Options Basics

Description:basics, options, transaction, qqq, premium, spy, trading system, margin, security

  • With options you are given the right, not the obligation, to buy or sell a security, at a specific price, for a predetermined period of time.
  • Your maximum potential loss is limited to the amount you paid (i.e., the premium) when you buy an option.
  • Each option contract corresponds to 100 shares of an underlying security.
  • No margin is involved; when buying options is a cash transaction.
  • Your maximum potential profit is the amount of the premium you may receive, when you sell (write) an option.
  • As options approach expiration they lose time value. During the last 30 days of it's life, an option loses its time value the fastest.
  • Options are less liquid than the underlying security.
