Excellent information. An outstanding, thorough, and understandable description of option trading's definition and operation. I am an old-timer who has been selling call options on my dividend portfolio for a while now. I am retired and have free time. I wish I had discovered this information decades earlier! Many people might find this useful, so thank you very much. My retirement has undoubtedly benefited from selling covered calls.
To better understand the factors that could affect your finances as a beginner. To make the best decision, speak with a financial professional. They have a wealth of information regarding both current events and upcoming developments.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications.

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

This is the best options intro presentation I have ever seen, and I have been at it for 13 years. Wish I had this content presented to me when I started.
Trading options isn't as superficial as selling shares at a given demand price. Options traders and investors are at the mercy of the bid-ask spread, and this is not good.
How do I start, who will guide me and what are the risks involved. These are the questions on the minds of a lot of people. Nice video but this questions is yet to be answered.
Very good information. An impressive, comprehensive and easy to follow explanation of what option trading is and how it works. I am an old timer, retired and with time on my hands, who has been selling call options on my dividend portfolio for some time. Oh if only I had learned this information decades ago! Thank you so much, I think this may help many others out. Selling coverd calls has certainly been a boon to my retirement.
Thank you so much for this teaching. I know this is what you do for a living, but letting us in on your wisdom and freely teaching us all these concepts leveled me up in options understanding years in a short time. Well done, all who were involved in the making of this video.
Seth is a great educator! I've been trading options for several years, but every time finding something valuable in his presentations. Helps to build "muscle memory", as he precisely allegorized it. Excellent work, thank you!!
It's about time someone makes since out of options, and one of the most profitable ways to trade it. You got my attention when you stated that 75% of option trade expire and lose money buying them. And the edge to making money in this game is to sell them with an emergency strategy. That was very interesting. I'm going to invest in this training and see for myself if this edge really exist. Thank you .
Concluding 2023 with a 20% decline in the S&P 500, long-term investors find a promising entry into 2024. Noteworthy ETFs include: $VOO for S&P 500, $VTI for total US market, $QQQ for tech growth, and $SCHD for growth with dividends. Calculating my annual dividends, I'm thankful for $167k-attributing it to discipline and focus.
In the past month, my "unexciting" index funds provided me with over $6,000 in dividends, giving me the option to spend without selling shares. Currently, I've opted to reinvest the dividends to acquire additional index funds for future growth.
Seeking advice on dependable monthly investment options. My goal is to eventually enhance my work income with consistent monthly returns from investments, alongside my long-term investment strategy, for a supplementary monthly income.
Definitely! All of this happened in less than a year after *Camille Alicia Garcia* told me what to do. I started with less than $100,000, and now I'm about 17,000 short of having a quarter million dollars.
I'm going to sign up. I got destroyed today on SPX, running paper money. Fantastic experience - watched it drop like a rock and said "let's ride this all the way down". I learned a ton about the effects emerging variation and time-dependency of value (at least in this occurrence). I'm a nervous novice, but also an ops and data science guy by trade - kid in a candy store. I really appreciate your channel - magnitudes higher quality that most of the content out there.
Great video, I'm a former series 7 and 63 rep just getting involved in options trading after a 20 year hiatus and definitely need these refresher courses. I've always said options are like anything else, use it or lose it.
Thank you for this. I have tried watching other presentations and they don't explain the sell side nearly as in depth as you. I learned a lot. Thanks for the American vs European explanation and the Iron Butterfly. You earned a Sub.
Thanks for the nice video. The margin aspect wasn’t covered much. Naked sell options make more money but needs more margin or for same margin amount less lots can be traded. With hedged positions more lots can be traded so can potentially match the profit of naked trades
May Allah bless Ronal’ for his help. I’m glad my doubts have been cleared, and i received my profit from last week’s investment. Keep up the great work
Such great content!! Although, I’d recommend pausing the video on each slide and taking old school notes to include timestamps SMB, you have a loyal subscriber here, this is awesome!!
Kicking off the year with high hopes, especially for Bitcoin! Let’s be honest: while hodling has its perks, waiting for those skyrocket moments alone misses the mark. Day trading’s brought me steady growth thanks to James Whisman’s guidance and daily insights. Couldn’t have done it without him
Exciting times ahead with the halving approaching day trading could be key to making the most of these swings. Stay focused and ready for the market’s moves!
