What is Options Trading?
Options trading involves buying and selling options contracts, which give you the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell a stock at a specific price before a certain date.
Two Basic Types of Options:
1. Call Option: Gives the right to buy an asset at a certain price (strike price).
2. Put Option: Gives the right to sell an asset at a certain price.
Key Terms:
Strike Price: The price at which you can buy/sell the underlying asset.
Premium: The price you pay to buy the option.
Expiration Date: The date the option expires.
In the Money (ITM): When exercising the option would be profitable.
Out of the Money (OTM): When exercising would lead to a loss.
Basic Strategies:
Buying Calls: You believe the stock will go up.
Buying Puts: You believe the stock will go down.
Covered Calls: You own the stock and sell call options to earn income.
Spreads: Using multiple options to limit risk and reward.
