 Strike price - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where the contract requires delivery of the underlying instrument, the trade will be at the strike price, regardless of the spot price (market price) of the underlying at that time.
Where settlement is financial, the difference between the strike price and the spot price will determine the value, or "Moneyness", of the contract.
A put option has positive monetary value when the underlying has a spot price below the strike price; it is "out-the-money" otherwise, and will not be exercised.
