Extreme Trading: Counter-Trend Option Selling
Extreme Trading: Counter-Trend Option Selling
Thursday, November 18, 2010 | 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
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 option volatility. We believe that option selling offers traders ample room for error and relatively attractive odds of success from a statistical standpoint...but that doesn't mean timing is irrelevant. After all, option selling involves unlimited risk and being sloppy isn't an "option."
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 find out how bucking the trend, and popular opinion, can work toward shifting your break-even point and risk favorably away from the market.
Topics discussed include:
Why option selling and who should consider selling them?
Is the trend really the friend of an option seller?
Timing is everything
Shopping for premium
Maximizing premium collected
Why letting options expire worthless might be foolish
Reacting to Adverse Price and Volatility Moves

Richard Stooker Reviews ATFBC
This book lives up to its title pretty well. If you've wondered about trading commodities and futures, this is a good introduction.
Do not expect or plan to start trading after you read it. She doesn't pretend to tell you how to trade to make lots of money. She gives you the basics so you at least know the terminology and how these markets work.
I would haggle a little bit. She mentions a few times that when...
