Philosophy of Option Spreads

All four Options Spreads are covered (Bull Call, Bear Call, Bull Put and Bear Put). Options spreads sit right in between the 4 basic Option positions and the more Advanced level Option strategies. The Spread is the bridge between the basic Option strategies and the advanced strategies. In fact, most advanced strategies are composed of the spreads we cover in this course, so this stuff is key.

The Bull Call Spread is an extension of the Long Call Option. When you buy a Call Option, you are bullish. The Bull Call spread maintains the bullish element of the Long Call while controlling your costs and has a limited losses profile. Of course, everything is a compromise. But you would probably be willing to make this compromise.

The Bear Call Spread is a credit spread, and we explain why credit spreads are a viable way to assuming an Option seller’s profile. The Bear Call spread limits your risk. We study the role of Probability in selecting credit spreads as well as Implied volatility considerations and time decay.

The Bear Put spread can be a powerful strategy for bear markets. The Bear Put is an extension of the Long Put Option. The Bear Put has some specific features, which make it a very attractive spread, and we dig deep into these characteristics. We put a real trade on Netflix (NFLX).

The Bull Put spread is a flat to bullish that profits primarily from time decay, but can also profit quicker from a move to the upside. Its important to pick the right strike prices for the Bull Put spread, as is a thorough analysis of the stock’s chart and support levels.

A good trade entry based upon Volume / Chart / Technical analysis sets you up for success from the get-go. But before you put a trade on, you need to perform Options analysis and simulation to understand how your position will behave under a diverse set of market conditions.

Adjustments for Spreads

Adjustments are an art more than science, and it also happens to be the key skill required for success with Options. Adjusting spreads is a bit more complex than Single Options, but taking a systematic approach to adjustment philosophy itself is the focus in this course.

If you have a regular job, then you need strategies that allow you to focus on your job, but yet create a somewhat stable and reliable income stream from your investments.

In this course on Monthly Income Options strategies, we dig deep into credit spreads and understand why being an Option seller (risk defined of course – no naked selling) may not be that bad after all.

The VIX is one of the most watched indicators in the markets, even by professionals. We take a look at what this index is, Understanding VIX method of computation, and how this Index is interpreted on a day-to-day basis in practical terms. We look at overall market correlations with the VIX since the index was created in the 1990’s.

SPX, NDX and RUT are Indexes, and SPX is a popular index Option for trading. Index trading and ETF trading offer less volatility, instant diversification and involves taking a macro approach rather than a micro approach.

This is what you may call a “soft” course focused on good discipline, self-control, yada yada. Make no mistake – the stuff we discuss in this course can make or break your investments. We cover some broad issues that every trader must overcome regardless of what markets they trade in, and then there are several specific challenges and pitfalls in the Options market itself.

The impact of time decay on Option prices in the final week before expiry is an exciting phenomenon. We know time decay is exponential, but how do the Greeks actually behave during this time. This course on Trading Options at Expiration takes a deep dive using Apple (AAPL) Options Weekly series.

Mini Courses

Mini-courses focus deep into a particular topic. Mini-courses are about 5 to 10 minutes long.

All Order Types

This Free course explores all the main Order types on a trading platform for Option traders. It’s important to recognize which Order type is best suited for the situation at hand.

There are two types of Spreads in Options, and both have significantly different Risk and Reward profiles for both Buyers and Sellers. This Free course discusses these differences and characteristics.

Credit spreads are very different from Debit spreads, in their Risk and Reward characteristics. This Free course explains these differences clearly, so traders understand the proper application and usage of such spreads.

In the stock markets, and more specifically in the Options markets, it is very helpful to think in a probabilistic mindset. This Free course provides a Primer on Probability Analysis in the Options markets.

One of the most important capabilities of Options is the ability to model and simulate various scenarios. This Mini course is Free, and covers the basic steps in Simulation and Modeling.

Bull Call Edge

One of the most important aspects in Option trading is to see if you can get an EDGE on any trade. In this Mini-course, the Bull Call spread discussed here demonstrates the kind of strong EDGE every trader should attempt to build into their trades.

Choosing strike prices for Credit spreads can be tricky. You want to get more premium, but with more premium, the risk on the spread also increases. This Mini-course provides an insightful way to think of credit spreads, when it comes to collecting premium as well as the Risk assessment, and more importantly, does an ROI analysis of the different choices.

Conditional Orders are perhaps some of the most important tools an Options trader should master. Most people don’t have time to monitor markets throughout the day, however certain Options positions may need to be monitored constantly, so that any action can be taken to counter an adverse move. But if you can’t attend to the Markets, Conditional Orders can be set up so they get triggered ONLY when a certain condition is reached, and traders can design these conditions based on their positions.

While the VIX is a much-watched Index, there are several issues with the VIX Index in its design, structure and its interpretation. This Free course explores these shortcomings to the VIX Index
