Part 1 Intraday Trading Master Class Introduction to Options An option is a financial contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price, before or on a specific date. The underlying asset can be stocks, commodities, indices, currencies, or other financial instruments. Unlike buying shares directly, options give you leverage, meaning you can control a large number of shares with a smaller investment. Options are derivatives, because their value derives from the price of the underlying asset. Key participants in options trading are: Buyers (holders) – pay a premium for the option and can exercise it if profitable. Sellers (writers) – receive the premium and are obligated if the buyer exercises the option.

Part 1 Intraday Institutional Basics of Options An option is a financial contract that gives the holder the right to either buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified strike price before the contract's expiration date. There are two primary types of options: 1. Call Options – A call option gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price. Traders buy call options when they expect the price of the asset to rise. For instance, if a stock is trading at $100 and the trader buys a call option with a strike price of $105, they can profit if the stock exceeds $105 plus the premium paid for the option. 2. Put Options – A put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price. Traders buy put options when they anticipate a decline in the asset’s price. For example, if a stock trades at $100 and a put option has a strike price of $95, the trader profits if the stock drops below $95 minus the premium.
