Specifically, the course analyzes the history and operations of the options markets; the factors affecting option prices; trading strategies involving a single option on a stock and the stock itself, as well as trading strategies involving combinations of options; and the two main types of option valuation approaches, the binomial and the Black-Scholes models.
