Longbridge offers US stock options trading during pre-market hours (4:00 AM – 9:30 AM ET), allowing you to react to overnight news and earnings releases before regular market open. **Q: What options strategies does Longbridge support?** A: Longbridge supports buying calls and puts, covered calls, protective puts, cash-secured puts, and multi-leg spreads. The platform displays real-time options chains with Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho). ### 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. ### 2. How are options traded? Option investors may choose to buy or sell option contracts, which specify an agreement to trade the underlying asset at a predetermined price on a future date. Purchasing an option contract requires paying a premium. If market conditions become favorable, the holder may exercise the option or sell the contract outright for profit. ### 3. What is the premium? The premium is the fee paid by investors when purchasing an option contract, granting the right to buy or sell a specific asset. The premium is determined by multiple factors including market supply and demand, asset price volatility, and contract expiration date. ### 4. What are the risks of options trading? Options possess leverage effects that can amplify potential gains but may also magnify losses. The maximum loss for an option buyer is limited to the premium paid, while the seller faces greater potential losses during periods of high market volatility. Before investing, it is advisable to fully understand the risks associated with each strategy and operate with caution. ### 5. What do “call” and “put” mean in options trading? A “call option” grants the right to buy an asset. If the underlying asset's price rises, the holder can purchase it at the strike price—lower than the market price—making it suitable for investors bullish on future price movements. A “put option” grants the right to sell an asset. If the underlying asset's price falls, the holder can sell it at the strike price—higher than the market price—making it useful for hedging positions or when bearish on market trends. ### 6. Can options be traded during night session hours? Longbridge Securities offers the world's exclusive U.S. stock options night session service, enabling users to trade ahead of U.S. market open hours. This eliminates constraints of traditional trading hours, allowing Asian investors to bypass time zone challenges and seize global investment opportunities in real time. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### General FAQ **Q: Is Longbridge a regulated broker?** A: Yes.
