Options trading basics — learn risk before premium stories

Options are contracts, not lottery tickets. Start with what you buy/sell, what you can lose, and why assignment exists. Agents61 can help research underliers and paper stock strategies — it is not a live options chain.

Vocabulary first

Call = right to buy; Put = right to sell. Strike, expiry, premium, intrinsic vs time value, long vs short.

If you cannot explain max loss in one sentence, do not size. See /options-risk-basics.

Where Agents61 helps

Research the underlying with masters. US quant “wheel” language is model-premium rehearsal on stock tape — not a live OPRA chain. Keep broker education modules for live Greeks.

Questions

Does Agents61 trade options for me?

No. Educational framing + equity/crypto paper. No live options routing.

Is this advice?

No. Education only. Options can expire worthless or produce large losses.

Should beginners sell options?

Many educators say no until max loss is instinctive. We teach risk framing — not a prescription.
