🚨 Hey all! Thanks for supporting the channel! If you’d like to see a more in depth breakdown of our current trading systems, we put together a quick video here - skyviewtrading.co/3YhhDhx
I have to agree with other commenters here. I've taken so many courses and this is the ONE thing they don't explain well. I guess it's so understood by them that they believe you already get it. However, when you're teaching someone with zero experience, it needs to be taught as if I am in kindergarten. I need EVERY detail. Bravo!
Agreed, this is the best course I've seen in the subject of Options. Glad it's free, when they charge for courses it's pretty much guaranteed they don't know what they're talking about.
or maybe it's because they don't understand it as much as this guy. generally the more you understand something the better equipped you are to explain it to someone who doesn't know
For someone like me, a beginner and one who has (soon to be disabled) belief system that I am not smart enough to do trading, you have helped me so much. I appreciate you and won't forget the lessons here on your channel.
I have been wanting to understand the logics behind trading options lvl 2 and man you have done exactly how my brain can process it. Thanks man now I just got to trust in the process
Thank you ao much ive listen and read explanations of options trading and probably fully understood 1/3 of it. This is going to change so much I can not thank you enough
Thanks for the video. I think what is missing from this comversation is that when you buy stock, even if your are wrong, you don't loose your money, you can wait the stock to make the move but in case of option, if you are wrong or if stock moved slowly than expected, the option will expire worthless and you will loose that money.
Thanks for the feedback! It's a good point. However, I will also say that there is no guarantee the stock ever makes the move you need. Also, and more importantly, it costs a lot of money to buy shares of stock compared with buying options. Therefore, there is a case to be made that your money is put to better use trading the options rather than holding the shares of stock and tying up that money for all that time. Hopefully that helps!
I’m very new to trading so this question will be dumb You say we can only loose what we pay as far as the premium for the option but where does the stop loss come in is that something that allow traders to not pay the full premium?
Hey! Awesome to hear you are new and eager to learn more. You could put in a stop loss if you wanted to. For example, you buy the option for $1.00 ($100 per contract). You can put in a stop loss to close the option at $0.25. At that point it would be worth $25. You'd only lose $75, rather than the full $100 that the option was worth when you bought it. Hopefully that makes sense!
Hello! Most stocks have put skew, meaning puts trade more expensive than calls. That's because the perceived risk is to the downside, so the put premiums are a bit inflated compared to the calls. Hope that helps!
Hello! We use TastyTrade as our preferred broker for members. They cater to option traders like us. We are also familiar with TD and their ThinkorSwim trading platform.
Greets, Sky View Trading! I concur with my fellow traders, you make this stuff super easy to understand - hats off to you and your team! One question I had, at approximately 2:35, you came up with an Exit value for the first Call option at $9.00, which equates to the Intrinsic value of the contract. Where would we find these values? Will that rule be the same for all of the other call options down the list, simply the intrinsic value? Because that first figure you derived, $9.00, was for an option call that was actually for a stock price below the entry price of $122. Will the subsequent exit values of option calls 122 through 125 also be determined by just the intrinsic value of the contract, or will it include the extrinsic value, or some other additional values as well? Thanks in advance for any additional clarification!
Hey Ronnie! Thanks for the kind words! Yes, at expiration all options are worth their intrinsic value. So the 122-125 and all the option strikes for that matter are worth their intrinsic value at expiration. The extrinsic value is all the "time value" left. At expiration there is no more time value, so it's all intrinsic value. The platform shows us both the intrinsic value and the price of the option at any time if we want to see it. We can also just do the math for the intrinsic value, which is simply the amount the strike is In The Money by. Hopefully that makes sense!
Hello! You can close the position with a click of a button, just like when you enter a position! You can also put stop losses on stock and ETF option trades if you want.
So if you close the long call position by selling the option, do you then assume the risk of the contract on the other end by becoming a seller? I'm confused about how this doesn't turn into a perpetual roundabout of assuming and divesting of risk on the initial trade. Appreciate any explanations!
Hello! I understand your confusion. But no, once you close the long call option by selling it you don't assume the risk of the contract on the other end. Because you have "flattened out" your position. For example, your position shows +1 call. If you then sell that call, your position goes back to 0 (or no position). Hopefully that makes sense!
@@skyviewtrading Thanks for the speedy and well-explained reply! A quick follow up if I may: I still need someone on the other end to buy the option, correct? So liquidity has to be good enough for me to get filled at a reasonable bid/ask spread? I'm trying to figure out if closing a position is the same as selling to a market maker firm who warehouses stock, or if I am in fact selling it to another person who is buying the option through the broker.
We cover the buying and selling of both puts and calls, and also strategies when you combine them. For example, the strangle strategy is when you sell a put and a call at the same time. Hopefully that makes sense!
If I have an account with a balance of $180 and I wanted to buy a contract at 2.63 x 100 = 263. Obviously I will not be able to do this. So should I change the limit order to be much smaller like 0.26 or would that not work. Essentially my question is how should we find contracts and trade limits to fit our account balance amount.
Hello! With that account size you could put the order in for $1.80 or less, but the option price needs to trade down there in order for you to get filled. With a smaller account size, I would recommend papertrading for a little while to gain some skills while you save up more money for your trading account. Hopefully that makes sense!
@@skyviewtrading I am subscribed to your channel so happy to see these content. I am studying a masters in Quantitative Finance so just this week I watched parts 1-2-3 on trading options . Great stuff!!
Hmm thanks for letting us know. It seems to be working when I try on my computer though. What happens when you click the button? Can you maybe try using a different web browser?
Wonderful Explanation, looks like very well organized and well-professional audio process. I love this video. Can you let me know how to enroll with you to get a more professional stock services plan? you can send me a private message to discuss.
You're correct. Thanks for pointing that out. Since a stock can't go negative, technically the max profit is defined. Although just a theory, we like to think of the max profit on both sides (calls and puts) as being defined by the 2 or 3 standard deviation mark. Of course that extends beyond this video lesson though!
@@skyviewtrading unless the puts are for commodities like oil, which can go negative as we have seen 2-3 years ago. I do wonder if the prices of puts on commodities in general increased as we experienced this scenario.
@@skyviewtrading haha I was being sarcastic. Glad to see an upload again! I hope you've been well. By the way, if you aren't having a good time making youtube videos, don't worry about it. As much as I like your videos, I rather you pursue your passion and do the thing you enjoy. For time being, welcome back! :)

I agree. There were a few things that were missed and the PUT option should have been explained in the same walk through as the CALL option.
