This bundle is created by combining the first 3 Options Trading Strategies courses. You need all three courses to master Options.

Below is a synopsis of the options trading strategies courses.

Buying and selling call and put options is a live trade.

Section I has call options.

People learning options for the first time face a lot of jargon. This options trading strategies course uses real-world examples to explain how a call option works. It should be clear what a call option is in this example.

Section II is about put options.

You can learn how Put Options work in this course. It is the opposite of a call option. When the value of a stock drops, put options increase in value. We consider a real-world example of a Put option when we define what one is.

Section III deals with stock and options combo strategies.

Stock investors can combine Options into their portfolio strategies outlined in this section.

Options can be used to buy stock at a lower price than what the stock is currently trading for.

Options can be used to sell stock at prices that are far higher than what it is currently trading for.

Options can be used to hedge a stock position.

The time decay is in section IV.

Options strategies rely on time decay. Time decay is responsible for most advanced option strategies. We are going to study the concept in more detail in this part of the options trading strategies course. Every day, options lose value. Time decay hurts the buyer and benefits the seller. As we approach the end of an option, time decay becomes more exponential. The profiles of a buyer and seller of Options are equal. Buyers and sellers of Options have different risk and reward profiles. Several intermediate and advanced strategies are based on selling premium options and making a profit due to the time decay in the value of the options.

There is an implied quotient in section V.

The wildcard in option prices is implied volatility. You will pay a price if you ignore it. It is so important that we have at least four different types of volatility. Simple terms are used to explain the concept of Volatility. We study how volatility is quantified. There is a back-door to get Volatility into option prices. When choosing between a buyer and seller, implied volatility is important. We break this complex topic down into simple terms and show you an example of NFLX and CAT options that will make it clear what this is all about.

OPTION GREEKS, DELTA, GAMMA, VEGA, THETA.

The Greeks are your instrument panel if you are a pilot. You get the picture if you don’t manage your instrument panel properly. Understanding the Greeks is very important to every option position. The king of all Greeks, Delta, is the subject of easy to understand chapters in this course. The silent operator is called Gamma. Every option seller has a dream. Look out for this one. The Greeks are ignored by most beginners to options. You will shave off months of learning curve if you master the Greeks. You can use the help from the Greeks to fly your aircraft.

Section VII is about options market structure.

There are a number of terms that we need to be aware of. We look at all the details that go into the options market. We explain the important processes like Exercise and Assignment, as well as things like Expiry series, Bid-Ask spreads, and transaction costs. What is the role of a market maker and what is open interest? We study the different Order types and which ones are important for the average investor, and which ones make sense in different situations. Regulation T Margin applies to Options as well as Portfolio margin.

Section VIII is about buying a call option.

Buying a Call option is the most efficient option strategy to maximize a bullish outlook on a stock. We show how the trade played out in this options trading strategies course. We analyze the rationale behind entering the trade, the risk/reward profile, chart analysis and point of entry, choice of expiry, profit expectations, exit criteria, Greek analysis, and various other considerations. Before trade entry, we provide a complete analysis. We navigate the trade to its exit point over the course of 15 days.

Section IX is about buying a put option.

Buying a Put option can be used to exploit a bearish move in the stock or it can be used to protect your stock. In this part of the course, we show how the trade played out over the course of 25 days. We analyze the rationale behind entering the trade, the risk/reward profile, chart analysis and point of entry, choice of expiry, profit expectations, exit criteria, Greek analysis, and various other considerations. Before trade entry, we provide a complete analysis. In a controlled manner, we show you how to let your winners run.

STRATEGY AND OPTIMIZATION is part of section X.

The course brings all the options strategies together. The 4 strategies are comprised of 2 bullish and 2 bearish strategies, but how and when should we choose one over the other? To distinguish and connect one strategy to the other, we created a box. Before choosing a strategy, what are all the considerations? Our choice of strategy depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is the stock’s current performance. This course gives a sneak peek into advanced option topics such as the fear index, trade simulation and trade adjustment parameters.

Section XII includes single option adjustments.

The need for option adjustments is studied in this options trading strategies course. We look at various adjustments to the Long Call, Short Call, Long Put, and Short Put positions if they get into trouble. Every investor has a pain point where they adjust their position. It is possible to control risk while maximizing the opportunity to profit by applying a rigorous approach to this pain point. Early adjustments, over-adjusting and adjusting profitable trades as well as the importance of the investor’s outlook for the stock are some of the details discussed in the course.
