What are OTM options?

An OTM call option has a strike price higher than the market price of the underlying asset.

An OTM put option has a strike price lower than the market price of the underlying asset.

OTM options generally have less extrinsic (time) value than In the Money (ITM) options. This makes them more appealing to traders with smaller capital. OTM options are often used in strategies like covered calls or protective puts.
