Equivalent Positions
 

By: Lawrence McMillan

 

The following is a clip from Lawrence McMillan's Reducing the Risk of Option Trading 

 

How can two trades have the same risk and reward when they look so very different? That's the frequent response when investors first learn that you can trade options in such a way that the option position is equivalent to a different a totally different trade - such as a futures contract. In this clip, Lawrence McMillan discusses the concept of equivalent positions.

Finding the Right Time Horizon
 
 
Run, don't walk, to this post by Bill Luby.  It's a discussion of time horizon and trading.  And it absolutely could not be more important to an off-the-floor trader.
 

I used to do a lot of seminars a decade ago.  At those seminars, we'd discuss a variety of different trading strategies, and I would always get the question, "Which one is best?"  My response would be, look honestly at the work involved.

 
Options: Bondors
 
By: TradeWins Publishing Editors

It is a fact that options expire and option time decay is the most extreme in the last two weeks.

This trade takes advantage of the massive (Ski Slope) time decay in the last two weeks of an options life. The Bondor also has a protective layer of insurance just in case something extremely out of the ordinary happens during that time.
