Warrants Trading explained as for kids .
Warrants are bets on an underlying which can be bought to a bank. They provide a way to make profits if
→ the underlying moves beyond a particular level (in that case the bet is called a call)
→ the underlying moves under a particular level (in that case the bet is called a put)
The underlying can be an index, a stock, a bond, ...and is called an underlying.
I - The 'call warrant case' - Enjoy the upside!
Imagine that one is able to buy a call for $ 5, and that call warrant enables to make profits if a particular stock moves beyond $100.
That leads to :

the break even is 100 + 5 = $ 105, level where there is no gains and no losses.
The risk
It's limited to have been paid, here $ 5.
II - 'Put warrant case' - Enjoy the downmove !
Imagine that one is able to buy a put warrant for $ 4, and that put enables to make profits if a particular stock moves under $100.
That leads to :

the break even is 100 - 4 = $ 96, level where there is no gains and no losses.
The risk
It's limited to what has been paid, here $ 4.
Warrants are options alike, sold by financial institution which pledge to make a market in order to uneble users to get out anytime.
