The BIG Basics of Day Trading Options [Online Guide]
HTML-код

- If you are brand new to the stock options market and wanting to learn how to trade options, then this online guide is for you! Let's talk about the big basics of day trading stock options. In this online guide I will show you the various areas of stock options that will help you best understand them in the quickest amount of time. What is the options market? How does the options market work? How much money do you need to trade stock options? I will cover those questions and many more. One of the biggest benefits of the stock options market is how it allows traders with smaller accounts to get involved with higher priced stocks. This will open up many more opportunities compared to having to trade penny stocks and other shady stocks that exist online. As a far warning, if you are someone looking for a massively in-depth mathematical based course on options, this will not be the online guide for you. This guide is intended for those beginners who want to day trade options, but have a very little understanding of how options work. My goal is to insult your intelligence as I show you just how easy understanding options can be and help get you started in pursuing your options trading journey! Let's get to it!

Best thing about Clay he always simplifies complicated stuff. thank you
Happy to help!
Actually none of investing, trading etc is very complicated. Its just stuff not known by everyone. None of it requires high math skills for example,, just simple arithmetic.
@@tecnolover2642 agree
I have been watching your live day trades and I am extremely inspired/motivated to learn how to trade options. I’ve made decent profit from swing trading them but also I have lost a decent chunk of change. It’s time to stop being so lost and confused in the market. Really appreciate your knowledge and wisdom Clay.
I hope you consider my program!
Thanks for another amazing video, Clay. This is exactly what I've been planning on sitting down to learn and you're a great teacher.
Glad to help!
You explained it extremely well. Thank you for making my life easier!
Happy to help!
Great video Clay. I really appreciate your simple and unpretentious teaching style 😁. I also get a laugh out of your lighthearted responses to trolls in the comments on your videos. Keep being you and keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks!
thank you Clay. you are amazing. simple with no fluff.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for this. It took me about five times watching this to understand the basics of options. I know that you made it as simple as possible. I’m just that slow at understanding it. Awesome video.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best Trading Channel on RUclips. I have been subscriber since 2017 and I learned a lot. Thanks man
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for this class professor. 👍
Welcome!
Thanks for helping me understand! Is there a video I could go to next to learn about the more advanced stuff like that bid/ask stuff?
Those videos all exist here claytrader.com/takecontrol
This is absolutely basic, if I was new this would be great. Well done
Thanks for confirming the "basic" nature that was intended. Cheers!
This video is the first one that made sense to me I was able to stay engaged the whole video and learn
Glad to help!
You're amazing. The way you simplify things to the absolute tee is amazing. God bless you.
The idea of putting cup for call and toilet for put is a great idea :D :D
Happy to help!
100% Correct. I’m no expert but this is the only video that I’ve seen that explains the following.
Buying a Call option and stock price rises: Option Value Rises
Buying a Put option and stock price lowers: Options Value Rises
*people usually get confused when buying a PUT thinking the value of the option will lower if the price of the stock lowers.
Yeah, that part can get a bit confusing for people.
I've noticed that you've been trading options lately. Since I tend to trade stocks for longer periods of the time during the day (still a day trader, just not looking to be done in 30 minutes), I prefer to short calls. If you get in at the right times, the decay works in your favor.
Thanks for the thoughts!
Hey clay, hope you see this comment.
Thanks to you, I started trading options in the beginning of 2021. Reason was my small cash account of 5k and with options I had a faster settlement.