With world markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing interest-rate hikes, the treasury yields rising rapidly, markets mlarge anipulations, and ma profits from all these investing BS.ny other factors makes me wonder if people still make
From today I have made 3.301% on my trading account. I'm almost 65 Y.O. and am using this extra money to help pay for odds and ends that I want as a retiree. Anyone can do it with the correct knowledge, skills, and patience. Best of luck to you going forward.
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I have stuck with the popularly ‘’NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Trading? I have zero idea how it works. I have money stashed away but instead of lying idle, I want to put it to work to make me residual income. How are you doing it?
Well, I've gotten into a plethora of assets with $73k spread across stocks (options and futures) for short term and index funds, and ETFs, for the long term. I've been investing with help from a pro fund manager, Herman W Jonas who oversees my investments. Now I sit back and reap my dividends while I just reinvest from time to time.
@Allandexx Your assistance was helpful. I was able to have a conversation with him. What's even better is that he's certified with a registered broker. I'm getting started right away!
I'm glad to say that I'm one this who Herman has helped tremendously. I was able to recoup my losses within a short span under his tutelage. Can’t even express how grateful I am coming across him.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Catherine Gauthier.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
I completely agree with you! My first 100k took a long time and wasn't that special to be honest with you. Once I hit 300K that is the game changer in my opinion. At this point my money is basically making me a pretty good yearly salary. When I go to sleep at night I know my money is making decent money with the help of my FA!!
flailing U.S. economy and elevated global tensions reduce the likelihood of prolonged inflation or higher long-term Treasury yields. All my focus right now is how to safeguard and improve my $2m portfolio from market changes based on the conflict in the middle east.
It's precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. With the Ongoing war Between Israel and Palestine, You don't have to act on every forecast, hencei will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Agreed, instead of panic or following a hearsay, I simply adopted the service of an advisor early 2020 amid covid-outbreak, and so far, I've attained my most measurable financial milestone of $650k after subsequent investments.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her a outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
Hi, SMB, first of all I want to thank you for your contents you put out every week. I am grateful I can always count on you guys to provide world class video information on trading. When I watch one of your long training videos, I always like to stop and take notes while I am watching to make sure I understand everything you are teaching. Since your videos teaches so well and clear, I rarely have questions that cant be answered just by watching a few more times. However, for the 1st time, I do have a question on one of your slides on put options. It states "If the put buyer is wrong: Call seller just pockets the premium he received for taking the bet". Does the put buyer buy from a call seller or a put seller? both?
If the put buyer is wrong (the stock price doesn't drop below the strike price), the put option expires worthless, and the put seller keeps the premium.
great information thank you so much I am trying to learn more in depth and have a few questions, minute 47:50 call credit spread the contract you sell (lower strike) and the contract you buy (higher strike) what parameters do you use to pick the strike, since I check the volume on different strikes since I am afraid I wouldn't be able to sell the contract with low volume at a higher price, and what could go wrong with the iron butterfly and how could you lose money?
Thank you Sir for great insights about Basics of Option trading. Kindly plan for Option Greeks respect to choose Strategy, Strike price and when do go for adjustments. Best wishes!!!
Hi @stockmarket9449 thanks for your kind comments. Are you requesting a video on explaining how to manage the options greeks through making adjustments to your original strategy? Please elaborate.
@@sethfreudberg4750 Yes Sir , starting from looking option Greeks values on different strike prices of last n days historical values and time to expire, to choose the particular strategy having good edging to take trade with appropriate strike price ( legs) . Also adjusting the taken original trade based on Greeks values during "In Trade". Thank you Sir!
Great video Thanks for sharing! The question remains if everybody sells cause of what you explained in the video, who wants to buy options? thanks again!
I'm an aspiring trader who would rather learn from other traders' experience than investing in the market myself, in anticipation of the next bull run. What are your thoughts on copy trading as well? Do individuals actually earn a living? Just trying to get some reassurance. I want to have a healthy portfolio worth at least $850,000. Reliable inputs please.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
I appreciate this. After curiously searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
If I have some call options in the money & don't have the cash on hand to purchase the total number of shares. Will my brokerage firm automatically sell them? Or am I expected to have the cash on hand to fulfill the obligation purchase prior to selling for profit
57.22 There a typo in the upside breakeven bullet point? The previous slides showed that we already make money when the price reaches 1885.23 which is outside of the specified range.
