107.9% Profit Potential for UL Option Since UL's share price is currently below the upper Keltner Channel, this provides a lowered risk entry point for purchasing a UL call option. Let's use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a UL call option purchase. The Call Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat UL price to a 12.5% increase. The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following UL option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the UL option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don't list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation.
Trade with Higher Accuracy When you use the 1% Rule to select a UL in-the-money option strike price, UL stock only has to increase 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if UL stock is flat at 62.76 at option expiration, it will only result in a 5.2% loss for the UL option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option. Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price will result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money call options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for UL on 10/16/2020 before commissions. When you purchase a call option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the call if the underlying stock continues to move up in price. For this specific call option, the calculator analysis below reveals if UL stock increases 5.0% at option expiration to 65.90 (circled), the call option would make 51.3% before commission. If UL stock increases 10.0% at option expiration to 69.04 (circled), the call option would make 107.9% before commission and outperform the stock return nearly 11 to 1. The leverage provided by call options allows you to maximize potential returns on bullish stocks. The Hughes Optioneering Team is here to help you identify winning trades just like this one.
