In-the-money option

    0.02 sec.
In-the-money option
An option that has value.

In-the-money option
1. A call option with a strike price less than the value of the underlying asset.

2. A put option with a strike price more than the value of the underlying asset.

In both these situations, the option contract has intrinsic value. If an option is deep in the money, it is unlikely that the option will be out of the money by the time the option is exercised.
