What is Options Trading?

The work of buying and selling the options is called option trading. The option contracts provide the holder their rights and do not obligate, so you can buy or sell an asset at the average price if it gets high in price in a given period.

If you assume that the cost of US crude oil will rise from $50 to $70 for an individual barrel in weeks, you then decide to purchase a call option that convinces you to buy at the market price of $55 any time within a month. The premium is the cost of option purchasing.

If the cost of US crude oil rises above $55 before the expiration of the option, you can purchase it in the market at a low price. in case if it remains below $55, then you do not need to complete it and can let it expire. In this, there will be no loss of yours but just the premium you paid to open your position.

What exactly are the call options?

When you purchase the call option, it will provide you the right but not an obligation when you buy something from an underlying market with a predetermined price called a strike, which will be on or before a predetermined date, so the higher the price in the market, the more profit you gain.

Some of the Options, like CFDs and spread bets, will remain leveraged products which allow you to speculate on market price without owning the underlying asset. It means that profits – and losses if you’re selling options – can be magnified.

When you buy call options as spread bets or CFDs with us, you will never risk more than your initial payment, just like when trading an option. Still, when you sell call or put options, your risk is potentially unlimited (although your account balance will never fall below zero). Your Positions will permanently stand settled in cash at expiry. You’ll never have to deliver or accept the underlying.

What exactly are put options?

When you purchase a put option, you gain the right, but not the obligation, to sell a market at the strike price on or before a specified date—the more significant the drop in market value, the greater your profit.

Put options can also remain sold. So if the buyer put an expiry to there option you will obligate to buy the market at strike price as seller put an end to the option.

while you trade directly, UK options traders will trade it with the bets and CFDs. Because spread bets and CFDs remain cash-settled at the close, you will never have to deliver or accept the underlying. However, both of these are leveraged trading options. It means you’ll pay a smaller deposit (known as margin) to open your trade, but your profits and losses will remain calculated on the total position size. As a result, you may lose (or gain) significantly more than your initial deposit. When you buy call options with us as spread bets or CFDs, your risk stays always limited to the margin you paid to open the position. However, when selling call options, your risk is potentially higher
