Options are divided into call and put contracts. With a call, the buyer purchases the right to buy the underlying asset in the future at a predetermined exercise or strike price. With a put, the buyer acquires the right to sell the underlying at that price.
Some basic strategies let an investor place a directional bet with limited downside if the bet goes wrong. Others lay hedges on top of existing positions to protect gains or cap losses.
Opening an options account
- Investment objectives: income, growth, capital preservation or speculation.
- Trading experience: how long you have traded, how many trades you make and their size.
- Personal financial information: liquid net worth, annual income and employment.
- The types of options you want to trade: calls, puts or spreads, covered or naked.
What you get with Options Trading.
Long calls
Bet on a rise using less capital than buying the asset outright, with loss capped at the premium.
Long puts
Profit from a fall, or insure an existing holding against a downturn.
Covered and hedged
Sell covered calls or buy protective puts to earn income and manage risk on positions you already hold.
