Option Volatility, "greeks," and Pricing
TRADE 203-0

Winning at options means betting with the odds on your side. It's not about predicting the future but, rather, evaluating the present, determining which options are undervalued and which are overvalued, and creating strategies that put the odds in your favor. This options course teaches traders the most sophisticated tools to evaluate market conditions and options at any given point in time, including option pricing models, "greeks," and volatility skews It also gives students the knowledge necessary to understand the peculiarities or "personalities" of the different options contracts. In general, the point of the course is to provide students with fluency in their ability to conceptualize options and volatility, to enable them to grasp the important characteristics of an options market at any given time and identify anomalies and aberrations, and to create optimum options strategies to take advantage of them. Students will learn a variety of strategies and option-trading approaches, as well as how to determine which strategies are appropriate for which conditions.

A basic understanding of options is required.  

Tuition: $595.00