I focused 100% on trading options only, managed to get to 25k and changed to a margin account. Since then I trade mostly vertical spreads in either direction. It‘s not all from trading but I‘m just about to hit 100k, and things starting to really take off. I do trade besides my normal job and hope I can someday trade fulltime, even if its in 10 years 👍🏻
I hope you consider joining our community! Lots of option traders in there :-) claytrader.com/team/
Once again, you are the GOAT,
May the universe shower you with infinite blessings and gifts, may you and your family thrive in all areas in life.
Thank you ❤️
Wow, thank you!
Thank you. Options hurt my brain far less now. I needed that.
Glad to help!
Thanks clay great teaching !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great explanation. Thank you Clay.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this amazing video, I didn't have a knowledge about about Trading Options, but now I'm starting to understand it. 😁😁
Glad it was helpful!
This helped me out so much I really do appreciate it
Great!
Question when multiplying the value of the contract by 100 to find out how much money you need in your account to buy that contract. Do you multiply 100 by the strike price? or the bid/ask price? Thank you very much.
I cover this in the video.
omg tks so much that help me a lot👍👍👍
Glad it helped!
Great explanation! I understand now. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Love the training. Was wondering though if you would be willing to Group together all your options video together...all your stock videos together...all your day trade videos together...etc? It would help me go from one video to the next on the same trade topic ...
My structured learning is here: claytrader.com/takecontrol/trading-freedom-pathway-how-it-works/
still the best explanation I've seen on all of youtube fs.
Thanks!
Hey Clay I was interested in your course for trading, but its a little out of my price range. is there a book on options trading that you would personally recommend. love the no bullshit personable videos. seems like your a regular guy that's just passionate about trading. all about the process. lmk thank you.
You could do this: claytrader.com/takecontrol/trading-freedom-pathway-how-it-works/
thank you for this!!
Any time!
awesome stuff bro,,this will help me tremendously
Great to hear!
You're very good at teaching!
Thanks! Glad it could help!
Blessed to have your guidance
Thanks for watching!
Hi Clay. I haven't done any short vol strategies yet (complex to me) and just buy calls or puts. When someone is short volatility, I'm assuming its a mixture of buys as well as sells (option writing). Is this the reason why funds are called 'hedge funds' because of these mixture of legs?
Exactly!
@@claytrader Ah ok, thanks!
@@datugyud you're welcome!
Would it be 100x the bid / ask? Then after that multiply it by the # of contracts? Hopefully I'm understanding that correctly.
it's the value of the contract. No matter if it is the 'bid' or the 'ask'.
@@claytrader Thanks for replying, keep up the great videos.
@@bhii9426 cheers
Let’s get it clay been watching for a bit and I just got into the stock market 📈 5 months ago you’ve helped me gain knowledge and give me confidence ! Turned my 1k to 15k in 3 weeks keeps the videos coming!
I hope you consider taking a small piece of that $15,000 and join our community!
@@claytrader ive been watching for a few years now, and i was scared,no confidence to really do it. Debt didn't help either. I intend to join soon. Thank you for everything you've put out for free on here. Helped a lot of people. Even if it was only 10 or 20 bucks at a time. Thank you.
Cheers and thanks!
Thanks clay I learned a lot from this video
Glad to help
This guy is damn good. Watched his futures videos.
Glad you enjoyed!
they say if you can explain something complicated simply then you have mastered it. ..... this guy is definitely a master.
Glad it helped!
I remember it: "Call" rhymes with "Tall(high)" and "Put" rhymes with "Foot(Low)"
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this, could you show us how to initiate options?
This broker offers options ($0 fees) - claytrader.com/videos/the-stock-trading-platform-for-traders-on-a-budget-best-app/
Microsoft is looking kind of double toppy on the daily chart. I might get some put contracts on Monday.
Ok...
I started with the wheel strategy about 4 months ago, because my dividends weren’t building fast enough. It’s been going well but, I have a feeling I can make more money swing or trading options. Will starting off with a sell and swing trading it with a buy be a good strategy? This why time will work for me not against?

