The Call Option Purchase calculator will calculate the profit potential for a call option
purchase trade based on the price change in the underlying stock/ETF at option
expiration in this example from a 12.5% change in stock price to a flat stock price.
We developed what we call the 1% Rule to help us select an option strike price. The 1%
rule says to limit the time value portion of the option to less than 1% of the stock/ETF
price. If you limit the time value portion of an option to 1%, the stock price only
has to move 1% for the option contract to break even and start profiting.
The calculator will also calculate the time value portion of an option. With this option
purchase, the time value is 0.14 points (boxed in red). The time value of .14 is less
than 1% of the 17.61 stock price, so this strike price qualifies under the 1% Rule.
The second row from
bottom of the calculator
Buy to Open the INFY Oct 20 16-Strike Call lists the dollar profit
potential. The bottom row
lists the percent return
profit potential. We can see
that if the INFY stock price
increases 1% at option
expiration (boxed in green)
a 2.1% or $4 profit will be
realized. This confirms the
1% Rule of at least breaking
even or profiting with only
a 1% increase in the stock
price.
There is no limit on the Buy to Open the INFY Oct 20 16-Strike Call
profit potential of a Call
Option purchase if the
underlying stock •
continues to increase in
price. If INFY increases
10% between now and
option expiration, the Call
Option Purchase
Calculator shows that the
16-strike call will realize a
92.6% or $162 profit
(boxed in green).
On the other hand, if INFY remains flat at option expiration, the 16-Strike Call will only
lose -8% or -$14. Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money
option and the underlying stock/ETF is flat or down at option expiration, it could
result a 100% loss for your option trade! Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike
price can increase your percentage of winning trades compared to trading at-the-
money or out-of-the- money strikes and this higher accuracy can make you a more
successful trader.
We recommend buying the INFY Oct 20 16-Strike Call at the current price level.
NVDA
The next profit opportunity we will review is in NVDA, or NVIDIA Corporation. NVDA
is a worldwide leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the graphic
