Please explain how to use options / shorts / hedges

Hi all
I have seen Travis’ recent post on – the trade note on hedging. I have been an irregular since April 2023 but do not post much. I follow the forum and Travis’ tips as well as use my motley fool subscription to review my holdings.
Today has been a bit of a miserable day. Following Travis’ message today on hedging, I was wondering if Travis or other members could explain how options[1] / shorts / hedges are used and what sites can be used to leverage[2] (particularly from a UK perspective as I am based in the UK). I would like to grow my understanding instead of just purchasing and selling my stocks, with the intention of improving my strategy and decision making, and would appreciate guidance on these topics.
Best wishes
Alex
