Options are a new and exciting way to engage with the market. They provide different benefits from more standard investments, like stocks, bonds, or ETFs.
We covered how options are essentially contracts that allow traders to buy or sell stock at a predetermined price. They offer leverage, meaning that you can use a (relatively) small amount of money for a (relatively) larger return. They can offer higher reward, but that’s paired with higher risk.
We’ve also explored the different types of options available on eToro Options, such as:
- Calls
- Puts
- Call spreads
- Put spreads
You also learned the various measurements that go into the price fluctuations of an option (the Greeks.) These include:
- Delta
- Gamma
- Theta

Building a diversified portfolio with options can help you tackle market swings in a new way. As you continue on in your options investing journey, remember to stay informed, do your research, and evaluate your strategy regularly.
With the knowledge you have gained in this beginner’s course, you’re well on your way to achieving your financial goals and building a successful investment portfolio.
