Analyzing 4D Molecular's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in 4D Molecular regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when 4D Molecular's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

4D Molecular Therapeutics In The Money Call Balance

When 4D Molecular's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against 4D Molecular Therapeutics stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying 4D Molecular'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 4D Molecular Therapeutics 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.
