外汇网2021-06-19 13:48:04 70

An option contract that cannot be sold for cash quickly at the pvailing market price. Illiquid options have very low or no open interest.

Most options are illiquid when they are far away from their expiration dates. If you're holding an illiquid option, you will usually notice a very large bid-ask spad on the contract. This is because there are not enough buyers to accommodate those wanting to sell.

Unfortunately, if you are trying to sell an illiquid option, there is a good chance you'll be selling at a discount, if at all.
