    In some answers, I got confused on Option premium calculation:
    Eg: We have option on 3-month futures, Euro 1 mil contract size, tick size 0.01%, tick value Euro 25. Option premiums are in annual %:
    Say, we buy calls option with premium = 0.032 / No. of contract = 50

    => Book’s Answer: 3.2 x 25 x 50 = 4000 (=> kind of a short answer and I dont know where it is from)

    I thought: 0.032% x (1mil x 3/12) x 50 = 4000

    Though these 2 answers is the same but whether the most popular method for calculating is:

    No. of Contract x Contract size x Opt.premiums % x Month-fraction?

    It depends whether you prefer to use ticks or not. As you will know from my lectures, I never bother with ticks – there is no need.

    Which way you show the workings in the exam does not matter 🙂