Great course!…But This video course is missing to set each chapter or topic by time in the details section , so we can see All topics and click in the exact topic we want to see…
Good morning everyone, this lesson was inspiring for me.... but I didn't understand in the explanation of the Iron Butterfly at minute 57.03 why the downsize break even is calculated with 1800-81.15= 1718.85 instead it shouldn't be 1886.61-81.15 = 1805.46 ? Many thanks in advance. Gianluca from Milan
Great content, as always! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
There's something I don't finish to understand. In the video (and books) says that you don't make gains on a Call option unless the expiration price be higher than the strike price. But, I see people open and closing positions, trading the price of the option that makes gain even below the strike price. An explanation would be welcome, thanks.
My favorite vid u guys ever made was turning a losing iron fly into a winning iron condor. What about a losing iron condor? Can you guys make a video on how to trade or roll a losing iron condor?
You know how you react when someone is speaking a language foreign to your own? That is me when I start listening to options experts. Made several runs at this over the decades but could never quite get to the level of understanding needed to participate.
Exciting to kick off the year focusing on Bitcoin! Hodling is great, but day trading has given me a new level of growth with consistent gains, all thanks to James Whisman’s daily insights. Couldn’t have done it without his support
In your example of the Iron Butterfly that is non directional, the upside breakeven is only $1 above the original current price......so the profit range is almost all down from the original stock price of 1880. Sounds like this only works when the stock is down ( so it is a directional strategy)?
I am trading from few years in options trying different different things didn't have any mentor build from scratch its one of the big mistake but from 7 month working on same setup everyday with good rr and 3 trades a day rule still sometimes its hard due to psychology, well for anyone reading big suggestion find setup try it with 1 lot look at the result for at least 6 month and one more only one instrument is enough don't jump everywhere you see momentum "don't be jack of all be master of one" then plan for more capital unless don't touch it its doomsday .
@SMBCAPITAL - At 18:35, when you discuss the expiration and pay out of an in the money put option, shouldn’t the payout be $20,000 (based on the 200 point difference x $100 per point?) 🤔

Definitely! All of this happened in less than a year after *Camille Alicia Garcia* told me what to do. I started with less than $100,000, and now I'm about 17,000 short of having a quarter million dollars.
Thank you. I will search on her site online and do my due diligence. If She seem proficient. I write her an email and scheduled a phone call.
Gonna have to watch this a couple times.
I'm going to sign up. I got destroyed today on SPX, running paper money. Fantastic experience - watched it drop like a rock and said "let's ride this all the way down". I learned a ton about the effects emerging variation and time-dependency of value (at least in this occurrence). I'm a nervous novice, but also an ops and data science guy by trade - kid in a candy store. I really appreciate your channel - magnitudes higher quality that most of the content out there.
Thank you ttfweb1 we do our best to provide high quality content.
I watched a few options courses and this is by far the best one I've come across. Great information and examples.
thank you! we tried to pack everything in there we could
Great video, I'm a former series 7 and 63 rep just getting involved in options trading after a 20 year hiatus and definitely need these refresher courses. I've always said options are like anything else, use it or lose it.
Just Curious, but Have you done time before
Might be a little mistake at 18:36 or I misunderstood it says it has a difference of 20 between 2950 and 2750. It is supposed to be 200.
I came here to say this. Had to look and re-look like 5 times. Definitely a typo.
I was going to ask about this too.
This guy is a great teacher hands down!
This really is brilliant. detailed but not congested delivery what makes it easy to digest. Thank you !
Thanks for finally actually explaining it and not all the stupid stuff like "I sell apple coverd call" other youtubers suck
Thank you for this. I have tried watching other presentations and they don't explain the sell side nearly as in depth as you. I learned a lot. Thanks for the American vs European explanation and the Iron Butterfly. You earned a Sub.
Thanks for the nice video.
The margin aspect wasn’t covered much. Naked sell options make more money but needs more margin or for same margin amount less lots can be traded. With hedged positions more lots can be traded so can potentially match the profit of naked trades
Excellent presentation! I learned more from this video than the previous 6 videos on options.
