Part 1 Master Class of Intraday Trading

Understanding the Concept of Options

Option trading involves financial contracts that give buyers the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset—like a stock, index, or commodity—at a predetermined price within a specific period. The two main types are Call Options (buy rights) and Put Options (sell rights). Unlike owning shares directly, options let traders speculate on price movements with limited capital. The right to buy or sell comes at a cost known as the premium. Options are widely used for hedging, speculation, and income generation. Their value is influenced by factors such as volatility, time decay, and market sentiment. Understanding these dynamics helps traders manage risk and seize market opportunities efficiently.
