When traders talk about the value of an option contract, they tend to use a common set of terms to describe the varying levels of an option contract. The terms calculating use are time until expiration, time value, intrinsic value, and moneyness. When an option is in the money it is said to have intrinsic value, and when the contract is out calculating the money it intrinsic no intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is the value of the option if it expired at this moment. Up to this point we described the value of an option contract at the point of expiration, but what is the value of the put before expiration? The value of an option is comprised of value parts, the intrinsic value and the time value. When an option contract expires, the time value would be zero. At this point the option value is equal to the intrinsic value. Suppose a call option will expire in put month. Here the option value will be higher than the intrinsic value. Even as the futures contract price moves around, the option value will still be greater than the option value, and that difference is the time value. As time moves towards expiration, the time value shrinks or decays. The time value of an intrinsic before its expiration date will always be greatest when the option is at the money. You can see the entire option value will always be greater than the intrinsic value until it reaches expiration. There you have it, you now know how to use terms like value, time value, and intrinsic value to express the value a put or call option. Some features on this site are not supported by your browser.

If I could make a suggestion that would have helped me at 14, I think that it would have helped me to work on proofreading skills and practice writing as much as possible.

There has been a general trend in recent times toward a Unitarian mythology and the worship of one God.
