期权入门指南： 零基础也能秒懂的核心要点 "期"表示未来，"权"表示权利。期权，就是未来的权利的意思。其英文名称 "option" 直指本质——赋予期权持有者自由选择的权利。 期权是一种金融合约，赋予购买者在某个交易日或之前，以固定价格买/卖出某种金融资产的权利。 权利持有人（买方）既选择可以行权，也可以选择不行权。买方需要支付小额费用（权利金）锁定这个权利，卖方则承担相应的履约义务。 1、期权合约的六大要素 （1）标的资产：期权合约的"主角" 标的资产是指期权合约所对应的基础资产。它可以是商品、股指、外汇等。如玉米期权对应玉米期货合约，股指期权对应股票指数。 （2）权利类型：多空战场的"指挥棒" 权利类型决定了是有权买入还是卖出标的资产。 ①看涨期权（Call）：未来买入标的资产的权利，如果你认为未来标的资产价格可能上涨，可购入看涨期权； ②看跌期权（Put）：未来卖出标的资产的权利，如果你认为未来标的资产价格可能下跌，可购入看跌期权。 例如，50ETF期权的合约单位为1万，买了一份50ETF期权看涨期权就相当于拥有1万份50ETF的购买权利。 （5）行权价格：交易的"锚定点" （3）到期日：期权合约的"保 ...
