Options payoffs

Tao of Trading classics

Intrinsic vs Extrinsic value

How much of the premium is real value (intrinsic) vs time/volatility decay (extrinsic). Extrinsic is what melts away as expiry approaches.

Intrinsic

% time premium

Long call

Buy a call. Max loss = the premium you paid. Profit grows uncapped above breakeven (strike + premium).

P/L at exit

Long put

Buy a put. Max loss = premium. Max profit = (strike − premium) × 100, capped at zero stock price.

Call debit spread (bull call spread)

Buy a lower-strike call, sell a higher-strike call. Caps the upside in exchange for a cheaper debit and a defined max loss.

Put debit spread (bear put spread)

Buy a higher-strike put, sell a lower-strike put. Defined-risk way to play a drop without paying for the full put premium.

Risk & position sizing

Trade what you can afford to lose

Position size — % risk per trade

Given your account size, the % you're willing to lose on this idea, your entry, and your stop — how many shares should you buy?

R-multiple — risk/reward read

"R" is your initial risk per share (entry − stop). Target gives you the R-multiple — anything < 2R is usually a pass.

Discounted cash flow (DCF)

Two-stage DCF: project free cash flow growing at the high-growth rate for N years, then a terminal value using the perpetual-growth rate. Divide by shares for fair value per share.

Calculators are educational tools — not trading advice. Real-world option prices include dealer skew, commissions, and assignment risk that these payoff charts ignore. Always conduct your own due diligence before placing any trade.
