In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Foreign Trade

Foreign Trade Bank In The Money Call Balance

When Foreign Trade's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Foreign Trade Bank stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Foreign Trade's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Foreign Trade Bank are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.
