Listed contracts and option premium

Futures and options used to share this address. They are different contracts, so each now has its own course. This page stays so older links still land somewhere useful.

What stayed here

The hypothetical notional exercise is still on this page. A price times a multiplier is notional. The cash posted as margin can be smaller, and that smaller number is not the most the position can lose.

Hypothetical contract notional

Type a price and the contract multiplier from the specification you are reading. The page multiplies them. It does not store an official multiplier.

If this browser already marked steps on the old combined list, those marks stay in local storage. They are not copied onto the new lessons, because the new lessons are longer and are not the same steps. Resetting one new course does not clear the other, and it does not delete the old marks.
