FUTU HK Help Center-Market value and P/L of Hong Kong stock options

Market value and P/L of Hong Kong stock options

1. Option settlement price

Due to inactive trading, there may be situations where the price of the underlying stock changes during the trading session, but the price of the option remains unchanged.

After the close of trading, HKEx will provide the official settlement price for reference. You can click here to check the settlement status of each option (the information is usually released after 20:30 on the trading day).

2. Common questions

2.1 Why is there such a big difference between the market value of my stock options and the market value of my position after yesterday's close?

Before trading day (08:55 a.m.), we will update your option value with yesterday's settlement price published by HKEx.

After the market opens, if there is any transaction, the latest traded price will be used to calculate the market value of the option; if there is no transaction, the market value of the option will remain at the same price until the next trading day when it will be updated again to the new settlement price of HKEx.

Whether you refer to the most recent traded price or yesterday's settlement price, the market price used to calculate the market value of the option is a reference value that reflects the value of the option and does not change the size of your option position, nor does it affect your assets or trading.

It can reflect the true value of options that have not been traded for a long period of time, allowing investors to avoid making wrong investment decisions due to large deviations from the market price and true value.

2.2 I use the net assets I saw after the close of trading yesterday to plus today's P/L of the account. Why is the sum not equal to the current total assets?

If you hold options on Hong Kong shares, the problem could be caused by the inconsistency of the reference benchmark and does not affect your actual assets.

(1) In calculating today's P/L for options, yesterday's market value in the formula uses the published option settlement price.

(2) And it was calculated using the closing price from yesterday's close to this morning's open.

"Leaving the Group - Raising Taxes - Tweeting: The 'Money Making Strategy' of the Most Wild Gemini in Contemporary Times"

It's said that Trump is a walking drama machine, raising tariffs today and praising China tomorrow, making stock investors feel like they are on a roller coaster every day. But if you have seen hisThe Art of Trade, and then take another look at hisGemini horoscope—Wow! This guy's approach is simply the business version of "Empresses in the Palace", with every step marked by the four big characters "I want to make money".
The main core strategy in the book "The Art of Trade" is the combination of business thinking and the art of gaming.
Its core logic can be summarized into the following five dimensions:
1. The underlying logic of "creating momentum" and "the combination of reality and illusion".
The book emphasizes "always let the other party make the first offer" and "exaggerate demand to gain leverage."This strategy is often seen in tariff policies and trade negotiations.
[Example]
By imposing tariffs on various countries to create pressure, opponents are forced to the negotiation table, and then an agreement is reached through phased concessions.
II. Practical Application of the "Big Negotiation" Strategy
First, he scared everyone quite a bit, and then he gave a little reward.Imagine you are bargaining in a vegetable market, and Trump's approach is to first raise a loudspeaker and shout: "This pile of cabbage must be sold to me for 100 yuan today!" When the vendor is stunned, he suddenly rubs his hands and says: "But seeing that you are not having an easy time, let's settle for 80 yuan~"
[Example]
1. In 2018, tariffs were imposed on CN commodities, turning the global stock market into a green wilderness. Just when everyone was about to collapse, he suddenly signed a first-phase agreement and triumphantly tweeted: "No one understands deals better than I do!"
