You’ve heard the hype. Now learn the truth

Know this: Making money with options is possible, not guaranteed.

You will discover whether you have what it takes to become a winner.

Options were invented as risk-reducing tools, and that’s how I believe they should be used. Reduce risk, enhance profits. That’s a winning combination.

You’ve heard that options trading is not for everyone, and it’s the truth. It’s not easy. Learning to use options involves work on your part. If you give that effort, I’ll guide you through the learning process. My writing and teaching style is easy to understand. It contains the details that help YOU understand how options work. To see samples, visit my blog: (Options for Rookies).

Do you prefer to take courses as part of a more formal education? We plan to do that, and are working on preparing those videos.

    Mark,

    I’m responding to your email that says I should “confirm” that I want to participate in your blog and receive emails, and clicked on the link that brought me to this page.

    I certainly do wish to participate and receive emails.

    I’ve read your book and look forward to studying your trades and learning to make adjustments. Also how to use Interactive Brokers to enter combination trades that will give better executions than entering individual legs.

    Permission Granted.

    Thanks,

    Tim

    PS – I had some difficulty entering my credit card info when signing up, and may have signed up twice. If so, sorry for the inconvenience and hope it’s not difficult to refund the extra payment.

    Which indexes do you suggest for iron condor?

    • Mark Wolfinger February 22, 2012 at 8:33 pm #

      Satish,

      If you trade indexes, I recommend one of the three broad-based indexes becasue they are cash-settled, European style options. Those are SPX (or SPXPM), RUT, or NDX.

      Those also have the tax advantage of 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short term.

      I don’t know what size you plan to trade, but if those indexes represent too much size, then I recommend using the ETFs. The three that correspond to these indexes are: SPY, IWM, QQQ. These are American style options and less friendly to trade. Also be aware that SPY pays a quarterly dividend.

      SPX is the least volatile of the three, but many times the trades are reported very slowly. I recommend iron condors with strikes that are 10-points apart – as a place to get started.
