Starter Option Strategies
Definition
Combine options to shape risk: covered calls, protective puts, and simple spreads are the safe first steps.
Psychology
Covered call = own shares + sell a call for income. Protective put = own shares + buy a put as insurance. Both are beginner-sensible.
Real-life analogy
💡 Strategies are LEGO: each option is a brick; together they build a payoff shape you choose in advance.
Key takeaways
- Covered call: income on shares you own.
- Protective put: insurance on shares you own.
- Spreads cap risk AND reward — great training wheels.
