What is a stock option, really? And why are quants obsessed with them?
We introduce the main types of stock options. Next we break down the four basic option positionsโlong call, short call, long put, short putโand show how to read their payoff diagrams like a pro. Youโll learn about strike prices, leverage, hedging, and how to visualize the shape of a trade. This is your first real look into how quants build strategies out of contracts, not just stocks.
๐ Weโll answer:
Whatโs the difference between a call and a put?
What does it mean to go long or short an option?
How can a diagram tell you everything you need to know about risk and reward?

It is a supremely rational, logical approach to finance. It involves analyzing large datasets, generating mathematical models to make predictions about how markets will behave. Then, in application of these models, traders buy and sell securities based on those predictions.
In this course, you will learn the key tools used by "quants."
