Clarifying question:

You bought this 1 option not for 4, 75 dollars, but for 475 dollars right?

And thank you, that was one of the best explanation videos I've seen so far.

why is the Bid Ask spread on alot of options over 20%? does that mean you are 20% down as soon as you establish the position?

How to use the software to see possible earnings from the option? I see something called p&L but it does not correlate with the break even. It's green when I'm not even break even