Appreciate you starting out with definitions, thus standing above other so called basic courses which erroneously assume you know the basics.
Sir Ronal’ has offered profits to investors who wish to recover losses including myself and it’s a great honor to be part of them 🥳
he’s mostly on Telegrams, using the user.
# Ronalfx2
Thank you Ronal’ for your TA 💯. I’m excited how my trading is going so far. I’m on $1m challenge right now. Already earning $35k weekly
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Ronal’
$32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy
May Allah bless Ronal’ for his help. I’m glad my doubts have been cleared, and i received my profit from last week’s investment. Keep up the great work
Amazing course, just want to keep learning from this channel.
Such great content!! Although, I’d recommend pausing the video on each slide and taking old school notes to include timestamps
SMB, you have a loyal subscriber here, this is awesome!!
What is the best strategy to enter trading now for someone with more or less than $25k?
you need a pro or very goodTrader. Someone like Stephany Reuben
stephany reuben stands out from other brokers because she's practical, unlike those who set unattainable goals and fail
Steph excels at capitalizing on economic shifts and I have confidence in her trades
How can i find her?
F.B
There, her name is Stephany Reuben
Kicking off the year with high hopes, especially for Bitcoin! Let’s be honest: while hodling has its perks, waiting for those skyrocket moments alone misses the mark. Day trading’s brought me steady growth thanks to James Whisman’s guidance and daily insights. Couldn’t have done it without him
Exciting times ahead with the halving approaching day trading could be key to making the most of these swings. Stay focused and ready for the market’s moves!
This is a great video, thank you so much. I have watched a lot of trading videos and this is a real standout.
Glad it was helpful!
18:38 the difference between index closing price and strike is 200 so the put buyer would make 20,000 (200x100) profit
With world markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing interest-rate hikes, the treasury yields rising rapidly, markets mlarge anipulations, and ma profits from all these investing BS.ny other factors makes me wonder if people still make
From today I have made 3.301% on my trading account. I'm almost 65 Y.O. and am using this extra money to help pay for odds and ends that I want as a retiree. Anyone can do it with the correct knowledge, skills, and patience. Best of luck to you going forward.
Actually in the USA right now inflation is down to 3.24%, interest rate hikes have stopped and treasury yields are dropping.
Where did you learn?
Am I the only one who caught the math mistake. 2950-2750. Is not 20. I believe it’s 200. 200x100=20,000$
and me also man!🙂
No. Ur not the only one. You didn’t need common core math to catch it
Thanks. The best online option trading courses.
Great video. Adding Time stamps will be helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks @Divamisi24
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
Well as you know bigger risk, bigger results, but such impeccable high-value trades are often carried out by pros.
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I have stuck with the popularly ‘’NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
This video is honestly a life changer for me! Well done, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH 🎉👏🏻
Are you making money now?
Hey! @18:36 wouldn't that be $20,000.00? the difference between 2950 and 2750 is 200, times $100.
18:47 agree. 🤓 Came to see if the comment was already here.
correct
Good I thought I missed something
In the long haul, trading has been the only investment that makes sense over time since it’s been highly remunerative for me.
Trading? I have zero idea how it works. I have money stashed away but instead of lying idle, I want to put it to work to make me residual income. How are you doing it?
Well, I've gotten into a plethora of assets with $73k spread across stocks (options and futures) for short term and index funds, and ETFs, for the long term. I've been investing with help from a pro fund manager, Herman W Jonas who oversees my investments. Now I sit back and reap my dividends while I just reinvest from time to time.
How can I get in touch with him? Hearing from a pro won't be a bad idea.
@Allandexx
Your assistance was helpful. I was able to have a conversation with him. What's even better is that he's certified with a registered broker. I'm getting started right away!
I'm glad to say that I'm one this who Herman has helped tremendously. I was able to recoup my losses within a short span under his tutelage. Can’t even express how grateful I am coming across him.
Thank you for so generously sharing your "wisdom from the trenches."
Thanks @NewHampshireJack. I went to the school of hard knocks. Just sharing what I learned :)
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Catherine Gauthier.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
You trade with Catherine Gauthier too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
she's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name
GAUTHIER6 💯 ..that's it
Great video, The first $100,000 invested was amazing. But when you hit $300,000 it’s like smashing the glass ceiling! I cried.
