Angebote / Angebote:

Commodities are hot! Investors worldwide are discovering the huge opportunities available through commodity options trading. However, because commodities have differing underlying characteristics from equities, commodity options behave differently as well. In this book, two of the field's most respected analysts present strategies built from the ground up for commodity options. Carley Garner and Paul Brittain begin with a quick primer on how commodity options work, how they evolved, and why conventional options strategies often fail in commodity options markets. Next, using detailed examples based on their own extensive research, they show how to leverage the unique characteristics of commodity options in your own trades. You walk through trades from top to bottom, master both long- and short-option approaches, and learn powerful strategies usually ignored in options books. For example, the authors introduce synthetic swing trading strategies that systematically remove volatility from the market, and demonstrate the best ways to cope with margin calls. The characteristics of each strategy are illuminated through easy-to-understand bullet points. The authors emphasize profit and loss potential, and provide break-even calculations. Examples are presented in both text and charts, together with their potential risks and rewards.
