Day trading An option to buy a stock is priced at $200.
If the stock closes above 30 on May 15, the option will
be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be

worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30 (inclu-
sively), the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks

there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the
20–30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30,
and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20 on May 15.
