Learn Options Trading – What You Should Know Before You …

http://ForexAutopilotSystem.org -

Learn Options Trading – What You Should Know Before You Start Trading – This article attempts to set out the basic features that you will need to know in order to learn options trading. By the time you finish this article, you should understand what an option is, how they work and how you could potentially incorporate this into your overall trading strategy.

Back to basics

An option is a contract between the buyer (the “holder”) and the seller (the “writer”) that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to:

* Buy or sell the underlying asset which is the subject of the option (i.e. exercise the option) within a fixed period of time (i.e. typically before the option’s expiration date); and
* Carry out the above transaction at a predetermined price (the “strike price”).

As payment (consideration) for granting the option, the holder typically pays a premium to the writer (which in theory compensates the writer for the risk he/she has taken on in accepting the legal obligation/s that the option imposes on him/her). One potential financial “driver” that may encourage the writer to enter into a contract is the possibility that the option will expire prior to being exercised (allowing the writer to simply “pocket” the premium).

So the holder and the writer are effectively making a “bet”: for the holder, that market conditions will change such that it becomes advantageous for him/her to exercise the option, and that he/she will then do so; for the writer, that this will not happen.

While the option is “live” (i.e. once the contract has been entered into but before it has been exercised or has expired), the holder is said to have a “long position” and the writer a “short position”.

So how do options work?

There are two main types (depending on whether the option confers the right to buy or sell an underlying asset), namely “put” and “call” options.

“Put Options”

This is where the writer grants the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the …

The reason we trade, is to make money.

The reason we make money, is to have an income.

So what are reasonable expectations when it comes to trading? What sort of income can you expect? What should you remember when you hear that a trader had a $2500 trade? How much money should you take home to live on?

I offer my experience and thoughts on the subject, in the following vlog . . .

NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 13 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets.

Money Management: Drawdown

Why keep track of your drawdown? After all, we just want to trade right? You just want to focus in on the reward, whether it be from the Forex, Commodity Futures, or Stock Markets, right?

Drawdown assists you in understanding the worth of a system or method as well. If the person offering the system refuses to talk about the drawdown numbers of that system? That’s a good indication it’s a scam and highly overrated. If the person offers you a system or methodology and talks about drawdown – this lets you know that the system has verifiable merit that you can test.

But what does drawdown tell you about your system, and how you should adjust the rest of your money management strategy?

We discuss that in the following vlog entry …
