Extreme Trading ~ Counter-Trend Option Selling
DeCarley Trading has teamed up with PFGBest.com for another FREE virtual event.When : Thursday February 11th @ 4:30 pm EasternWhere : Online through PFGBest.comWhat : Extreme Trading ~ Counter-trend Option SellingCost : You must pay attention Description: Overview:The adage "buy low and sell high" was originally used in reference to price but it can also be applied to the practice of trading implied volatility. We believe that option selling offers traders ample room for error and relatively attractive odds of success from a statistic standpoint but that doesn't mean that timing is irrelevant. Measuring volatility in conjunction with futures price speculation is imperative to favorable entry points for option sellers and could be the key to avoiding the psychological turmoil and catastrophic results that you have probably read about. Come see how Carley Garner and DeCarley Trading determine why and when to sell options! Here is a list of the key points covered in this presentation:- Why Sell Options?
- Who Should Sell Options?
- Is the Trend Really an Option Seller's Friend?
- Timing is Everything
- Shopping for Premium
- Maximizing Premium Collected
- Why Letting Options Expire Worthless Might be Foolish
- Reacting to Adverse Price and Volatility Moves

Carley Garner's latest book, "A Trader's First Book on Commodities" is now available at all major book outlets. Helena Travaka of the Library Journal had this to say about Carley Garner's upcoming book, "A Trader's First Book on Commodities" Garner (Commodity Options), a market analyst and commodities broker, has written an easy-to-understand beginner's guide to commodities trading, commodities being bulk goods traded on a financial exchange, everything from coffee to cocoa, gold, platinum, and currency. She covers the history of commodities trading, the lingo (Chapter 14 does a nice job of defining "Futures Slang and Terminology"), how to choose a brokerage firm, as well as how to find a broker who will work well with your particular needs. Her coverage is international in scope, showing her extensive knowledge, although she is relatively new to the vocation. There is up-to-date information on what to look for when considering commodities trading--from margin calls to stock indexes to maintaining a balanced outlook in the face of possible fear, greed, frustration, or loss. VERDICT Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in exploring the world of commodities trading, whether to do some trading or simply to get a better understanding of this area of finance.--Helena Travka, Cleveland P.L. |

Options 4 Sale ~ Conservative Premium Collection in Risky Markets
DeCarley Trading has teamed up with the New York Institute of Finance for an exclusive one time virtual event. How : Click here to purchase the archive of this class for $25 Description: If you are like most traders, your trading account would be much better off if you had only sold every option that you have ever purchased. This isn't an accident, options are priced to lose. I have witnessed beginning traders lured to the markets in droves looking to participate in long option strategies. Their attraction stems from the fact that option buyers are faced with the prospects of unlimited profit potential and limited risk in the amount of premium paid plus commissions and fees. The hazard in this type of mindset is that although one's losses are limited, it is highly likely that an option buyer will lose some or all of the value of the option. Several studies suggest that more options than not expire worthless, accordingly it seems logical that selling options as opposed to buying them is a preferential strategy. Unfortunately, many retail traders are stuck in a long option only "rut" and may not be aware of the potential flexibility offered by alternative option strategies such as premium collection. I believe option selling to be one of the most attractive forms of trading but proper risk management techniques, appropriate timing and discipline are a must as the risks are high. This is a "must see" for anyone interested in a short option trading strategy. Here are a few highlights of the topics covered: - What is option writing?
- Attempting to playing with "house" odds by applying casino theory to option trading
- Trading implied volatility in conjunction with time value erosion
- Shifting the odds of success in your favor through market timing
- Being aware of technical and fundamental factors
- Break-even calculation
- Risk management
- Selling strangles
- Dealing with margin calls; don't throw in the towel...Adjust!

Chuck Kawalski of About.com recently reviewed "Commodity Options" written by Carley Garner of DeCarley Trading. Here is what he had to say...There are many books written on trading options, but not many are specifically devoted to commodity options. The authors of Commodity Options do an excellent job of covering the basics of commodity options and then transitions into trading them in the real world. Commodity Option StrategiesThe heart of the book deals with various option trading strategies. It is a must to understand which option strategy works best for your trading objective. Options allow you to use numerous combinations to fit almost any risk and profit parameters. Each option strategy is fully explained with a summary of when to use it as well as the risk and profit profiles. The authors give a nice real world explanation of why you would or wouldn’t want to use each strategy. They also take into account brokerage commissions, which can destroy your profit potential on some option spreads.... |

"Use long options sparingly, but remember that there are times in which buying options may be the most rational approach to trading a market."

The decision to trade online or through a full service broker will undoubtedly make a large impact on your bottom line. However, the impact may or may not be what you had in mind. If you aren’t ready to begin placing your orders online on your own, despite saving money on commission it may be the most costly mistake that you ever make. 
Deciding on a brokerage firm is a significant decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before committing to a firm it is imperative that you research their services, experience, trading platforms and commission structure but more importantly whether your trading style and personality will be compatible. For example, a beginning trader shouldn’t look to a deep discount online brokerage firm simply because they likely won’t get the guidance that they will need as a novice. Similarly, a seasoned trader wouldn’t want to choose a firm that focuses on high-end service with a hefty price tag.
