What is an Option?

An option is a contract giving the holder the right — but not the obligation — to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified price (strike) on or before a certain date (expiry).

Two Basic Types

  • Call Option: Right to buy the asset. Buyer profits if price rises above strike + premium paid.
  • Put Option: Right to sell the asset. Buyer profits if price falls below strike − premium paid.
