In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Equinor ASA

Equinor ASA ADR In The Money Call Balance

When Equinor ASA's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Equinor ASA ADR stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Equinor ASA'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 Equinor ASA ADR 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.

These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Rule 16 of the current Equinor contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Equinor ASA ADR will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0244% per day over the life of the 2025-04-17 option contract. With Equinor ASA trading at USD 23.9, that is roughly USD 0.005826. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Equinor ASA's daily price movement you should consider buying Equinor ASA ADR options at the current volatility level of 0.39%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Equinor ASA options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Equinor calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Equinor ASA ADR stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
