Futures and Options Trading

What is an Options Contract?

An options contract lets you, the owner, purchase and sell an asset at a fixed price until a specific deadline date. An option to purchase an asset is a "call" and an option to sell an asset is a "put". The risk factor can be quite high depending on how the investor uses options. In order to be successful in options trading, you must be correct in timing as well as on the valuations of the underlying asset.
