What are options?

Options are contracts giving the holder the right to buy or sell a stock at a given price by a certain date. Depending on how you use options, they can either create a riskier position than an outright stock position, or they can be used to reduce risk in a stock position. Options can be attractive to the person with as little as $5,000 or as much as $5,000,000 available for investing. Options give you the leverage to do a lot more with your money than you could in an individual equity position.

What's behind MarketWatch Options Trader?
The analysis behind MarketWatch Options Trader starts with scanning software called The Profiler, which uses proprietary algorithms to sort through thousands of stocks and sectors. David Nassar’s "Foundational Analysis," which studies price, volume, time and velocity, is the logic that drives The Profiler in finding both bullish and bearish opportunities.


Lawrence G. McMillan is perhaps best known as the author of Options As a Strategic Investment, the best-selling work on stock and index options strategies, which has sold over 200,000 copies.
