Part 2 Master Class of Intraday TradingCall and Put Options Explained
A Call Option gives the buyer the right to purchase an asset at a specific price (strike price) before or on the expiry date. Investors buy calls when they expect the asset’s price to rise. Conversely, a Put Option gives the buyer the right to sell the asset at the strike price, used when expecting a price fall. Sellers of options (writers) have obligations—call writers must sell, and put writers must buy if exercised. The interplay between call and put options allows for complex strategies, such as spreads and straddles. Understanding how both function is vital for predicting market direction and building profitable positions.
