Basics of Options on Bund Futures

Abstract

Obviously, the best way to become familiar with trading options on Bund futures is to trade them. As happens in many fields, a book can serve as a useful guide to new concepts and later provide a perspective once experience has been gained — but there can be no substitute for the experience itself. I have written this, therefore, as a guidebook and not as a textbook, to assist and accompany the reader as he learns, applies and trades the financial products described hereafter. Additionally, I hope to help develop an understanding of the mechanics of how option trading works and thereby also help potential market traders anticipate and benefit from the experiences encountered in the actual market.
