Readers should note, however, that certain exchanges may express premiums in other unconventional ways. Readers need to be sure they fully understand the various conventions used by the exchanges on which they trade in quoting premiums.

If the exercise price of a cash-settled, dollar-denominated call option on euros is $1.2500 per euro, the exercise settlement value of the euro is determined to be $1.2607 and the option covers 10,000 euros, then the cash settlement amount for the option will be ($1.2607 - $1.2500) x 10,000 = $107.00.
