Trading Leaps Options
Get Rich With Options Trading
Options trading is the best thing to do in the stock market right now. Options is a contract that derives its value from the underlying asset like stocks, commodities, currencies, ETFs, bonds and even futures. An options contract gives you the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a certain price known as the strike price before a certain date known as the exercise date by paying a small price known as premium.
Options can be of two types: 1) Puts and 2) Calls. Calls give you the right to buy the underlying asset whereas puts give you the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before the exercise date.
Now options technically speaking are not investments as they have a limited time period before they expire. That time period may extend from a month to a year. LEAPs are Long Term Anticipation Securities and can have a time frame of up to three years. LEAPs are almost like regular options with the only basic difference their long time span. Options are tremendous instruments in the hands of speculators as they provide unlimited upside potential with a limited downside risk.
You can even trade Index Options that are written on Stock Indexes like Dow Jones, S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE, DAX and others. In the same manner, you can invest in ETF Options that give you an opportunity to bet on an entire industry or sector instead of betting on a single security. Options on futures provide ultra aggressive investors with a high flying speculative instrument with high return potential. Before investing in options, you need to understand this fact that options can be risky as they have a time window before they expire. So suppose, you think that Google Stocks GOOG are going to rise in the next three months. You buy call options on GOOG. Now, if GOOG does not cooperate and does not rise as you had wanted it to, your options contracts will go worthless! So you always need to be cognizant of the time volatility of options contracts.
What you need is a good course on how to trade options. Chris Rowe is considered to be a master options trader who astonished the trading community in 2005 by not losing even a single options trade in the whole year. You need to learn from him and take a look at his Options GPS Course!

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. |
