It shows all of Amazon's listed puts, calls, expiration dates, strike prices, and other pricing information.

Open Interest Against 2024-04-19 Option Contracts

Amazon option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in Amazon's lending market. For example, when Amazon's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on Amazon, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting Amazon stock over its option's life.
The chart above shows Amazon's distribution of open interest by maturity on contracts that have not yet been settled. The area between the two highest points is the projection of the price at expiration. Amazon's open interest chart also provides vital information regarding the liquidity of an option. If there is no open interest for Amazon's option, there is no secondary market available for investors to trade.

Amazon Maximum Pain Price across 2024-04-19 Option Contracts

Max pain usually refers to a trading concept that asserts that market manipulation can cause the market price of particular securities such as Amazon close to expiration to expire worthless. According to most research, approximately 10% to 15% of all stock options are exercised, while about 35% expire worthlessly, with roughly 50% traded out before the expiration date. So, Max pain occurs when market makers reach a net positive position across all options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Amazon's stock options are financial instruments that give investors the right to buy or sell shares of Amazon Inc common stock at a specified price for a given time period. Generally speaking, an option to purchase or sell Amazon stock makes it part of the underlying stock when the option's price is tied to the movement of the underlying stock. If Amazon's stock price goes up or down, the stock options follow.

Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Amazon lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Amazon's value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Amazon contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if Amazon Stock moves the wrong way.

Amazon Inc In The Money Call Balance

When Amazon's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Amazon Inc stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Amazon's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Amazon Inc are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

Amazon Current Options Market Mood

Amazon's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Amazon Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Put-to-Call Open Interest

Put-to-Call Volume

Most options investors, including buyers and sellers of Amazon's calls and puts, are not very successful. It is estimated that an average options trader loses somewhere between 80% to 90% of the time. Amazon's option open interest and volume spread between outstanding puts and calls are regarded by many investors as reliable indicators of the overall future market direction. Using current Amazon's option volume and open interest to make an investment decision is considered a contrarian-sentiment measure that can be utilized in many timing strategies in both derivative and spot marketplace.

Rule 16 of the current Amazon contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Amazon Inc will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 2.51% per day over the life of the 2024-04-19 option contract. With Amazon trading at USD 183.62, that is roughly USD 4.6. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Amazon's daily price movement you should consider buying Amazon Inc options at the current volatility level of 40.13%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Amazon options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Amazon calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Amazon Inc stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

Amazon Option Chain

When Amazon's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Amazon Inc stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying options that are ITM or OTM, the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.

Amazon Corporate Directors

Amazon corporate directors refer to members of an Amazon board of directors. The board of directors generally takes responsibility for the Amazon's affairs and long-term direction of the entity. A corporate director does not make decisions for the corporation on his own. As a member of the board of directors, she or he must function as a part of a group that makes decisions on behalf of the business only by the board of directors' meetings. To pass a resolution, a majority of Amazon's board members must vote for the resolution. The Amazon board of directors' duties also include the election, removal, and supervision of officers, including the adoption, amendment, and repeal of bylaws.
