What is Strike Price?

DerivativesIntermediate

The strike price is the set price at which an option can be exercised — the price you can buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying stock. Options with strike prices near the current market price are 'at the money'. Your profit depends on how far the stock moves beyond the strike price.
