Upcoming CBOE Seminar: Dan Sheridan

A couple people have confused me with Dan Sheridan, but alas I am not he. However you are not going to want to miss his expertise in trading options and if you live near Huntington Beach, California or like me close to Chicago you have an opportunity in the next couple of months to learn from him how to adjust your credit spread trades (another question I am frequently asked).

Check out the curriculum of the upcoming new for 2010 seminar –

Everything you ever wanted to know about options orders (Marty Kearney, Peter Lusk or Jim Bittman) Develop realistic expectations for how option prices change. Learn how to enter in option orders from former Market Makers.

Credit Spread Webinars: 2 must attends

If you trade credit spreads it is a must for you to attend 2 webinars coming up from the CBOE Options Institute –

Option Trading: Understanding the VIX®
Brian Overby, TradeKing
Thursday, July 9, 2009 | 3:30 – 4:30 pm Central

The Options Institute & TRADEKING present, “Option Trading: Understanding the VIX®” presented by Brian Overby, TradeKing’s Senior Options Analyst and author of The Options Playbook. Before you decide to trade the VIX, be sure to join Brian as he demystifies VIX options by explaining what a volatility index is, what the VIX represents, how the VIX is priced and what it says about the marketplace.

This is an absolute must because your premiums or what your profit is from selling options is controlled by the volatility. Knowing the volatility index and where it is going can help you time when to purchase and when to sell options. In credit spread trading you are selling options so it is important to have a complete understanding of volatility. This will be a must attend webinar.

The other CBOE webinar –

Steve Lentz’s Credit Spread Campaigning
Steve Lentz, DiscoverOptions
Thursday, July 23, 2009 | 3:30 – 4:30 PM Central

An obvious one to attend as it is about credit spreads. To sign up for these webinars just head on over to the CBOE Options Institute, sign up for free and then register for these upcoming webinars.

Ratio Spreads with Jim Bitman

Did you miss the Ratio Spread Webinar with Jim Bitman in May? I told you about it here – CBOE Webinar Ratio Spreads

Well now is your second chance to get to that webinar because CBOE is offering it again. Ratio Spreads with Jim Bittman Special Webcast Presentation with Hamzei Analytics. Ratio Spreads as a Premium-Selling Alternative

Here’s the scoop –

Are these high-volatility markets getting you down? Have your iron condor and short-option strategies blown up? How about a delta-, gamma- and vega-neutral strategy (almost) that profits from time decay and gives you a near-break-even exit strategy if another killer move against you happens? Jim Bittman, Senior Instructor at The Options Institute of CBOE, discusses the positives and pitfalls of ratio spreads.

It will be on this Thursday at 4PM to 6PM Central Time at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/928178048
