What is an options trading?

Options trading is a type of financial derivative that gives investors and traders the option to buy or sell the underlying stock at a pre-agreed price (strike price) before the expiration date. There are mainly two types of options, call options and put options.

Call Options

Call options give holders the right to purchase the underlying stock at the strike price before the options expire.

Put Options

Put options give holders the right to sell the underlying stock at the strike price before the options expire.

What is the strike price of an option?
