Futures & Options Strategy Guide
With the many futures and options strategies available to the trader, it is sometimes hard to keep track of them all. The Strategy Guide illustrates 21 trading strategies in an easy-to-analyse, graphical format. It starts with basic, simple strategies and progresses to more sophisticated option-related strategies like butterfly spreads, ratio spreads and box/conversions. It cross-references each strategy with market sentiment, whether bullish, bearish, or neutral and with volatility, whether rising or falling. For each trade, it details the break-even point, risk and potential gain at expiration as well as "things to watch" along the way. This Guide is a great reference for any trader.
