Hey guys.
Question for anyone kind enough to help simplify this for my dumbass . I’m fairly new to options trading. Took a few small Ls trying to learn this. Trying to get my first win.
Under the trade options tab (I don’t actually own any options right now), what does it mean to sell a call?
I understand buying a call at a particular strike price. If it exceeds that price, I can profit, minus the premium.
However, is selling a call different than buying a put? And conversely, is buying a put different than selling one?
Essentially, I own 300 shares of GE, If I want to protect myself from losses, do I sell a call? Or do I buy put? Should I sell put?
Or is the selling tab (call or put), as simple as, selling any option contracts/options I own in my account?
I feel like I’m over complicating this.
