What Are the Different Types of Stock Option Trading System?

Stock option trading refers to a contract for options trading signed by both parties to a stock transaction. It allows the buyer to buy or sell a certain number of shares to the seller at a specific time and at the price stipulated in the contract. The buyer must pay a certain price in order to obtain this right. Options trading is actually a kind of rights sale. During the validity period specified in the option, the option purchaser can decide whether to buy or sell a certain amount of certain stock from the option seller at the originally agreed price, regardless of how the stock price changes during this period. Therefore, option trading is also called selective trading. [1]

Stock option trading is actually a kind of stock right buying and selling, that is, a buyer and seller of a certain stock option can at any time within a specified period, regardless of the rise and fall of the stock market price, to the seller and purchase of its stock Or, buy and sell a certain amount of a certain stock at the price specified in the option contract. There are two types of options: one is
Variables in the stock options trading market include: the agreed price of the stock to buy or sell, the length of the term, and the option premium.
The agreed price is closely related to the spot price difference: the larger the positive difference, the lower the option fee; the larger the negative difference, the higher the option fee. The term is also related to the level of the option fee. The longer the term, the higher the option fee.
The relationship between the annual call options of a company is clarified, and the company's spot on March 1 was $ 3.

As can be seen from the above table, the agreement price has increased from US $ 2.6 to US $ 3.5. . Conversely, the larger the negative difference, the richer the profit, and the higher the option fee. This is obvious from the above example. In addition, it can be seen from the table that the longer the period, the greater the profit hope, the higher the option fee. Of course, the fundamental factor affecting the premium is the market supply and demand relationship, and this relationship depends on three specific factors:
Market prices. When the stock market rises, more people buy call options, for which option sellers raise call options premiums. When the stock market falls, more people buy put options and put option fees will increase.
Contract time. The closer the stipulated contract time is to the expiration date, the smaller the profit opportunity, the lower the option fee, and the expiration date, the option fee is zero.
The potential of stocks. This ability refers to the possibility that stock price changes can bring investors even considerable income. Options trading is different from general stock investment. It has obvious speculative properties, and its profit is completely based on stock price fluctuations. Stability in stock prices will bring huge profits to investors, but it is not attractive to option investors. If the stock price fluctuates greatly, there are many potential profit opportunities, and of course, the option fee is also high.
When trading stock options, they are usually achieved through option trading contracts between buyers and sellers, and this type of contract is a unified standard contract that specifies the necessary conditions for the transaction, such as the validity period, quantity, and type , Expenses, stock prices and other factors.
The history and development of stock options trading The earliest options trading began in the United States and Europe in the early 8th century. Due to the lack of relevant laws and management, cheating scandals have repeatedly occurred, making it notorious. In the early 20th century, some companies proposed the establishment of an Options Trading Brokers and Dealers Association to provide options investors with intermediary services or sell options, but the transactions at this time were carried out individually, the earliest options OTC transactions. The formal options exchange was established in the 1970s. In April 1973,
Stock option trading should be considered after the stock index futures are launched. In this situation, stock option (option) trading should be launched, and those stocks with excellent performance and potential for development should be promoted to create stock options to form Chinese stock option trading. The city often establishes a stock option trading market in China. On the one hand, it will help investors to use stock options to control and transfer spot market risks in addition to the use of stock index futures, reducing the risk of fluctuations in stock market and stock index fluctuations. Risk to investors and address
Stock option trading can be divided into an organized option market (OrganizedExchange), that is, an exchange and an over-the-counter (OTC) market, based on the place where options are traded. Options trading originated in the 6th century and was introduced into the financial market in the 18th century. Spot stocks were used as trading objects, that is, early stock options trading. From then until the 1970s, stock option trading has been relatively fragmented. From the 1970s to the 1980s, stock options have gradually been standardized and developed. After the 1980s, developed countries have begun on their respective exchanges. The large-scale stock options trading has entered a stage of prosperity and development.
United States*
Because the US stock option market is the earliest and most mature, taking the US stock option market as an example to analyze the operation, risk and regulatory system of the stock option market is more useful for China to implement stock option trading. The risks of the stock options market mainly include interest rates,
