Stock Options Trading
T.J. Turner

Stock Options themselves are traded as securities. The most common way is trading standardized options contracts that are listed by various exchanges -- there are currently six options exchanges in the United States that list standardized options contracts based on underlying stocks -- The Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX), American Stock Exchange (AMEX) in New York City, The Pacific Coast Exchange (PCX) in San Francisco, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) which are all open-outcry marketplaces, and the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and Boston Options Exchange (BOX) are electronic marketplaces.



There are also "over the counter" options contracts that are traded not on exchanges, but between two independent parties. At least one of those parties is usually a large financial institution with a balance sheet big enough to underwrite such a contract.


Options trading, without intent to ever exercise the option, can be used as a form of leverage. The price of an option on a security will move more than the price of the security itself. For this reason and due to their usefulness in financial engineering, the total value of trading in options has at times exceeded the total value of trading in stocks themselves.


Options can also be traded to capture a certain level of volatility on an underlying security
