Video description
SMB’s Options Fundamentals Courseis a
five-part video series program that has been culled from a
larger, more comprehensive series of option training videos
developed by SMB. This subset of videos is designed for novice and
intermediate level options traders who are seeking to learn the
basics of trading options spreads for monthly income. The program
involves a thorough review of the fundamentals of options, after
which it delves into one example of a particularly popular strategy
known as the iron condor.
Each video is accompanied by a PowerPoint exhibit that forms the
basis of the video lectures and screen displays and serves as
reference material for the viewer once the course has been
completed.
Please be sure to download the PowerPoint
exhibits before watching the video lessons.Once viewers
have completed this course, they will be in a position to drill
down more deeply into the many powerful and advanced strategies
that are available to the knowledgeable options trader.
The course includes five videos:
Options Course Overview: This video provides
viewers with an overall preview of SMB’s larger, more
comprehensive Options Training Program and the structure of the
course. Its purpose is to provide a context for viewers as they
review each of the remaining videos.
Fundamental Options Concepts: This video
defines in detail what options contracts are and the many different
ways that they can be categorized. The purpose of the video is to
provide viewers with the fundamental options definitions that will
drive their understanding of how to combine options into spreads as
a strategy for trading income.
The Options “Greeks”: This video describes how
options change price by virtue of changes in the underlying stocks
or indices from which they are derived. Changes in options prices
based upon changes in market volatility, the passage of time, and
price movements in the underlying stock or index are reviewed. This
information is critical in understanding how the spreads sold will
create income for viewers who employ options income strategies.
Options Spread Theory: This video pulls
together the knowledge viewers gained in the first few videos by
demonstrating how options can be combined in ways that create many
different income opportunities for patient, methodical options
traders. These combinations, called “spreads,” are the basic
building blocks of all options income trades. Once viewers
understand the material in this video, they will be able to
understand why the different, more advanced options strategies
work.
The Condor Strategy: One of the most popular
options income strategies is the iron condor. This strategy allows
traders to select a range of prices within which they believe that
a stock or index will trade over a particular period of time.
Traders can then put together an options trade that “brackets” that
range, and, if the market remains inside that range, the trade
should be profitable. This video provides a strategy for trading
the iron condor.
