Your Very First Options Trade

Notes

• The standard old options expire every third friday of the month.  There are weekly options that expire every friday too. Many sites when talking about options will mention only the more limited version of 3rd fridays.
• Expiration on friday includes after hour trading. So 4pm is not the magic time.
