Synopsis

After a brief review of option basics, this guide delves into the different trading strategies that can be used by processors, producers, and speculators. The book relies to a great extent on concrete examples, while de-emphasizing theory and mathematical models and numerous tried-and-tested techniques for trading agricultural options. Traders learn how to evaluate practical situations as well as how to manage positions held in the agricultural options market. Among the topics included are: how to build synthetic options; the differences between hedging and synthetic strategies; understanding price behaviour before expiration; volatility, the role of delta, gamma, theta, and vega on price movement; matching strategies with forecasts and the basics of argricultural options, including various spreads.
