Yahoo Finance just made options trading easier to understand
39 segments
The market moves fast. So, when you're
trading options, timing isn't just an
advantage, it is everything. [music]
That's why Yahoo Finance is out with a
new options hub on the Alpha Spread
platform with data provided by Unusual
Whales.
>> Alpha Spread brings you real-time data
and makes the starting point pretty
simple. It breaks it down into
direction, time, [music] and risk. I've
got Nvidia pulled up. If you think the
stock is going higher, you're looking at
buying call. But, if you think the stock
is lower, you're looking at puts.
The expiration is your clock and the
strike is a price level you're trading
around.
>> So, once I pick one, how do I know what
I'm actually betting?
>> That's where the contract detail comes
in. You get the break-even, the expected
move, the max loss, and the payoff
chart. Basically, what needs to happen
and what you're risking.
>> There's also a section in here called
the Greeks. [music]
What is that all about?
>> Think of them as a dashboard. Delta is
the direction, gamma is the
acceleration, [music]
and beta, it's time. Alpha Spread shows
you where the stock can go, how long you
have, and what happens if [music] you're
wrong.
>> And you can access all of the tools
we're talking about by going to our
website using
alphabread.finance.yahoo.com.
