If
the Deutsche Mark were to remain neutral with stable volatility, we would
sell off the 400 futures contracts as well as 400 more-out-of-the-money
calls and puts. This position allows us to profit off stability.
The position is within loss limits of 1.28 standard deviations. Maximum
profit is $250,000, well within stable volatility range. Loss at
lower end equals $462,500, higher end equals $500,000. Lower and
higher end margins are 1.7% and 1.8%, respectively.
