Options Trading Master Class

Options are one of the most common trading instruments among professional trader managers and money managers. Most Commodity Trading Advisors are using options strategies to manage their client's portfolios, yet retail traders shy away from this exited instrument.

There is a certain bias towards options and the vast majority of individual traders think that Options are too difficult to understand, that they require too much initial capital to trade and that Options are too risky.

I can tell you with confidence that options, if taught properly, are much easier to master than most people think, it is easy to trade if you have a proper trading plan, you can trade options with a deposit of as little as $3,000 but of course you would be limited to certain strategies, trading options can reduce your risks compared to futures, and finally trading options can greatly lower your stress and tension that is very common among traders with open futures position.

Our Options Trading Master Class is completely different from all other similar courses. We designed this course specifically for retail traders from the standpoint of risk-profit analysis of every available trading strategy. We do not teach you simple mechanics of options trading and don't give you an academic knowledge of options. We teach you real-life trading strategies in real life market conditions with real-life risk and potential profit assessment for each strategy. You can deside on your own, based on your initial objective, risk tolerance and trading account initial equity size what strategies are appropriate for you.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to have any prior knowledge of trading options other than basic knowledge of futures trading and some technical analysis. We found it easier to teach you new skills and form new trading habits, than re-learn to old one. We built our course on the method of complexity. If you understand the risk and reward of simple Futures position than we can teach you how to trade Options.

We start our course with the simple explanation of Futures Contract and Long or Short Futures position. What is the risk of trading Futures? What is the margin requirement for trading Futures? When do you enter Long or Short futures position, where would be your STOP and where would be you PROFIT target?

Why do you start Options Trading Course with discussions of Futures, you might ask? it is very simple. There is a certain number, either in ticks and points or in dollar amount behind every question asked above. Once you understand that, it will be easier for you to understand options since Options on Futures are derivetives of Futures Contracts.

From that point on, we will learn just two things - BUY Put / Call Option and SELL Put / Call Option. We will learn market conditions when to BUY and when to SELL option, what is the risk associated with buying and selling options, what is the margin requirement for buying and selling options, what is maximum profit of long and short option, what is the difference between ITM, ATM, and OTM option, what are the options Greeks and how to use them, what is "What If" scenario and how to use Options Calculator? In other words, we will learn and make sure that you understand just two simple strategies - Long Option and Short Option.

If you understand all the risks and benefits of simple Long or Short Options it will be very easy for you to understand Options Strategies, that is nothing more than a simple combination of Long and Short Options that act as one strategy.

We will learn the following trading strategies in our Master Course.

• Long Synthetic Futures
• Short Synthetic Futures

• Short Synthetic Futures with Split Strike
• Long Bull Call Spread

• Long Butterfly

• Long Futures Long Put
• Short Futures Long Put

When studying every strategy, we will be discussing the following key points for each strategy:

1. What is the market condition for that strategy?
2. What is the expected volatility?
3. What are the maximum risk and expected profit for this strategy?
4. What is margin requirements for this strategy?

When we finish with the options strategies, we will learn how to apply this knowledge to real life trading. We will teach you our proprietary market analyses system used to determine market direction. This is one of the strategies that we teach in our Futures Trading Prop Master Course.

This system is based on market analyses of daily and weekly charts to generate BUY and SELL signals with a high degree of certainty. We are using 5 indicators that work in tandem to point out the probability of market direction the following day. Entry signals generated when 5 or at least 4 out of 5 signals point to the same market direction. Signals generated at the end of a trading session. Once you have BUY or SELL signal, you would also know at what price level this signal will be canceled. Based on that information, you can calculate the maximum risk for that signal. If that risk is higher than your maximum allowed risk per trade, you would have several other options to consider.

We will teach you how to use options and options strategies based on real-life market signals and pre-set maximum risk per trade. We will show you how to pick appropriate market for that signal based on the contract expiration, how to pick appropriate strike price for your option or options strategy, how to enter position or strategy, how to manage this position and how to liquidate it when objectives are achieved.

Please see the video for an example of options trading using different trading strategies.

IMPORTANT: For individuals, we can modify this course and spend more time teaching you strategies that are appropriate for your individual needs, your risk tolerance, and objectives.
