Basic elements of option trading

1. Participants in option trading

2. The agreed price of the stock

The agreed price of the stock is also called the option exercise price, which refers to the settlement price when the option buyer exercises the option. If it is a call option, the agreed price of the stock in the option transaction should be slightly higher than the current market price; if it is a put option, the agreed price of the stock in the option transaction should be slightly lower than the current market price.

3. Option price

Option price is also called insurance premium. This is a certain amount of money that the option buyer pays to the seller, which is the price at which the option contract is purchased. The proportion is usually 5 to 30% of the agreed price. The amount of payment mainly depends on the following factors:

(1) The length of time specified in the option contract. The longer the time between the signing date and the due date of performance, the higher the insurance premium will be. Because the term is long, the risk for the option seller is greater, while the buyer has more opportunities and room for choice.

(2). The agreed price of the stock, also called the option exercise price. When the stock agreement price is closer to the stock market price, the insurance premium is higher, and conversely, the insurance premium is lower.

(3). The activity level of the stock indicated by the option. If the price of the stock fluctuates less in the stock market, or even does not change significantly for a long period of time, it means that the risk of the option seller is smaller, and the insurance premium is of course lower; on the contrary, if the market price of the stock fluctuates greatly, , the price is very active, then the risk of the option seller may increase, and the insurance premium will increase accordingly.

(4) Influence of supply and demand. If the number of buyers requesting to purchase options increases over a period of time, the insurance premium charged by the option seller will also increase; conversely, the insurance premium will decrease. In addition, some options trading buyers and sellers can transfer their options before expiration, so the impact of supply and demand will be more obvious.
