Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between call and put options profit calculations?
Call options profit when stock price exceeds strike price plus premium, while put options profit when stock price falls below strike price minus premium.
How do I calculate my break-even point for options?
For calls, add premium to strike price. For puts, subtract premium from strike price. This is where you neither profit nor lose money.
Should I include commission fees in my calculations?
Yes, always factor in brokerage commissions and fees for accurate profit/loss calculations, as they directly impact your net trading results.
