Commodity Options TradingYou probably won't be surprised to discover commodity options trading can be complicated, especially if you've traded options before. Since futures contracts are based on commodities, and futures are similar to options in all ways but one, it's no wonder that this type of trading causes many traders serious headaches. In order to become effective at commodity options trading, it's important to understand exactly what it is and how it can benefit you. A commodity option gives an individual the right to buy or sell an underlying futures contract for a set strike price by a certain point in the future. The option contract will always be set to expire before the futures contract does to avoid further complications or contradictions. The price paid for the option, or the premium, will depend on the relationship between the strike price and the futures price, the volatility of the futures and the expiration date of the option.
