 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

 Investors can potentially earn huge profits by trading assets  Many investors trade on speculation and attempt to predict the market  Options allow investors to trade with greater leverage

 Option Contract – A conditional futures contract to trade an asset at a given price and date. Option buyer gets right to exercise contract.  Positions – Long (buyer) and short (seller)  Expiration date –date underlying assets are traded  Strike price – Price the commodities are traded  Premium – Option price

 Two general types: call (right to buy) and put (right to sell)  American and European  Short Strangle Strategy:  Simultaneously selling a call and a put with the same expiration date  Typically call strike price > commodity price and put strike price is < commodity price

 Call: Commodity price less than strike price  Put: Commodity price greater than strike price

 Stop Loss – Maximum amount seller is willing to lose. Executed by buying back the same option

Volatility smile results from variation in implied volatility among options that vary only on premium value.

 This project is a continuation of Fall 2009 project  Estimated premiums using Black-Scholes model  Estimated return using strike prices, stop-loss, and days before expiration as input

 Previous group used fixed implied volatility. Due to volatility smile, this results in inaccurate premiums.  Tradeoffs between profits and risk of ruin need to be balanced using a equity allocation and risk management methods.  No easily accessible tools to quickly assess strangle strategy performance.

 To provide policy recommendations for the option sellers to balance profit and risk of loss using historical data  To determine the optimal fraction for investment with associated risk of ruin  To develop a graphical user interface to provide useful information investors can act on.

 Our model and tools can aid fund managers to quickly assimilate information about the current options market conditions  We provide a software tool to display equity curves over a specified period of time. Our tool also shows payoffs from fractional investment allocations to match returns and risk of ruin to customer demand

 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

Range of data: Underlying asset is S&P 500 future index Short strangle strategies only Call strike prices +5 to +50 Put strike prices -5 to -50 Stop loss from 5 to 45 and without limit Maximum acceptable volatility at 30, 40, 50 and without limit

 Strategies missing more than 50% of data points (months) are ignored  Only have closing price data so trade after market  Our trades do not affect the market  Do not simulate trading slippage (always a willing trade partner)  Do not consider interest rate or inflation (time value of money)

 Provide recommendations on investment strategies  recommendations are based on expected return on investment and risk of ruin  Provide a range of optimal strategies that trade off risk and return according to investors’ risk tolerances

 Develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to display results, statistics, and visual representation of selected strategies  Take filtering criteria from users in the model interface  Plot the return (equity curve) for various fractional allocations of capital

 Research relevant papers and previous work  Parse and organize the historical data  Develop the trading model  Validate model & analyze results  Determine optimal strategies  Develop graphical user interface

 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

 Fractional Investment: choosing investment size by fraction of equity  Optimal f: fractional investment which brings the highest return  Relevant research:  Kelly Formula  Vince Formula

Initialization Evaluate all strategies and fractions Decide the investment amount Decide the number of contracts Calculate the investment amount for next trade Select the best TWR and the corresponding fraction in the array

 Definition: Ruin is the state of losing a significant portion (often set at 50%) of your original equity  Futures Formula: Where ▪ a = mean rate of return ▪ d = standard deviation of the rate ▪ z = how we define ruin. Here is 50%.

 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

GUI Application Optimization Model Days before expiration Put & Call strike prices Stop loss Maximum volatility Average return Final TWR Maximum Draw-Down Optimal Fraction Risk of Ruin

 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

Day 44 Before ExpirationDay 42 Before Expiration Better strategies lie around call = +5 and put = -15

Number of Strategies No Max. Vix Total Number Of Strategies = Max. Vix = 30 Total number of Strategies = Max. Vix = 50 Total number Of Strategies = 34000

 Optimal Strategy: ▪ Call Price = +5 ▪ Put Price = -15 ▪ Stop-loss = 20 ▪ Days before expiration = 42 ▪ Fraction allocation = 100%  Strategy Output: ▪ Final TWR = 711 ▪ Risk of ruin = 0% ▪ Average monthly return = 16% ▪ Percent winning trades = 88% ▪ Maximum draw-down = 15%  Methodology: ▪ Vary parameters of the optimal strategy one at a time

 Background & Problem Statement  Project Scope  Requirements  Assumptions  Approach  Methodology  Modeling  Analysis  Evaluation & Recommendations  Conclusion & Future Work

 Days provide the highest return  Stop-loss amounts of were most common in the top strategies  Continuing to trade in high volatility market resulted in higher final return

 Manageable higher stop-loss values should be chosen rather than low stop-loss values which can be difficult to implement in a volatile market.  Fractional investment allocation should also be less than 100% to avoid ruin because the market is constantly moving and therefore the future is still uncertain.

 It would not be necessarily accurate to use our exact optimal strategies in the future since it may only remain optimal for a short period of time  A continuously weighted forecasting model with current data should be used to update optimal strategies

 Expansion of scope to analyze more complex strategies to yield higher profits  Obtaining a more complete and suitable data set especially for earlier years to find better patterns for forecasting the future  Addition of adaptive logic so that optimal strategies are calculated using only a portion of data
