SECTION I – Call Options
Get immediately download Hari Swaminathan – Options Basics
Most people learning Options for the first time face too much jargon and complex language. This options trading strategies course use real-world examples (buying a house) to explain how a Call Option (Section 1) works in real life. This example should make it absolutely clear what a Call Option is in step-by-step details.
SECTION II – Put Options.
The Put Option is the ultimate “protector” of your portfolio, and in this course you can learn how Put Options work. It is the exact opposite to a Call Option. Put Options increase in value when the value of a stock or index drops in price. We define what a Put Option, and just like we did in the Call Option, we consider a real-world example of a Put Option.
SECTION III – Stock and Options combo strategies
In this section, three creative strategies are outlined for Stock investors to combine Options into their portfolio strategies.
· Use Options to buy Stock at prices that are far lower than what the stock is currently trading for
· Use Options to sell Stock at prices that are far higher than what it is currently trading for
· Use Options to hedge a Stock position that you already own
SECTION IV – TIME DECAY
Time decay is a pivotal component of Options strategies. Time decay is the main reason for most advanced option strategies. This section of the course will cover the topic in great detail. Options are “wasting” assets, and they lose value every day. The seller gets the benefits of time decay, while the buyer is hurt. As we get closer to the expiry of an Option, the speed of time decay increases exponentially. It is also the great equalizer between the profiles of a buyer and seller of Options. Time decay is the great equalizer in the risk / reward profiles of buyers and sellers of Options. Many advanced and intermediate strategies are built on the selling of premium options (option sellers). These positions can make a profit as a result of the time decay in their value over time.
SECTION V – IMPLIED VOLATILITY
Implied Volatility is the “wildcard” in Option prices. It is important to understand that you will have to pay. It’s vital that we have at least four types of Volatility: Implied Volatility (Volatility), Historical Volatility (Historical Volatility), and Future or Expected volatility (or Volatility). We use the real-world examples to explain the concept of Volatility in simple terms. Then we study how Volatility is quantified in Stocks and Options. And how Volatility finds a back-door to embed itself into Option prices. It is important to consider implied Volatility when deciding between buyer and seller profiles. This complex topic is broken down into simple terms. We will show you an example for NFLX and CAT options. It should be clear.
SECTION VI – OPTION GREEKS, DELTA, GAMMA, VEGA, THETA
If you’re the pilot of an aircraft, the Greeks are your instrument panel. Your instrument panel will not be properly managed if it isn’t. Every Option position requires an understanding of the Greeks. This course is broken down into easily understood chapters for each of the four Greeks, including Delta, the king among all Greeks. Gamma – The silent operator. Theta is every Option seller’s ideal. And Vega – Be on the lookout for this one… Most beginners to Options tend to ignore the Greeks. You can save months of learning by mastering the Greeks. Not to mention, you can then fly your aircraft on “auto-pilot” (with help from the Greeks).

SECTION VII – OPTIONS MARKET STRUCTURE
The Options market has a number of terms that we need to be aware of. Starting with terminology differences like “Long” and “Short”, we look at all the details that go into the Options market. We explain the important processes like Exercise and Assignment, as well as things like Expiry series, Bid-Ask spreads, Brokerage and transaction costs and various other details. What is Open Interest? Why is it important? And what are the responsibilities of Market Makers? We will discuss the various Order types, which are most important for average investors, and which ones work best in different situations. We also discuss Regulation T Margin as it applies to Options as well as Portfolio margin.
SECTION VIII – BUY A CALL OPTION (CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL)
Buying a Call Option is the most basic of all the Option strategies and is the most efficient strategy to optimize a bullish outlook on a stock. We will use the Chipotle Mexican Grill’s (CMG) trade as an example and explain how it worked. We analyze the rationale behind entering the trade, the risk/reward profile, chart analysis and point of entry, choice of expiry and “moneyness” of the Option, time decay considerations, margin requirements, profit expectations, exit criteria, Greek analysis, its Profit and Loss profile and various other considerations. We provide a 360-degree analysis before trade entry. This is a real trading position and takes more than 15 days. We guide you through the trade until it reaches its exit point.
SECTION IX – BUYING A PUT OPTION (FXE EURO ETF)
Buying a Put Option serves two purposes – exploit a bearish move in the stock or be the ultimate protector of your stock. This section will show you how the trade turned out for the Euro ETF (FXE). We analyze the rationale behind entering the trade, the risk/reward profile, chart analysis and point of entry, choice of expiry and “moneyness” of the Option, time decay considerations, margin requirements, profit expectations, exit criteria, Greek analysis, its Profit and Loss profile and various other considerations. We provide a 360-degree analysis before trade entry. We show you how to “let your winners run” in a controlled manner.
SECTION X – STRATEGY AND OPTIMIZATION
The Option strategy optimization course brings all the 4 Options strategies together. These 4 strategies include 2 bullish and two bearish strategies. How and when do you choose one strategy over another? We create a helpful “4 strategies box” to distinguish and connect one strategy to the other. What are the main considerations before choosing a strategy to use? Not only does the stock’s performance affect our decision on a strategy, but so do other market factors and important Option metrics like Implied volatility. This course also provides a sneak peek into advanced Option topics like the VIX (Fear index”), trade simulation as well as trade adjustment parameters.
SECTION XII – SINGLE OPTION ADJUSTMENTS
This options trading strategies course studies the need for Option adjustments, and why adjustments are as critical to the success of your position as good entry or analysis. We consider all the four basic strategies – the Long Call, Short Call, Long Put, and the Short Put and look at various adjustments to these positions if they get into trouble. Every investor has a “pain point” – this is the point at which they adjust their position. Applying a rigorous approach to this pain point enables investors to control risk while maximizing the opportunity to profit. The course also discusses various details like early adjustments, over-adjusting and adjusting profitable trades as well as the importance of the investor’s outlook for the stock when considering adjustments.
