- to choose a desirable asset;
- to choose a sum you want to invest in;
- to choose a strike price;
- to press a button «CALL», if you think that the price will grow or a button «PUT», if the price, in your opinion will fall.
Wait for the end of expiration period or sell your option ahead of schedule.
