Market Price vs Theoretical Value
This section will let you do a quick comparison between the market price and theoretical value. As you can see, the market price is $4.25 vs a theoretical price of $4.47, implying a good buying opportunity.
To get the theoretical value, MarketChameleon.com analyzed historical stock behavior for XBI in similar circumstances and concluded that, given XBI historical stock price drift, the average end value of this spread would be $4.47. Using historical statistics as your guidance, the current market is at a $0.22 discount.
Theoretical Edge
Similar to a casino's statistical advantage over gamblers, trading is all about maximizing your edge. On this XBI trade you have a 5.2% edge, as displayed front and center in this section. After statistically calculating a $0.22 theoretical edge, MarketChameleon.com converts it to a percentage of the amount at risk ($4.25), so you can easily see the edge normalized.
In turn, this conformity will allow you to quickly and accurately compare various XBI trade cards. Think of it as running a casino and only taking bets from the gamblers you want. In technical terms, the theoretical percentage edge value tells you what the percentage discount/premium (to historical value) the current spread is priced.
Historical Win Rate
Here is the final piece of the puzzle for this XBI trade. You would like to know, if you did a similar trade in the past, how often did the stock do what it needed to in order for you to profit? Since the stock is already above your ideal price of 89.00, you have a cushion in the strategy. This means, the stock can decline by -3.0% and you'll still at least break even.
Marketchameleon.com runs a historical analysis based on years of XBI stock returns to calculate how often the stock price achieved this (applying similar circumstances). And as you can see on the trade card, the data simulation shows you that 81% of the time the stock price reached the point where this bull call spread would result in a profit.
