Trading options questions?
Trade asked:
Im new to options and i started a virtual account and so far the past week or so ive had great results. Id buy an option by looking at the stock seeing if it will make a nice move up or down then buy a call or put.. and the option would move like 20 - 100% in one day!.. so in real life could i see that same day for a nice 20 - 100% profit?? im trading both in the money and out the money options..
see = sell*

How does trading stock options work?
cornacopia16 asked:
For instance, can I simply trade the contract cost without ever having an obligation to the shares? For instance, let’s say I buy a call contract at $2.50 ($250.00) and the next day the stock rises and the same call contract is worth $2.55 ($255.00). Would I be able to sale the same call contact for the $2.55 with no other obligations even before the expiration? Does it also work that way with put options?
Thank you
