Options Boot Camp is designed to help get you into peak options trading shape by teaching you options trading inside and out, basic to complex. Listeners can even submit their own options questions to be answered on the program.
Gamma - The rate of change of Delta, as the underlying stock
changes, but sometimes overwhelming to beginners.
Theta - Time decay. The rate of change of an option given a
change in the time to expiration.
Vega - The king of the Greeks. The rate of change of an option
price, as a result of change in implied volatility.
What is the difference between a retail and professional options
trader?
Mail Call: Reaching out for a bootcamp lifeline.
Tweet from Tex05: Mark, why do you always say that retail
options traders trade Delta and professionals trade Vega?
Email question from Evan - Atlanta, GA: Can you guys explain
the importance of dividends to an options trader? That seems
particularly important given the recent snafu over SPY dividends.
Why are dividends important to options traders and how should it
affect my options trading?
Facebook question from Mike Debrasse: I'm hearing a lot about
this being a "low volatility environment." Apparently, that makes
it difficult for options traders. Why is that? Why does options
volume drop so dramatically when volatility goes down? Should I
wait to trade options before volatility/vega goes up? Thanks for
your help.
