What Is an Option?
An option is a financial derivative that gives the holder the right—but not the obligation—to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying asset (such as a stock) at a specified strike price before or at a certain expiration date.
Options are widely used for hedging, speculation, and portfolio management.
How Are Options Priced?
Option prices are determined by mathematical models, the most common being the Black-Scholes Model (for European options) and Binomial Trees (for American options).
Understanding the Results
The model calculates the theoretical price of the call or put option. This is the estimated fair value based on the given inputs. It may differ from the market price due to supply/demand dynamics or model assumptions.
The Greeks are risk metrics that describe how an option’s price changes in response to different market variables.
