Basic strategies of stock index option trading

Buy call option

Traders buy call options and expect the stock price index to rise. After paying the premium, the buyer can enjoy the right to buy the stock price index at the agreed execution price, but has no obligation to buy it. Avoid the losses caused by direct purchase of stock index.

Sell call option

The main purpose of traders selling call options is to obtain option fees. However, to sell call options, you must pay a deposit, and the deposit is higher than the premium. All sellers need to have some initial funds to prevent adverse changes in the market.

Buy put option

Traders buy put options in anticipation of a decline in the stock price index. After paying the premium, the buyer can enjoy the right to sell the stock index at the agreed execution price, but has no obligation to sell it.
