Calls and puts yes, but as it is traded, you can buy and sell them any time up to the expiration date. As you obviously know, you buy a contract for the RIGHT to either buy or sell a stock at a predetermined time. This is also very highly geared and you do not actually buy the stock (until expiry??) It just sounded that there are similarities between CFDs and options.
