Options trading,
decoded.
Asymmetric leverage. Defined risk. Income on demand. Options are the most powerful instrument in modern markets — and Rebel Trade gives you the AI flow, education, and execution to use them right.
What are options?
Contracts that give you the right — not the obligation — to buy or sell.
An option is a contract on 100 shares of an underlying stock or ETF. A call profits when the stock goes up; a put profits when it goes down.
You pay a small premium upfront to control a much larger position. That's the leverage. And because you can sell options too, you can also generate income from market neutrality, time decay, and volatility shifts.
Rebel Trade specializes in options — our analysts, AI scans, and unusual options activity (UOA) feeds are built around them.
Why trade options
Asymmetric leverage
Risk a defined amount to capture multiples of your premium on the right move.

Spreads, condors, and butterflies cap your max loss the moment you enter.
Income generation
Sell premium with cash-secured puts and covered calls in any market.
Hedging existing positions
Protective puts insure your share book against drawdowns.

Common strategies
From simple to sophisticated
Start with long calls or puts. Graduate to spreads. Master condors and the wheel. Rebel Trade analysts call out the right strategy for the right setup — every day.
Long Calls / Puts
Buy a call (bullish) or put (bearish) for leveraged exposure with capped downside.
Vertical Spreads
Buy + sell same-expiry strikes. Lower cost than long options, defined max profit/loss.
Iron Condors
Sell OTM call spread + OTM put spread. Profit if price stays in range.
Cash-Secured Puts
Sell puts on stocks you want to own at a lower price. Get paid to wait.
Covered Calls
Sell calls against shares you own. Generate monthly yield on long-term positions.
Straddles / Strangles
Buy both call & put for big moves; sell both to bet on a quiet range.
Options risk note
Options can expire worthless. Long premium decays every day from theta. Short option strategies carry assignment risk and — when uncovered — undefined loss potential. Position size to your account: never risk more than 1-3% per single trade. Always paper trade a strategy before deploying real capital. Rebel Trade is education and analysis — not personalized investment advice.
