In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Axsome Therapeutics

Analyzing Axsome Therapeutics' in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Axsome Therapeutics regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Axsome Therapeutics' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Axsome Therapeutics' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Axsome Therapeutics' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Axsome Therapeutics lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Axsome Therapeutics' value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Axsome Therapeutics contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if Axsome Stock moves the wrong way.

Axsome Therapeutics In The Money Call Balance

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