What You’ll Learn

  • Definition: Options are derivative contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying asset at a predetermined price before a specified expiration date.
  • Types of Options: There are two main types of options: calls (right to buy) and puts (right to sell). Traders can use both for speculation, income generation, and hedging.
  • Limited Risk for Buyers: When buying options, the maximum loss is limited to the premium paid for the contract, providing a defined risk level compared to the potentially unlimited gains for calls or large profits from puts.
  • Leverage: Options provide leverage, allowing traders to control a large position in an asset for a fraction of its cost. This enhances potential returns, but also increases risk.
  • Expiration Date: All options have a fixed expiration date, after which they become worthless if not exercised or sold. This time constraint plays a critical role in pricing and decision-making.
  • Strike Price: The strike price is the agreed-upon price at which the holder can buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset, and it is a key factor in determining an option’s value.
  • In-the-Money vs. Out-of-the-Money: Options can be in-the-money (profitable if exercised), out-of-the-money (unprofitable at the current time), or at-the-money (the strike price is equal to the underlying asset’s price).
  • Options Premiums: The cost of an option is called the premium, which is influenced by factors such as the underlying asset’s price, volatility, time until expiration, and interest rates.
