What is Options Trading?
Options trading is a financial activity involving contracts that give the buyer the right-but not the obligation-to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price on or before a specific date. These contracts, known as options, are versatile financial instruments used in a wide range of strategies, from hedging risk to speculative investments. Unlike directly purchasing stocks, bonds, or commodities, options provide traders and investors with flexibility. They allow participants to capitalize on market movements, protect existing investments, and generate income without owning the underlying assets.

Example:
Imagine you believe a company's stock, currently trading at $100, will increase to $120 in the next month. Instead of purchasing the stock, you can buy a call option, paying a small premium (say $5 per share) for the right to buy the stock at $110 within a month. If the stock rises to $120, you exercise your option, earning $5 per share ($120 - $110 - $5 premium). If the stock doesn't rise, your loss is limited to the $5 premium.
