Free masterclass · Options
Most people are taught to fear a falling market. Options traders plan for one.
There are options strategies for markets moving in either direction. In this masterclass Derek walks through the ten things he wishes he had known before placing his first trade, then how options are actually used — for income, for hedging a share position, and for trades that don't depend on guessing which way the market goes next.
What the masterclass covers
- Why “what should I buy?” is the wrong first question, and what experienced traders ask instead
- What an option actually is, in plain language
- The three reasons traders use options — income, hedging and leverage
- How the risk on a position can be worked out before the trade is entered, rather than discovered afterwards
- Strategies that don’t depend on picking which direction a market moves
- Why the exit matters more than the entry
A note on markets: the strategies covered here are traded on US exchanges rather than the ASX. US listed options cover far more underlying stocks. Blu Sky Factory is an Australian education company — its students study US markets from Australia and other parts of the world.
