Goal

By the end of this course, the student will have a mastery of most of the option spread strategies used by professional option traders, as well as a command of new non-directional trades. Total returns will be enhanced by the use of spreads due to lower capital requirements, and a bigger range of trade strategies. The student will become more proficient with the use of advanced trading platforms.

Student Profile

Requirements: Taking the Beginners class is recommended. In lieu of this, the class is geared to experienced options traders that want to dig deeper into the nuances of spread trading and also into more advanced concepts as put/call parity and its applications. This is a transitional class with the goal of bridging the beginners and advanced levels. If the student is already very familiar with spreads and several of the concepts in the contents table then he/she will be better served by moving to the Master Level.
