Brokers are the ones who take care of the trading for clients. So if you want to have a piece of the stock market trading action, it’s actually the broker who initiates the trade. There are two ways to do a trade, on the exchange floor and electronically. The first one happens on the New York Stock Exchange floor. This is the usual scenes we see in the movies when they depict the stock market. The electronic method is done via NASDAQ. Both methods would still require you to have brokers.
When buyers and sellers settle a price for an asset to be paid on a given time, then you have an option. The seller then collects a payment for this or a premium. Brokers use an option trading strategy to get the best trade possible. Most often brokers use several option strategies to get the best trade as the market situation changes. Overall, this is how the stock market works, but there are still hordes of information you can read about if you wish to invest in stocks.

Basically an option is when a buyer and a seller agrees to buy an asset at a given amount and time. And when a buyer uses several trade options to get the trade, this is now called option strategies. A Different option trading strategy is used depending on the situation of the market.
