In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on ProShares Ultra
Analyzing ProShares Ultra's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in ProShares Ultra regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when ProShares Ultra's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money ProShares Ultra's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with ProShares Ultra's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on ProShares Ultra lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if ProShares Ultra'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 ProShares Ultra 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 ProShares Etf moves the wrong way.
