About Options Trading
Options are complex instruments with unique risks:
- Total loss of premium: A long option can expire worthless. You can lose 100% of what you paid.
- Unlimited loss potential: Short options (writing/selling) can result in losses far exceeding the premium received.
- Leverage amplifies losses: Small underlying moves can cause large percentage losses.
- Time decay: Options lose value as expiration approaches, even if the underlying is unchanged.
- Volatility risk: Implied volatility can collapse even after correct directional calls (e.g., post-earnings IV crush).
- 0DTE risk: Same-day-expiry options are particularly volatile and high-risk.
- Liquidity: Some option strikes may have wide spreads or limited liquidity, especially at extremes.
