[C] Classification: Confidential Jeffrey - Below is the description and scenario analysis from Nay and team for the lOy USDJPY call option, strike 85 with American style KO at 90 (v spot). If you review and like the long-term position ("IRR" like trade, as vinit said), our suggestion is to leg in, perhaps S5mm notional x2 for total SlOmm notional. Let's discuss the below in the morning (Fri) and depending on your review/the market we can potentially add the first leg.

Key Points: - we find that buyers often cheapen call options by selling in-the-money knockouts - so if the buyers view is "too right" the option knocks out and becomes worthless - Rather than "trying to be right, but not too right," consider buying call options which knock-out if spot trades down (ie. against your view) because in that case, you are wrong on the direction bet and probably do not want the option anymore. - The challenge is that is no one ever pays much for the out-of-the-money KO feature so its almost never worth doing - except, in our view, in USDJPY CONFIDENTIAL — PURSUANT TO FED.