I completely agree with you! My first 100k took a long time and wasn't that special to be honest with you. Once I hit 300K that is the game changer in my opinion. At this point my money is basically making me a pretty good yearly salary. When I go to sleep at night I know my money is making decent money with the help of my FA!!
flailing U.S. economy and elevated global tensions reduce the likelihood of prolonged inflation or higher long-term Treasury yields. All my focus right now is how to safeguard and improve my $2m portfolio from market changes based on the conflict in the middle east.
It's precisely at times like these that investors need to be on
guard against the next certainty. With the Ongoing war Between Israel and Palestine, You don't have to act on every forecast, hencei will suggest you get yourself a
financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit
points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Agreed, instead of panic or following a hearsay, I simply adopted the service of an advisor early 2020 amid covid-outbreak, and so far, I've attained my most measurable financial milestone of $650k after subsequent investments.
Impressive can you share more info?
credits to NICOLE DESIREE SIMON, one of the best portfolio manager;s out there. she;s well known, you should look her up
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her a outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
I learned so much and you are a great teacher too. Thanks
thank you so much for this generous offering
Hi, SMB, first of all I want to thank you for your contents you put out every week. I am grateful I can always count on you guys to provide world class video information on trading. When I watch one of your long training videos, I always like to stop and take notes while I am watching to make sure I understand everything you are teaching. Since your videos teaches so well and clear, I rarely have questions that cant be answered just by watching a few more times. However, for the 1st time, I do have a question on one of your slides on put options. It states "If the put buyer is wrong: Call seller just pockets the premium he received for taking the bet". Does the put buyer buy from a call seller or a put seller? both?
If the put buyer is wrong (the stock price doesn't drop below the strike price), the put option expires worthless, and the put seller keeps the premium.
great information thank you so much I am trying to learn more in depth and have a few questions, minute 47:50 call credit spread the contract you sell (lower strike) and the contract you buy (higher strike) what parameters do you use to pick the strike, since I check the volume on different strikes since I am afraid I wouldn't be able to sell the contract with low volume at a higher price, and what could go wrong with the iron butterfly and how could you lose money?
Thanks for the explanation, very helpful for beginners like me who are learning in the nfc community.
This guy really understand how to make money on trading😃
Thank you Sir for great insights about Basics of Option trading. Kindly plan for Option Greeks respect to choose Strategy, Strike price and when do go for adjustments. Best wishes!!!
Hi @stockmarket9449 thanks for your kind comments. Are you requesting a video on explaining how to manage the options greeks through making adjustments to your original strategy? Please elaborate.
@@sethfreudberg4750 Yes Sir , starting from looking option Greeks values on different strike prices of last n days historical values and time to expire, to choose the particular strategy having good edging to take trade with appropriate strike price ( legs) .
Also adjusting the taken original trade based on Greeks values during "In Trade". Thank you Sir!
This is excellent - very clearly presented! Thank you!
Great video Thanks for sharing! The question remains if everybody sells cause of what you explained in the video, who wants to buy options? thanks again!
Thanks Mike and SMB Team 🙌🙏.
Excellent presentation. Nice and crisp.
I'm an aspiring trader who would rather learn from other traders' experience than investing in the market myself, in anticipation of the next bull run. What are your thoughts on copy trading as well? Do individuals actually earn a living? Just trying to get some reassurance. I want to have a healthy portfolio worth at least $850,000. Reliable inputs please.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?
MICHELE KATHERINE SINGH is who i work with and she is a hot topic even among financial elitist . Just browse, you’d find her, thank me later.
I appreciate this. After curiously searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
If I have some call options in the money & don't have the cash on hand to purchase the total number of shares. Will my brokerage firm automatically sell them? Or am I expected to have the cash on hand to fulfill the obligation purchase prior to selling for profit
It's great information, and I appreciate you, Sir!!
Outstanding information, big fan of the channel, keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
at 6:11 the net profit should be=$19000-$18000-$350=$9650
at cost of $350 which is 9650/350= X27.5 multiplier . correct me if i am wrong
best video I've seen. v ery helpful.
57.22 There a typo in the upside breakeven bullet point? The previous slides showed that we already make money when the price reaches 1885.23 which is outside of the specified range.
