Options:
Options are financial derivatives that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying asset (e.g., stocks, commodities, currencies) at a predetermined price within a specified time frame.
Call Options:
Call options provide the holder with the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price before the expiration date. Call options are often used by investors who expect the price of the asset to rise.
Put Options:
Put options provide the holder with the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before the expiration date. Put options are often used by investors who anticipate a decline in the price of the asset
Strike Price:
The strike price is the predetermined price at which the underlying asset can be bought or sold when exercising an option.
Expiration Date:
Options have a specific expiration date, after which they become worthless if not exercised.
Premium:
Option buyers pay a premium to the option seller for the rights conveyed by the option. The premium is influenced by factors such as the current price of the underlying asset, volatility, time to expiration, and interest rates.
