Introduction to Options

Option trading is a type of financial trading that gives investors the right—but not the obligation—to buy or sell an underlying asset, such as stocks, indices, commodities, or currencies, at a predetermined price before or on a specific date. Unlike owning the asset itself, an option allows traders to speculate on price movements or hedge against potential risks in the market.

Options are powerful financial instruments because they can be used for leverage, income generation, and risk management. However, they also carry complexity and risk, making education essential for anyone interested in trading them.
