Strangle Swaps consist of a short strangle along with a long strangle in a further expiration month. Paul discusses the benefits as well as vulnerabilities of these positions. He breaks down these positions into their component parts and shows you how to choose the right strike prices and the appropriate months in order to intelligently allocate your risk between market movement and changes in implied volatility while earning positive time decay. He also explains when and how to adjust these spreads in response to changes in the market by showing you examples using OptionVue 6 software.

Trading Ratio Spreads and "Tree" Spreads

In this webinar, you will learn about the market environment that's suitable for these types of trades, how to choose the appropriate strikes, and how to adjust positions. Paul demonstrates ratio spreads and "tree" spreads using OptionVue 6.

Trading In Turbulent Times
Running time 55 minutes.
Markets are in a perpetual state of flux; however, at this time we are seeing choppiness and trending moves in many commodity and index markets accompanied by rising implied volatility (IV). Options traders, of course, have a choice. They can initiate spread positions that benefit from market movement (but incur negative time decay and lose when IV decreases) or they can initate spreads that benefit from positive time decay (but are vulnerable to market movement and to an increase in IV). Paul shows you how he constructs option spreads for different directional and volatility outlooks in key markets like the S&P 500 (SP), US Treasury Bonds (US), Eurocurrency (EC), Japanese Yen (JY), Gold (GC), and Crude Oil (CL). Paul shows you how he uses OptionVue 6 software to generate Graphic Analyses and to display each spread's Greek variables.

Using Volatility When Structuring Options Spreads
Running time is 65 minutes.
The concept of "volatility" is critically important for options traders; however, it's often misunderstood. This webinar covers both statistical volatility (SV) and implied volatility (V). Paul defines each type of volatility, gives you examples showing their significance, and explains two different ways of determining if options are under or over-valued. He tells you what volatility skewing is all about and shows you which markets possess a "positive skew" and which possesses a "negative skew." More importantly, Paul explains how to use skewing when structuring your options spreads.
