration date approaches, the leverage will gradually increase, and the options approaching maturity have ultra-high leverage; For the seller, the leverage effect will be greatly reduced by paying a large amount of margin. Generally, the maximum leverage will not exceed twice that of futures.
On the other hand, although they are all leveraged products, for options, they have their own stop-loss characteristics, and the buyer will only lose the royalties at most, and will not produce greater losses. If the futures losses are large, additional margin is needed, otherwise there will be a risk of short positions.
