65.7% Profit Potential for PYPL Option Now, since PYPL’s 100-Day EMA is above the 50-Day EMA this means the stock’s bearish decline will likely continue. Let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a PYPL put option purchase. The Put Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a put option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat PYPL price to a 12.5% decrease. The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following PYPL option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the PYPL option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don’t list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation. Trade with Higher Accuracy When you use the 1% Rule to select a PYPL in-the-money option strike price, PYPL stock only has to decrease 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money put option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if PYPL stock is flat at 93.61 at option expiration, it will only result in a 5.6% loss for the PYPL option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money put option. Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money put options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for PYPL on 3/7/2022 before commissions. When you purchase a put option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the put if the underlying stock continues to decline in price. For this specific put option, the calculator analysis below reveals if PYPL stock decreases 5.0% at option expiration to 88.93 (circled), the put option would make 30.0% before commission. If PYPL stock decreases 10.0% at option expiration to 84.25 (circled), the put option would make 65.7% before commission and greatly outperform the stock return. The leverage provided by put options allows you to maximize potential returns on bearish stocks. The Hughes Optioneering Team is here to help you identify winning trades just like this one.
