Yes. The course starts with the fundamental structure of options and does not require previous options-trading experience. A basic understanding of stocks may be helpful but is not required.

A stock option is a financial contract associated with an underlying stock. Depending on the contract type, it may give its holder the right to buy or sell the underlying shares at a specified strike price before or on a defined expiration date.

You will learn about options contracts, calls, puts, strike prices, option chains, brokers, market makers, the Options Greeks, market analysis, position allocation, trade setups, and options-trading psychology.

A call option generally gives its holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the contract’s strike price, while a put option generally gives its holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price. Their value and risk depend on several additional factors.

An option chain is a table that displays available call and put contracts for an underlying asset. It commonly includes expiration dates, strike prices, bid and ask prices, volume, open interest, implied volatility, and other contract information.

The Options Greeks are measurements used to describe how an option’s theoretical value may respond to different factors. Common Greeks include Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, and Rho.

Yes. Time decay is introduced through Theta, one of the Options Greeks. It describes how an option’s theoretical value may decrease as the contract approaches expiration, assuming other relevant factors remain unchanged.

Yes. The course introduces technical chart analysis and fundamental company research as two components that may be used when evaluating an underlying asset and an options-trading scenario.

Yes. Dedicated lessons introduce options brokers, analysis platforms, and the principal tools used to review contracts, option chains, prices, and market information.

Yes. An option may expire without intrinsic value, which can result in the buyer losing the entire premium paid for the contract, together with any applicable fees.

Options have different and often more complex risks than shares because they are affected by expiration, time decay, volatility, pricing variables, leverage, liquidity, and contract structure. Risk depends on the specific strategy being used.
