A low exercise price option(LEPO) is a call option with an exercise price set deep in-the-money. The limiting case, a zero exercise price option, is when the strike price is zero. It is virtually certain to be exercised and the value and performance of its intrinsic value is effectively identical to that of the underlying equity. These features are designed to allow participation in the performance of an equity price where there are legal or financial obstacles to purchasing the underlying [equity] directly. 2, record 3, English, - low%20exercise%20price%20option

Some option traders attempt to construct "gamma-neutral" positions in options (long and short) such that the delta of the overall position remains unchanged for small changes in the price of the underlying instrument. Using this method writers can produce a fairly constant delta and avoid the transactions costs involved in purchasing and selling the underlying as its price changes. 2, record 5, English, - gamma
