Description

Important Note: I am a serious instructor and a profitable options trader, as you can check by my performance at  myoptionsedge. com. Udemy is full of instructors! But, unfortunately, most are only instructors and not real traders who transparently share their trading results like I do! And you can access my Options Trading Community for FREE.

*************************

You should enroll in this course if you:

1. … bought an Udemy stock options course, but you feel it is theoretical or does not teach you a proper and proven strategy

2. … have basic options knowledge and need a proper strategy to apply it in the market

3. … lack consistency trading stocks, forex or even stock options (derivatives)

4. … are not profitable scalping stocks (or using stock swing trading approach)

5. … use technical analysis or indicators that do not produce positive results

6. … shorted volatility and it produced huge drawdowns in a Volatility spike

7. … are willing to start trading with a proper trading plan (clear entry and exit instructions)

**** This course target students that want to have a real live trading experience from an experienced options trader! Full transparency (no paper trading!) ****

This is not a course as you may encounter in Udemy! This is a full options trading experience from an experienced options trader to Traders!

I will describe and discuss volatility trading and how I am managing my options positions!  And best of all, I will post a live trade and follow it up until its close (about 2 months) – saving a video explaining the fundamentals of any adjustment!

After the success of the other options courses, some students requested me how I am combining my VXX trading arsenal, how is my full trading approach or, better saying, how I am trading the VXX limiting my overall risk!  So, here you have it!

To take full potential of these options trading lessons, it is better to understand the concepts of volatility trading, how VXX works and how I trade my developed strategies. For that, I encourage you to have at least one of my other courses.

In these practical lessons, you will learn how I am putting it all together! I think this learning experience is the best way to understand how to trade options the right way, as pro traders do!

Instead of a more conceptual course, these practical lessons will transfer my knowledge on options trading to you in a very pragmatic way! I will start with a live trade and will manage along the trade develops. But before I will start with a brief discussion on option greeks and risk profiles of generic trades, giving you a brief background on them (as they are fundamental to understand how to manage full trading arsenal).

Also, it is essential to understand how the greeks affect the position and are relevant to overall positions risk. Trading stock options without looking to them and how they impact your risk is like gambling and hence, I have also included a brief lesson on them (Delta, Gamma, Theta and Vega).

Stock options are derivatives. Stock options are options that have stock as their base asset. In this case, we trade a derivative, which is volatility! We are trading derivatives of a derivative! Not normal stock options. We use an ETN (VXX), similar to a stock that tracks volatility.

This is a practical showcase on options trading where I will publish live trades (when they are open) and show how to manage overall risk as time passes until close!  You should expect that the “Croc trade”, a based options trade strategy on VXX that I developed, will be the basis of my options trading. Additionally, I will manage options overall risk with other VXX strategies, mainly the Short-Term strategy.

The options strategies involved (and trading style) can be used in IRA accounts. No unlimited risk is taken on any position.
