When it comes to selling options on futures, there are several trading strategies that accomplish the goal of premium collection; However, not all market approaches come with the same risks, even if the reward is similar.  For instance, a trader wishing to collect $1,000 in premium could sell a single option relatively close-to-the-money (the strike price of the option is near the current futures price), or he could sell ten deep-out-of-the-money options for $100 each.  The reward is the same, but the risk is far different in regard frequency and magnitude.  Join experienced futures and options broker, Carley Garner, to discuss the characteristics of each approach to option selling.
