Options Trading – Avoid High-priced Seminars
The stock market is down, yet options activity is up. That means that many are finding themselves taking control of their assets and getting into the Wall Street game of leverage. Leverage can provide great opportunities for many looking to increase their returns and hedge against market risk. Unfortunately, with the wave of options activity, we’ve seen many firms offering high-priced seminars that don’t give the buyer what they think they’re getting.
Often times, people have just enough information to be dangerous…to themselves and their financial future. When they don’t find success, they find themselves paying the same high price for an alternative service or seminar. In order for people to have a full understanding of the options market, they need to speak with a professional who knows how they think and operate.
This is the one thing missing from many options seminars today. The course material is not always drawn up by a professional, but rather someone who has text book answers to standard market material and is in the business of making money. This can make it very difficult for the novice investor or trader who is looking to get their money’s worth out of the seminar. Options trading is not something that can be learned in 5-7 days. People who believe it can are either trying to sell you something, or do not have enough experience to advise you on how to trade options.
Do yourself a favor and seek out as many opinions as possible when choosing an options trading platform. There are many small differences outside of commissions that the less educated will not be aware of. One example is charting options. Most retail investors lack the most needed skill when it comes to getting the best entry prices on options, a chart. Would you buy a stock without looking at the chart? Probably not! This is the type of information you need to be educated on to find success in options trading.

Automated Options Trading (Hardcover) $134.47 The first and only book of its kind, Automated Options Trading describes a comprehensive, step-by-step process for creating automated options trading systems. Using the authors’ techniques, sophisticated traders can create powerful frameworks for the consistent, disciplined realization of well-defined, formalized, and carefully-tested trading strategies based on their specific requirements. Unlike other books on automated trading, this book focuses specifically on the unique requirements of options, reflecting philosophy, logic, quantitative tools, and valuation procedures that are completely different from those used in conventional automated trading algorithms. Every facet of the authors’ approach is optimized for options, including strategy development and optimization; capital allocation; risk management; performance measurement; back-testing and walk-forward analysis; and trade execution. The authors’ system reflects a continuous process of valuation, structuring and long-term management of investment portfolios (not just individual instruments), introducing systematic approaches for handling portfolios containing option combinations related to different underlying assets. With these techniques, it is finally possible to effectively automate options trading at the portfolio level. This book will be an indispensable resource for serious options traders working individually, in hedge funds, or in other institutions. |

Day Trading Options by Augen, Jeff Edition ILL, 1 $24.99 “As a veteran reader of some 500+ trading and investing books and having interviewed hundreds of authors, I never take the approach that you can believe what you read or hear about how to make money in the market, so I try their theory, system, or ideas. Jeff Augen’s book lays down clear guidelines to his intraday options strategy that I can report were profitable in the style I trade.” –Vincent M. Rowe, President, Online Trading Academy, Texas “Augen’s book breaks new ground with an indispensable and unique approach to evaluating option prices in different time frames. It also presents a new charting technique for evaluating very short-term trends lasting just a few minutes–a valuable technique for anyone who follows intraday markets. The statistical analysis and associated discussions around high-frequency trading are especially relevant in the modern financial world, which has come to be dominated by supercomputers and algorithmic trading. No serious stock or option trader should be without this book.” –Sean Sztern, Alternative Strategies Group, Desjardins Securities, Montreal, Quebec “Jeff Augen’s work on day trading options pulls the curtain back and reveals insights from the world of very short-term options trading. In doing so, he reveals insights beneficial even for the longer-term option trader. Specifically, Chapter 3 on trading volatility distortions introduces the idea of 3-D implied volatility surfaces. Far from being too advanced, this chapter addresses complex volatility issues in plain English that every option trader can understand. I wholly recommend this book.” –Steve Lentz, DiscoverOptions Minimize Your Exposure to Market Risk and Increase Profits by Trading in Very Brief Time Frames In today’s turbulent markets, traditional trading strategies have failed to provide protection from the rapid and violent changes that have swung the Dow down 330 points one day, up 280 points the next, and down 250 points at the open on the next. Fundamental analysis based on company performance and financial predictions has proven meaningless. Technical traders must now compete with institutional trading programs utilizing supercomputers that analyze and execute trades in millisecond time frames. So, how can a private investor compete in this environment? In Day Trading Options, expert option trader Jeff Augen shows you how to continue to profit even in these chaotic times. You’ll learn to structure short-term trades that exploit well characterized price distortions and anomalies. You’ll discover a breakthrough technique for utilizing volatility to identify the beginning and end of short-lived trends. And, you’ll gain the knowledge to use this innovative technique to take advantage of financial news and planned events, rather than being at their mercy. Abandon outdated trading strategies and |
