What You Will Learn

01
What Options Are
Calls, puts, rights vs. obligations — the building blocks of every options trade, explained visually with custom diagrams.
02
Buying vs. Selling Options
Why selling premium has a structural edge, what risks come with it, and how the payoff profiles differ between buyers and sellers.
03
Option Pricing & Moneyness
Intrinsic value, time value, ITM/ATM/OTM classification — how option prices move, what drives them, and how to read a quote chain.
04
Implied Volatility
What IV measures, how it affects premium pricing, why high IV favours sellers, and the difference between historical and implied volatility.
05
The Greeks — Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega
What each Greek tells you about your position's risk exposure, how sellers use Theta decay, and why Gamma matters near expiration.
06
Assignment & What Happens at Expiration
American vs. European exercise, early assignment risk, settlement mechanics, and how to handle each scenario as a seller.
07
Margin Requirements
How margin works for options sellers, maintenance margin calculations, and why margin discipline is the foundation of risk management.
08
Synthetics & the Foundation of Defence
Put-call parity, synthetic positions, and the relationships that make trade defence possible in later modules.

Who This Module Is For

Start here if

  • You trade stocks and want to understand options mechanics before selling your first premium
  • You sell options already but have gaps in your understanding of Greeks, margin, or assignment risk
  • You want a visual, structured course rather than piecing knowledge together from scattered sources
  • You are considering the full SafePremium programme and want to experience the teaching approach first

This is not for you if

  • You can already explain put-call parity, Delta hedging, and margin calculations confidently
  • You want trade alerts, signals, or someone to tell you what to buy and sell
  • You expect one 80-minute module to replace years of trading experience — this is a foundation, not a shortcut
