Nevertheless, they made their debut in the U.S. after the Chicago Board of Trade was founded, in 1848, to organize commodities trading activities. These markets introduced futures and opened the doors for many new financial instruments including options. In this chapter, we will explain the basics of how options work and how they are usually employed in today’s modern financial markets.  \nAn option is a contract between two parties giving the taker (buyer) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a predetermined price on or before a predetermined date. To acquire this right, the taker pays a premium to the writer (seller) of the contract.  \nCALL OPTIONS  \nA call option is a financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a certain underlying asset at a certain price, known as the strike price.  \nFor example, ABC Corporation is trading at $120. A one-month call option is trading for $3.50.  \nThe buyer of this call option has the right, but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of ABC for $120 per share at any time during the life of the contract. For this right, the buyer of the contract pays $3.50 to the seller.  \nThe seller of the contract receives and keeps the $3.50 but is obligated to deliver 100 shares at $120 if called upon to do so.  \nPUT OPTIONS  \nIn turn, a put option is a financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a certain underlying asset at the strike price on or before expiry.  \nUsing the example of ABC Corporation trading at $120, a one-month put option is trading at $4.00.  \nThe buyer of this put option has the right, but not the obligation to sell 100 shares of ABC for $120 per share at any time during the life of the contract.  \nFor this right, the buyer of the put contract pays $4.00 to the seller.  \nThe seller of the contract receivesand keeps the $4.00 but is obligated to buy 100 shares at $120 if called upon to do so.  \nRIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS  \nThe fact that the individual or institution who holds the option has the right and not the obligation to exercise the derivative means that if the result of the operation turns out to be unprofitable, the holder can abstain from complet","cbCaisbbiM6wWoP6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisbbiM6wWoP6","pdf",1566357,47,"English","# Contents\n## What Are Options?\n## Why Use Options?\n## How To Read Option Quotes\n## Option Assignment and Exercise\n## Option Volatility\n## Option Greeks\n## Payoff Diagrams\n## Risks When Trading Options\n## The Best Option Brokers\n## Basic Option Strategies\n## Option Definitions","[{\"question\":\"What is an option contract in options trading?\",\"answer\":\"An option is a contract between two parties that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a predetermined price on or before a predetermined date.
