Why Trade Options?
Beginners often ask: “Why not just buy stocks directly?”
Here’s why many traders prefer options:
Leverage: With a small premium, you can control a large quantity of shares.
Limited Risk (for Buyers): Your maximum loss is the premium paid.
Profit from Any Direction: Options let you benefit from rising, falling, or even stagnant markets.
Hedging: Protect your portfolio from adverse price moves. For example, buying puts on Nifty can protect your stock portfolio during market crashes.
Income Generation: By selling options, traders collect premiums regularly (popular among professionals).
Risks of Options Trading
Options can be powerful but come with risks:
Time Decay (Theta): Options lose value as expiry nears.
High Volatility: Premiums can fluctuate wildly.
Leverage Trap: While leverage amplifies profits, it also magnifies losses.
Unlimited Risk (for Sellers): If you sell options, your risk can be theoretically unlimited.
Complex Strategies: Advanced option strategies require deep knowledge.
Factors Affecting Option Prices
Option premiums are influenced by multiple factors:
Underlying Price: Moves directly impact intrinsic value.
Time to Expiry: Longer duration = higher premium (more time value).
Volatility: Higher volatility = higher premium (more uncertainty).
Interest Rates & Dividends: Minor factors but can influence pricing.
The famous Black-Scholes Model is often used to calculate theoretical option prices.
