期权交易的4种基本类型1. 买进看涨期权（Buy Call）• 看涨股票时，可以买入看涨期权• 盈利 (Profit) = 市场价 (share price) - 行权价( Strike Price) - 期权的费用 ( Premium) • 最大损失 = 期权费用 ( Premium ) • 若交易者买进看涨期权，之后市场价格果然上涨，且升至执行价格之上，则交易者可执行期权从而获利；• 若行权日之前股票价格一直未升到执行价格之上，则交易者放弃期权，最大损失为期权费。• 举例：你在2011年12月29日GOOG的价格为$636时候，以每合约$15.15的价格买入了GOOG的2012年1月的行权价为$650的看涨期权。你的操作是："buy to open GOOG-JAN-2012-$650-Calls"。代表你看涨GOOG，认为在2012年1月的行权日前GOOG会涨到$650以上。在行权日前随着GOOG股票价格上涨，看涨期权价格也在上涨。你可以选择提前执行你的看涨期权而获利。执行：如果到了行权日GOOG股票价格达到$700,你选择执行你的看涨期权：你可以以$650买入GOOG的股票。• 过期失效：如果到了行权日GOOG股票低于$650,你可以选择让看涨期权过期失效，你会损失每合约$15.15。2. 买进看跌期权（Buy Put）• 看跌股票时，可以买入看跌期权；• 盈利(Profit)  = 行权价(Strike Price) – 市价 (Share Price) – 期权费(Premium)• 最大损失 = 期权费用 (Premium)• 若交易者买进看跌期权，之后市场价格果然下跌，且跌至执行价格之下，则交易者执行期权从而获利。由于价格不可能跌到负数，所以买入看跌期权的最大盈利为执行价格减去期权费之差；• 若行权日之前股票并没跌到执行价格之下，则交易者放弃期权，
