2. Execution price

Other things being equal, the higher the exercise price of the call option, the smaller the value of the option; The higher the strike price of the put option, the greater the value of the option.

3. Maturity

For American options, whether put options or call options, the longer the maturity time, the higher the maturity value of options.

Extended data

The value of options mainly consists of the following two kinds of values:

Option value = embedded value+time value.

embeded value

The connotative value of option refers to the part of the option price that reflects the relationship between the final option price and the current futures price. As far as long options are concerned, its connotation value is the value that the current futures price is higher than the option transaction price.

trend of the times

The time value of option refers to the time value of option.

The time value of options not only reflects the time risk during option trading, but also reflects the risk of market price changes.
