Casper

Co-founder, CaymanBot

Casper has been investing since 2014 and building market-analysis tooling since 2021. It started with analysing what traders were discussing on Reddit, moved into Discord bots that automate alerts and trade tracking, and grew into backtesting trading strategies against historical data before putting money behind them.

He is one of the co-founders of CaymanBot, where that tooling became the product: options flow, paper trading and Strategy Lab, built so people learning options can test ideas without risking real money.

  1. Why does an option worth $0, if exercised today, still cost $3.80?

    An out-of-the-money option has no intrinsic value, so its whole price is time value: what the market pays for the chance of a move before expiry.

  2. Why can a call option expire worthless even if the stock goes up 7%?

    A call has value at expiry only above its strike and covers its cost only above break-even, so a 7% rise can still leave it at zero.
