Leverage. Flexibility. Strategic Advantage.
Option Trading is a powerful segment of the financial markets where traders and investors use derivative contracts—known as options—to speculate, hedge, or generate income. Unlike traditional stock trading, options give you the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price, within a specific time frame.
It’s a strategic tool used by everyone from retail traders to hedge funds to gain exposure with limited risk and amplified potential.
🔍 Key Concepts:
✅ Call Option – Gives the right to buy an asset at a fixed price (strike)
✅ Put Option – Gives the right to sell an asset at a fixed price
✅ Premium – The price paid to buy the option contract
✅ Strike Price – The level at which the option can be exercised
✅ Expiry Date – The date on which the contract expires
✅ In-the-Money / Out-of-the-Money – Describes the moneyness of a position relative to current price
