We start by clearly restating the scenario and what needs to be tracked for both the Buyer and the Seller. - Each futures contract on ABC has an underlying asset of 100 shares of ABC. - The investor buys one futures contract with a settlement date 4 months ahead at a price of 5.65 per share (the reference price at purchase day N is 5.70, which affects P&L as the price moves). - Initial margin (deposit) required is 500 and the maintenance margin is 400. This means the trader must maintain at least 400 in the margin account; if the balance falls below this, a margin call would be triggered (not specified here, but the concept is key). - We track, for each day, the change in the contract value due to the change in the reference price, and how this affects the buyer’s and the seller’s margin accounts. A long futures position gains when the reference price increases and loses when it decreases, relative to the purchase price. Option-by-option analysis approach (without presuming the exact listed options): - For any day ......Login to view full explanation
