Welcome to my TradeGame video series.
In the video below, I go over the essential/basics of trading options-the "must knows" of option trading. I attempt to "demystify" these relatively simple financial instruments.
In this video I cover what an option actually is, and why as a trader you should be using options to gain leverage. I explain what a call is, what it put is, and other lingo associated with options trading.
Gregory Mannarino
Thanks for breaking this down Greg. I first learned about derivatives when I was working at a Copper mine, we had a contract selling sulfuric acid to another copper mine that tied the price of the sulfuric acid to the monthly average copper price...when the copper price shot up so did the sulfuric acid price on the contract...we made a lot of money from that simple derivative.

The concept may be simple but like everything else, there are risks involved. Do talk about that.

This is the first video I've watched on Steemit. So far, impressions are that it's a bit like a big A4 piece of paper... but I do like that there is no censorship too!

Greg,
Do you know if there are any actual collateral requirements for the Future Markets and what they may be? You always here about the outlandish number of futures contracts sold compared to the collateral held against in case of delivery is taken. Is it the case that essentially and properly licensed company/individual can sell a contract even without collateral with the obligation to deliver if requested?

I understand what you are saying here from running my own test accounts in the past. The only thing that scares me with options and why I haven't really tried to pursue them is because If the trade goes against you, then you get stuck having to buy 100 shares of company XYZ or do u have the choice of actually canceling your contract with a minimal loss and avoid getting stuck with the shares? That's the only part I haven't been able to really understand and quite frankly has kept me from getting involved in options. I've heard you say that you get out if it goes against you and bet the other way but if you get out are you obligated to buy those 100 shares or do you just take a loss? Can you clarify that piece of it in regards to the risk of a bet going against you?

This is one of my favorite videos because I am still learning options. You very clearly explained "the lingo" for example July 50 Calls with company XYZ. Because there are many of us still learning the lingo, I very much appreciated your willingness to teach (us kids still in Kindergarten) in the world of Options. Thanks Greg, I'm going to watch the continuation, and hope you post more teaching video's so I can graduate to 1st grade :)
