Introduction to Options
What you'll learn
Key Takeaways
Options trading offers traders and investors the choice, but not the obligation, to buy or sell assets like cryptocurrencies and stocks at a fixed price.
In options trading, most trading activity and profits come from buying and selling options contracts rather than exercising them to trade the underlying asset.
American options can be exercised at any point before they expire, whereas European options can only be exercised on their expiration or exercise date.
Understanding calls, puts, premiums, expiration dates, and strike prices is key to making informed decisions in options trading.
