Buying Options on Futures Contracts
Although futures contracts have been traded
on U.S. exchanges since 1865, options on
futures contracts were not introduced until
1982. Today, options on futures contracts offer a wide
and diverse range of potentially attractive investment
opportunities.
This booklet is designed to provide you with
a basic understanding of options on futures
contracts - what they are, how they work
and the opportunities and risks involved in
trading them.

CME Options on Futures: Basics
With options on futures, traders can construct strategies that
profit in advancing, declining or even stable markets,
while at the same time reducing risk and increasing
leverage. This booklet will introduce you to the basic terms
and strategic uses of options on futures. It covers
option pricing fundamentals, reading option prices,
calculating the break-even price, time value and intrinsic
value. It then goes on to discuss important concepts such as
the option delta, time value decay and margin for option sellers.
It illustrates some basic strategies involving the E-mini S&P 500 and
live cattle and then ends with a short, 16-question quiz - with answers provided - to see
how well you've learned the material.

Futures & Options Strategy Guide
With the many futures and options strategies available to the trader, it is

option-related strategies like butterfly spreads, ratio spreads and box/conversions
and describes when to use each strategy and the profit and loss characteristics.
Each illustration demonstrates the effect of time decay on the
total option premium involved in the position by showing value at 4 months prior to, one month
prior to and finally, at option expiration. This Guide is a great reference for any trader.
