FAQ

Options questions, answered

Everything you need to know before placing your first options trade.

An option is a contract giving the buyer the right (not obligation) to buy (call) or sell (put) 100 shares of an underlying at a set strike price, on or before an expiration date. The buyer pays a premium; the seller collects it.

Options risk disclosure: Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option, you must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Multiple-leg strategies involve additional risks and multiple commissions. Support, resistance, and breakeven points are estimates and not guarantees. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
