Is options trading risky? Can I lose all my money?
Options trading carries risk, but the degree depends on whether you are buying or selling options and which strategy you use. For option buyers, the maximum loss is limited to the premium paid. For sellers, losses can be larger without proper risk management. F&O Universe’s Strategy Builder clearly shows the maximum loss, maximum profit, and breakeven for every strategy before you enter — so you always trade with full visibility of your risk.
