2. Option Premium Trading
In derivatives, premium trading refers to trading options contracts, where:
The premium = price paid to buy an option
You either buy options (pay premium) or sell options (collect premium)
Example:
Buy Call → pay premium → profit if price rises
Sell Call/Put → earn premium → profit if price stays within range
This is widely used in strategies like:
Covered calls
Iron condors
Straddles
👉 Important: Selling premium can look easy but carries significant risk if the market moves sharply.
