When trading options, one of the factors you must understand is the volatility of the underlying investment. One of the methods by which options are typically valued is the Black-Scholes formula, first developed in 1973. An analysis of the Black-Scholes formula reveals that the value of options is related to the amount of volatility the underlying asset has experienced over time.
Unfortunately for most casual investors, the Black-Scholes formula requires solving a partial-differential equation akin to those found in thermodynamics. Due to the complexity, you may be tempted to skip the valuation process when deciding whether or not to engage in options trading. If you fail to account for volatility in a formal manner, however, you may end up making poor investment decisions.

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options can be substantial. Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial position to determine if futures trading is appropriate. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose the full balance of your account. It is also possible to lose more than your initial deposit when trading futures and/or granting/writing options. As a result, selling/writing "uncovered" options exposes the seller/writer to the possibility of margin calls and virtually unlimited risk. All funds committed should be purely risk capital. Past performance is no guarantee of future trading results.
