Option trading profit is derived from changes in the price of the underlying asset. For option buyers, profit is realized if the asset’s price moves in their favor before expiration, allowing them to sell the option for more than the premium paid. Call option buyers profit when the asset price rises, while put option buyers profit when it falls. Sellers of options collect premiums upfront and hope the option expires worthless, keeping the premium as profit. However, sellers face unlimited risk if the price moves against them. Effective profit in options trading requires skill, timing, and a solid understanding of market dynamics.
