Trading Ratios And Butterflies

A Focus Course
Tuition:
$1,995.00

Overview

Traders and Investors are at times presented with market conditions that are neutral in nature regarding volatility and/or price movement. It can be challenging to construct a viable options strategy when volatility conditions are a bit too low for credit strategies and a bit too high for debit strategies while keeping their overall risk and capital requirements at lower, more controlled, and acceptable levels.

While Ratios and Butterflies are generally dismissed as “too complex” by novice traders, they can be very powerful tools when set up and managed properly. These strategies can also be extremely useful as current long-term or short-term position adjustment concepts. By understanding the smaller capital requirements related to the overall risk, the tendency of the Greeks’ calculations to potentially become more favorable as the trade evolves and grasping the concept of picking and choosing the type of reward-to-risk desired, each Trader and Investor can benefit from the extreme versatility of these strategies.

As a result, Online Trading Academy has created this class designed to help educated Options traders take advantage of the opportunities, while managing the risks associated with Trading Ratios and Butterflies.

Note: This class provides information on Ratio and Butterfly Options Strategies and offers instruction on how to trade them.
