Options Course Curriculum
OPTION CLASS 1 - Option Essentials
An education in Option Theory must be approached in the same way an office building is built. The first thing is to build a strong, solid and sound foundation. Option essentials take you through the myriad of terms and concepts that allow you build the foundation upon which you will learn about options the right way. All of the basic definitions (option, put, call, strike, expiration, assignment, etc.) will be defined and the option pricing model (the root of option valuation) will be explored. The exploration of the model is the best way to understanding how an options price is derived and how options react to changes in market variables.
• Terms and Definitions
• Pricing Model Mathematics
• The Option Pricing Models
• Inputs to the Option Pricing Model
• Calculation and Origin of Theoretical Value
• The Greeks (first and second tier)
OPTION CLASS 2 - Option Fundamentals
In this class, we begin to study the two types of option: calls and puts. You will learn how calls and puts function and how they can be used individually. The Greek sensitivities of both calls and puts will be investigated. Further, we start to examine how calls and puts of different months and strikes are connected with each other. Finally, we look at how synthetic positions are constructed and how they help to reveal the secret relationships that bind all calls and puts together.
• Calls and Puts
• Importance of Synthetic Positions
• Synthetic Stock
• Synthetic Calls
• Synthetic Puts
• Reverse / Conversion
• Put / Call Parity
OPTION CLASS 3 - Basic Option Strategies
With the essentials and fundamental now fully under your belt, it is time to learn about the basic strategies. See how buy-writes, sell-writes, protective puts, synthetic puts and collars work to enhance your profits and hedge your risk. Each strategy will be defined and explained in detail. The maximum profits, maximum loss, risks and rewards of each strategy will be explored with examples showing how the strategy will perform under a variety of changing variables. Finally, the “when to use” and all important “how to close” procedures will be discussed.
• Covered Call / Buy-Write
• Protective Put
• Collar
• Sell-Write
• Synthetic Put
• Bull Spread
• Bear Spread
• The Box
OPTION CLASS 4 - Advanced Option Strategies
Now that you have mastered the basic option strategies, it is time to learn about the advanced strategies. The advanced strategies differ from the basic strategies in the fact that advanced strategies feature options teamed with other options as opposed to options teamed with stock. In this class, see how vertical spreads, calendar spreads, straddles, strangles, butterflies and condors and collars offer you large profit potential in a hedged position with lower entry dollar costs. Each strategy will be defined and explained in detail. The maximum profits, maximum loss, risks and rewards of each strategy will be explored with examples showing how the strategy will perform under a variety of changing variables. Finally, the “when to use” and all important “how to close” procedures will be discussed.
• Calendar / Time Spread
• Jellyroll
• Straddle
• Synthetic Straddle
• Strangle
• Butterfly
• Iron Butterfly
