This is what you should know about Trade options
Options can be useful instruments in various trading strategies. When bought, they give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price within a specified period.
Options are highly speculative, and you should understand the risks involved. Underlying assets such as stocks and indices can be volatile, and your investment can lose value; as options are traded on margin, you may even lose more than your initial investment.
