Lawrence G. McMillan – Recorded Intensive Option Webinar #1: Volatility Trading
A 4 hour seminar download detailing various volatility trading strategies
The main focus of this 4 hour seminar is not speculation, per se (although there will some discussion of it), but rather the use of volatility trading option strategies to put the odds of success in your favor.
First, there is a complete discussion of the products in the newest asset trading class – Volatility – including futures, options, and ETN’s. Hedged strategies to take advantage of distorted volatility market constructs are also demonstrated.
A large portion of the seminar addresses the use of options theory to trade the more popular option strategies. These theories include the application of implied volatility, volatility skews, expected return, and risk management. The strategies covered in this regard include covered writing, naked put selling, credit spreads, calendars spreads, ratio spreads, backspreads, and straddle buying. The use of weekly options in some of these strategies can make them highly profitable.
This 4 hour intensive webinar includes an array of highly profitable, successfully tested trading systems. Some of these are day-trading systems, including the powerful Previous Daily Range system, while others are of a longer term. The power of the content in this discussion alone makes the webinar worthwhile.
