RealDay Options are delayed-strike options. While the idea is fairly simple, the implications are profound. Depending on how they are traded, these instruments can hedge precise close-to-close risk, implied volatility, realized volatility, and tail risk. RealDay Options are versatile, cost effective, and convenient.
