Compare the out-of-the-money futures options buyer (in this case, a call) with the straight futures contract trader in the same market. It is mid-May, and July soybean futures rise by 10 cents during the trading session.

The straight July soybean futures contract trader has just made $500 ($50 per 1-cent rise in price). However, the July soybean option trader holding the call maybe makes a penny ($50).
