Category – Options Trading

In trading, options are used for speculation, hedging, and income generation. Traders use strategies like calls, puts, straddles, and spreads to profit from market volatility or to manage risk. Options trading requires a strong understanding of time decay, volatility, and strike prices, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term strategies.