Welcome 👍
other than the fact an option has a time difference what's is the diffrence between buying 1 put Contract and buying 100 shares of a stock ?
Much less money required.
perfect video for someone new
Thanks
Great video! love the quality.
Thanks!
What are your screening criteria recommendation to find good options for day trading? (Calls or Puts only). What should I look for (e.g. IM.Volatility, Volume, Open Interest , Liquidity or .....)?

What’s collateral in options and when do they come up in options?
Money is collateral.
nice...can you please make a video about selling calls and put options for income
That's part of this: claytrader.com/takecontrol/
This might be out-of-line go ask but what about , sense he seems to be the tech behind the scenes, having nick do a video about setting computer scene up. Not the build but the actually screen. Kinda the way you have it on most if your daily reviews...
Again sorry if the question was out of bounds....

Clay, so if at expiration date your option is at the strike price you will not make any money right? You always want to be above your strike price with a call, below with a put, strike! your out?
If you're day trading them, that is irrelevant.
@@claytrader I have a cash account and I am learning about options, a lot of things are confusing.
great!
@@claytrader so am I right?
@@aplacetorelax1171 somewhat. There are other variables that need to be factored in. Harder to explain here.
what about a sell call and sell put?
Then you would want the opposite.
So where would the options theory and mathematics videos be at?
I'm sure someone on RUclips goes into all the equations.
Why do you see 'PUTS' that have a strike price higher than the price of the stock. Example the stock is trading for $8 and you see 'PUTS' with a $9 or $10.00 strike price. Thanks
Because that is a price level associated with the stock. "Why" or "If" it matters depends on your personal strategy.
@@claytrader when I think of a put I think of the stock going below $8 not going up to 10 if I buy a PUT, that's all.
@@drezpodcast right, at "that" moment in time... but what if the stock goes up to $11... at that moment maybe the $10 put would make sense.
Great
Cheers!
can you show us different strategies
I do that as part of this: claytrader.com/takecontrol/
So if a contract value goes down you are loosing money, and if a contract value goes up your gaining money?
Yes.
👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers
lol clay acts like he would really completely FORGET what a put option is without the toilet reference
hahaha... I might!
Man no matter how many people try and explain options to me I still don't get it 🤣.
People talk about selling options as if you're 'writing' them so then if the option is exercised by the buyer you have to buy the stock at market price and then sell it to them at the strike price.
But can you also sell an option you've bought back to the market at whatever the price of the option is when you sell it?
And if someone does exercise an option you've sold what happens then? Does the broker automatically buy the stock at market price and charge you for it?
Those are not the "basic" questions. I address all those in my advanced classes.
@@claytrader okay, in fairness I haven't reached the options part of the claytrader University yet so I take it those questions are all included in that?
indeed
Can we trade options from the UK?
I believe so. I don't think they're illegal there or anything.
@@claytrader just struggling to find a platform which can help. On another not, your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
look into Interactive Brokers
@@claytrader yeah looked. Extremely costly. Might give tastyworks a try.
they're good too.
The matrix numbers 😂
:-)
I love you
I love you too.
@@claytraderthanks for the info man!
you're welcome!
What’s funny is if people pay for his course they’ll make their money back in a day 😂
But, but, but... didn't you know I'm a scammer for charging money?
Call up.
Put down
I like that!
Amza
What?
Technically they are signed in blood. By whomever loses lol
hahaha... true!
Call up , like a phone. Put down like an insult
I like it!
I day trade options cause time decay is a bitch
Indeed
If you make your content absolutely free you will bring an unprecedented amount of subscribers because the 99% are broke and that’s in the millions clay...
I have lots of free content.
He wanted to get a million views like everybody else 😂
Who's "he"?
Clay just put all your money on AMC bud and you’ll be able to afford the Rolex you always wanted. You know it’s gonna be a short squeeze just watch the Ape Father on RUclips he mention you in his videos. He called you a weak ape lol.
He called me a weak ape? That's insulting he called me an ape at all!

Thanks for the comment, I'm not quite sure the relevance to this video though?
@@claytrader why do you say so?
@@akinorikosaka2753 ummmm
Instructions not clear, keeping my OPTIONS open
*sound stupid joke horn*
it's blaring loud! lol
basic lol nothing is basic in trading, get ready to lose money lol
Why do I get the feeling you didn't actually watch the video?
Bro there’s a way easier way to explain this.. no offense but any beginner who finds this video is gonna be immediately confused right off rip. Don’t overcomplicate things man just say what you’re saying. You talked about options contracts for 10 minutes without even saying what the hell they are 😅 🤦🏼♂️
No offense taken. Also, no offense to you, but if you think you speak for "all beginners", then yeah... you're living on Mars.
waste of time
How so?
you talk waaaay too much about nothing. I know more about toilets now than I do about options. why don't you actually have option order box set up and walk through the process from start to finish? Not a chance in the pit of Hades would I spend a dime on your course. 32 minutes of my life wasted on your gas passing. Your video, is no different than a car salesman trying to sell a car to someone, with no car. Never again will I waste a second on you.
Thanks for the feedback. All the best to you on your journey!