Great intro - i have a ton to learn!!!
Great video- thank you. I’m confused though, at 8:17 , ‘“f the put buyer is wrong: call seller…” …should this be PUT seller instead of call seller?
Great options info. I’m a Subscriber now.
Thanks
What is the best way to enter crypto trading for someone with more or less than $5000
You need a proTrader or someone good at navigating the market. Someone like Helena Bente Bakker
True, almost gave up due to constant losses, but Helena turned my luck around
Crazy seeing Helena mentioned here. Not up to two months with her, I cleared my debt of 3 years
How can she be consulted
Hi how can I get through to her? This right here is too complicated for me.
the explanation makes sense. but putting it into practice is a bit confusing. a live trade will help alot
Great course!…But This video course is missing to set each chapter or topic by time in the details section , so we can see All topics and click in the exact topic we want to see…
I'd suggest you take round numbers to explain the examples, as they're way easier to understand.🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing 🌸
Good morning everyone, this lesson was inspiring for me.... but I didn't understand in the explanation of the Iron Butterfly at minute 57.03 why the downsize break even is calculated with 1800-81.15= 1718.85 instead it shouldn't be 1886.61-81.15 = 1805.46 ? Many thanks in advance. Gianluca from Milan
22 minutes in, basically calls are just bets, which is just gambling, I hope there is some strategy to this other than calling bets.
Best options video ever!
Great content, as always! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
There's something I don't finish to understand. In the video (and books) says that you don't make gains on a Call option unless the expiration price be higher than the strike price. But, I see people open and closing positions, trading the price of the option that makes gain even below the strike price. An explanation would be welcome, thanks.
loved the video great review if you already know how to trade options
Justin are you saying that you have some options education, but that this served as a good refresher course?
@@sethfreudberg4750 exactly sir
My favorite vid u guys ever made was turning a losing iron fly into a winning iron condor. What about a losing iron condor? Can you guys make a video on how to trade or roll a losing iron condor?
I would prefer if the video did not assume traders were male. Thanks for sharing such great quality lessons.
I'm not a beginner, but I'm looking for more success :)
You know how you react when someone is speaking a language foreign to your own?
That is me when I start listening to options experts. Made several runs at this over the decades but could never quite get to the level of understanding needed to participate.
Exciting to kick off the year focusing on Bitcoin! Hodling is great, but day trading has given me a new level of growth with consistent gains, all thanks to James Whisman’s daily insights. Couldn’t have done it without his support
Best video out!
Great lesson on option trading.
Thank you for explaining this to me... simple!😊😊😊
In your example of the Iron Butterfly that is non directional, the upside breakeven is only $1 above the original current price......so the profit range is almost all down from the original stock price of 1880. Sounds like this only works when the stock is down ( so it is a directional strategy)?
What is a good options platform? I have Tradingview and it's like using a sledgehammer to drive a tack.
Trying to learn options. Thank you for the video, Seth and SMB🙏
@Yogninacharya2150 keep watching and you'll learn more!
Thanks for the video! I’m wondering why SBM capital is teaching us how to option trade? Only because they are nice?!
56:58 check your calculation, is it 1800 or 1880?, break even bands sit at 1798 to1960
It's 1880. Thanks for showing the correction.
Please make Stock trading course like this one .
coming...
it's coming soon! Garrett is presenting that one and also had Lance do one, editing that one now
I am trading from few years in options trying different different things didn't have any mentor build from scratch its one of the big mistake but from 7 month working on same setup everyday with good rr and 3 trades a day rule still sometimes its hard due to psychology, well for anyone reading big suggestion find setup try it with 1 lot look at the result for at least 6 month and one more only one instrument is enough don't jump everywhere you see momentum "don't be jack of all be master of one" then plan for more capital unless don't touch it its doomsday .
Another magnificent video thank.....
So much data, thanks.
Absolutely incredible vid! Simple to understand. Thank you.
@SMBCAPITAL - At 18:35, when you discuss the expiration and pay out of an in the money put option, shouldn’t the payout be $20,000 (based on the 200 point difference x $100 per point?) 🤔
Are there specific option Greek levels that you have to be aware of when buying deep-in-the-money call options for it to be a safe strategy?
Thank you.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
