For example, when Fortinet's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on Fortinet, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting Fortinet stock over its option's life.

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Fortinet

Analyzing Fortinet's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Fortinet regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Fortinet's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Fortinet's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Fortinet's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

Fortinet In The Money Call Balance

When Fortinet's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Fortinet stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Fortinet's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Fortinet are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

Fortinet Current Options Market Mood

Fortinet's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Fortinet Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Rule 16 of the current Fortinet contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Fortinet will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0344% per day over the life of the 2026-01-16 option contract. With Fortinet trading at USD 86.19, that is roughly USD 0.0296. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Fortinet's daily price movement you should consider buying Fortinet options at the current volatility level of 0.55%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
Purchasing Fortinet options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Fortinet calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Fortinet stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
