What Every Options Trader Should Know

Investing in options involves risks that are different from traditional stock trading. Before you place your first trade, keep these three factors in mind:

Market Volatility

Options prices can move significantly in a very short time. While leverage can amplify your gains, it can also lead to the total loss of your investment if the market moves against you

Time Decay (Theta)

Unlike stocks, options have an expiration date. As that date approaches, the value of the option typically decreases—this means timing is just as important as direction

Pre-Market Liquidity

Trading during pre-market hours offers a massive advantage, but be aware that "bid-ask spreads" (the difference between buying and selling prices) can be wider due to lower trading volume compared to regular hours

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an option?

An option is a contract-based financial derivative that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specific asset (such as stocks, indices, bonds, or commodities) at a predetermined price before the contract expires. It can be used to hedge positions, mitigate risk, or amplify potential returns, offering flexibility to navigate various market conditions.

Yes! Longbridge offers lifetime $0 commission^ for all US Options. You only pay a competitive platform fee and the prevailing statutory charges. This makes Longbridge one of the most cost-effective platforms in Singapore.
