Options & Bonds
What is Strike Price?
The price at which an option lets you buy or sell
Full Explanation
The strike price is the fixed price written into an options contract. For a call, you want the stock to go above the strike. For a put, you want it to go below.
Pro Tip
Options with strike prices close to the current stock price are "at the money." Far away = "out of the money."
