An investor who purchases a put option while holding shares of the underlying stock from a previous purchase is employing a "protective put."
In other words, you buy a put option on stock you already own.
While the CALL options remain the same for both regular and binary options, the difference being that with binary options you don't actually own the asset you are trading on. It is based on mere speculation of the market movements.
"Shorting a call" is better known as writing a naked call. Basically, a naked call is a call on a position you don't hold, and it has unlimited risk--if you get exercised and the strike price plus the premium is lower than the stock price, you must make up the difference out of your margin account--or you'll receive a margin call from your brokerage. Many brokerages won't allow you to write a naked call, and the ones that will demand a very large margin account and a lot of experience in trading options.
The only difference between a long call option and a long futures position is the derivative itself--one of them is an option, the other is a futures contract.
A call option is the right to buy a specific stock at a set price (known as the strike price). for this "Right" to lock in a price, the option buyer pays the seller (also known as the grantor) money which is known as the Option Premium. Now here's where most folks get tripped up . . . You can enter the market by Buying the call (go long) or selling the call (grant, go short, or sell). If you buy the call, your risk is limited to the money that you paid the seller, i.e. the Option Premium. Your potential profit is unlimited, in the sense that if you hold the right to buy Apple at $500, you would continue to make money provided Apple continues to rise. However, if you are the seller or grantor - you sell a call - your profit is now limited to the Option Premium that you received, and your risk is unlimited. By selling the option you have essentially made a price guarantee on a stock in exchange for a lump sum payment - the option premium. So some investors utilize what is called "Covered Calls." They buy the underlying stock, say 1000 shares of apple. They are now "long" apple. Next they "Grant" (sell) call options against their long apple position. They receive the "option Premium" on the calls from the buyer, which is credited in their account. They are now long the stock, and short the call options. If apple stays the same or goes down, they owe the option purchaser nothing, and get to keep his money (option premium) once the options expire. If the price rises, the grantor is a loser on the option, but is covered by his long apple stock position, example - if he bought Apple at 400 and then granted Call options against it at a strike price of 400, if apple goes to 500 he essentially takes his winnings on his Apple Stock, and passes them (covers) his call option losses. So to clarify, your answer by selling calls against a long stock position, you lock in the option premium, which could essentially act as a limited cushion in the amount of that premium, should the stock price remain unchanged or fall in an amount of less than the option premium received.
The minimum value of a call option is zero. Why is that? Because options lose value with time until they expire on their pre-determined expiration date. Upon expiration, if the price of the underlying stock is less than the strike price of the call option, then the call seller gets to keep the premium received, whereas the call buyer has lost all the money paid for the option.

The covered call wheel strategy involves owning a stock and selling call options against it to generate income. If the call option is exercised, the stock is sold at a profit. If not, the process is repeated. This strategy can be effectively implemented by selecting stocks with stable prices, choosing appropriate strike prices for the call options, and managing risk through proper position sizing and timing of trades.
The covered call is a popular options trading strategy that involves holding a long position in an underlying asset and selling a call option on the same asset. It's often used by investors looking to generate additional income from their stock holdings through the premiums received from selling the calls.
One can effectively hedge a long stock position by using options, such as buying put options or selling call options, to protect against potential losses in the stock's value. This strategy allows the investor to limit their downside risk while still maintaining exposure to potential gains in the stock.

To purchase call options, you can open a brokerage account, research the options market, choose a specific call option contract, and place an order through your broker. Call options give you the right to buy a specific stock at a predetermined price within a certain time frame. It's important to understand the risks and potential rewards before investing in options.
Call options are heavily traded when market sentiment is generally bullish. The higher call options trading at least tells you that options traders are bullish on the overall market.
