The option value is the total premium of a contract, determined by market forces and theoretical pricing. It consists of intrinsic and extrinsic value.

Traders constantly analyze this value to determine if an option is a good buy or sell. Understanding the components of option value is the foundational skill for all professional derivatives traders.
