Trading

Options trading gives investors two core tools for expressing a view on where a stock's price is headed: the call option and the put option. A call grants the right to buy the underlying asset at a set strike price, while a put grants the right to sell it, both on or before a fixed expiration date. Knowing which one fits a given market outlook, and what each side of the contract risks, is the first step before opening any options position.

The core difference is what each order prioritises. A stop-loss order confirms your trade will execute once the stop price is reached, though the fill price can move against you. A stop-limit order fixes the price you accept, but the trade may never execute if the market moves past it. In short: a stop-loss order favours execution certainty, a stop-limit order favours price certainty.
