FTI Consulting Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-03-21 Option Contracts
Max pain occurs when FTI Consulting's market makers reach a net positive position across all FTI Consulting's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, FTI Consulting's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on FTI Consulting lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if FTI Consulting's 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 FTI Consulting 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 FTI Stock moves the wrong way.

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on FTI Consulting 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.
