The three greatest aspects of buying equity options is the ability to go long or short, with high leverage and limited risk.

Trading in equity call and put options provides great leverage as well as limiting your risk to the initial outlay. Options also provide an effective hedging mechanism.

Buying equity call options can be a great way to trade large overseas and local companies for a fraction of the price of the underlying share.

Buying put options also provides the investor with the ability to hedge the downside risk in an equity or leveraged CFD portfolio as well as profit from a downward move in the associated equity or the stock market in general.

Options also give the investor the ability to create a bullish, bearish or neutral option strategy by combining one or more option positions.

You can tailor an option strategy to totally suit your risk appetite and time horizon. Equity options can be long or short dated and "in, close-to or deep-out-of the money." This gives rise to numerous dynamic trading techniques
