Trading context

Why it matters

It determines whether an option is profitable to exercise at expiry. Advanced traders often rely on distinctions like this to fine-tune strategies that would otherwise look identical on the surface to less experienced eyes.

How traders may see it

Set relative to the current spot price when the option is purchased. Most traders come across this while reviewing charts, monitoring news feeds, or checking their account dashboard, and being able to spot it quickly is a useful practical skill.
