SYLLABUS
Options Trading 101

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Options Trading 101 is an extensive self-study course of over 190 pages that gives you everything you will need to start investing in options with success. It is possible that you have heard of investors who have made returns of over 1000% per year trading options. This is certainly possible, and not just a case of extreme luck. If you manage to master options, you can outperform any other investment vehicle in both bull and bear markets.
 
This course caters to all levels of traders: from novice, to experienced investors looking for new ideas. You will learn exactly how and when to implement a variety of tried and true options strategies as you follow easy to understand, contextualized examples which professional traders routinely use with great success. You will learn how to quickly value options using a method that is superior to and simpler than the traditional Black Scholes model. You will learn how to use volatility and probability to your advantage like a casino. You will learn how to use VIX to evaluate general market conditions. You will also learn more traditional strategies such as using call and put spreads and how to profit from your knowledge of delta and the other ‘greeks’.
