FAQ
1) What’s the key difference between buying options and owning the stock?
Buying an option gives you the right to buy or sell a stock for a limited time. You only risk the price you pay for the option, but the option loses value as time passes. Owning the stock means you hold it without time limits and move fully with its price.
2) When should I use a vertical credit spread?
This strategy works when you believe the stock will stay above or below a certain level. It limits both your risk and your possible profit. Your maximum gain is the money received at the start, and your maximum loss is capped.
3) How does put-call parity help in practice?
It shows the relationship between calls, puts, and the stock price. This helps traders build positions that act like owning the stock and check if option prices are fair.
4) How do the Greeks guide entries and risk management?
The Greeks measure different risks:
Delta: how much the option moves with the stock.
Gamma: how quickly Delta changes.
Theta: how much value is lost as time passes.
Vega: how sensitive it is to changes in volatility.
Rho: how it reacts to interest rate changes.
5) How do I analyze and place trades in TWS Mosaic?
You can look at option prices, expiries, and risk measures in the Option Chain. Then build your trade, test possible outcomes with the Performance Graph, and place it using limit orders.
