- The loss
- The most you can lose is the whole premium paid: $480.00.
- Per contract
- $240.00 premium (2.4 x 100 shares); planned loss $240.00.
- Left unused
- $20.00 of the $500.00 budget: contracts come whole, so the count rounds down.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
Size options by what they can lose
A bought option can lose its whole premium, and many expire worthless. Sizing by the premium at risk, not by how many contracts feel right, keeps one bad trade to a small, planned share of the account. A planned exit at half the premium lets you buy more, but options gap and spreads widen, so the full premium is the honest worst case.
