Key Formula
Core Calculation
Where:
- M = Required Point Move
- Desired Gain = Target profit in USD
- PPP = Payout per Point (from contract audit)
For Put Options: The market must move DOWN by M points.
For Call Options: The market must move UP by M points.
Calculating Desired Gain
Examples:
- 25% Gain: 0.25 × $10 = $2.50
- 50% Gain: 0.50 × $10 = $5.00
- 100% Gain (Double): 1.00 × $10 = $10.00
- 200% Gain (Triple): 2.00 × $10 = $20.00
Calculation Examples
Assumptions for these examples:
- Initial Stake (S) = $10.00
- Payout per Point (PPP) = 0.142597 USD
- Option Type: Put (requires downward movement; for Call, reverse direction)
1. 25% Gain ($2.50 profit)
2. 50% Gain ($5.00 profit)
3. Double Capital - 100% Gain ($10.00 profit)
4. Triple Capital - 200% Gain ($20.00 profit)
5. 300% Gain ($30.00 profit)
⚠️ Important: These examples use a specific PPP value (0.142597). Your actual contract may have a different PPP value. Always use the PPP from YOUR specific contract audit section!
How to Use This Guide
-
Locate Your Contract Details
Open your trading platform and navigate to your contract. Look for the "Reference ID" or "Contract Audit" section.
-
Find the Payout per Point (PPP)
In the contract audit section, locate the "Payout per point" value. This is a crucial number that varies for each contract based on strike price, entry spot, and time to expiration.
-
Determine Your Initial Stake
Note the amount you invested in the contract (e.g., $10.00).
-
Calculate Desired Gain
Decide what percentage gain you're targeting and convert it to USD by multiplying your stake by the gain percentage.
-
Apply the Formula
Use the calculator on this page or manually calculate: M = Desired Gain / PPP
-
Monitor the Market
For your selected option type, watch for the market to move in the required direction by M points. You can exit early to realize gains, but be aware of time decay and slippage.
Set price alerts on your trading platform at key levels to notify you when the market reaches your target movement!
Important Notes & Considerations
🔑 Payout per Point (PPP)
CRITICAL: The PPP value is essential and varies per contract. It depends on:
- Strike price
- Entry spot price
- Time to expiration
- Contract specifications
Without the correct PPP, your calculations will be inaccurate. Always obtain this from your specific contract audit section.
⏰ Time Value Decay
This calculation method assumes gains come primarily from intrinsic value changes. However, options have time value that decays as expiration approaches:
- Short-term trades: Time decay has minimal impact
- Long-term options: Time value decay can significantly affect results
- The closer to expiration, the faster time value erodes
📈 Market Conditions
The Volatility 100 Index characteristics:
- Highly volatile synthetic index
- Can experience rapid price movements
- Large point moves may not always be feasible within contract duration
- Monitor market conditions and volatility closely
💰 Early Exit Strategy
You don't have to wait until expiration:
- Sell the contract early when market moves in your favor
- Lock in profits before expiration
- Be aware of potential slippage (difference between expected and actual price)
- Consider bid-ask spreads when exiting
⚠️ Risk Management
Remember:
- Options can expire worthless if the market doesn't move as anticipated
- You can lose your entire initial stake
- Never invest more than you can afford to lose
- Use proper position sizing and risk management
- Consider setting stop-loss levels
📊 Calculation Accuracy
This guide provides reasonable approximations, but actual results may vary due to:
- Market liquidity
- Bid-ask spreads
- Platform execution speeds
- Underlying market volatility changes
- Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega)
