I am not an expertise but i must say that i still have so much more to learn on options.

What is the best approach to enter the market now as a beginner with more or less than $13,000

just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

They say you truly understand a subject when you can break it down on a 6th grade level. Well, I was back in middle school for the past hour, and you sir, are an excellent teacher! Thank you. 😊

This is the best options intro presentation I have ever seen, and I have been at it for 13 years. Wish I had this content presented to me when I started.

Never have I heard a more clearer presentation of how options work. Thank you. I sincerely appreciate the content.

Very good information. An impressive, comprehensive and easy to follow explanation of what option trading is and how it works. I am an old timer, retired and with time on my hands, who has been selling call options on my dividend portfolio for some time. Oh if only I had learned this information decades ago! Thank you so much, I think this may help many others out. Selling coverd calls has certainly been a boon to my retirement.

Thank you so much for this teaching. I know this is what you do for a living, but letting us in on your wisdom and freely teaching us all these concepts leveled me up in options understanding years in a short time. Well done, all who were involved in the making of this video.

Thank you for this. I have tried watching other presentations and they don't explain the sell side nearly as in depth as you. I learned a lot. Thanks for the American vs European explanation and the Iron Butterfly. You earned a Sub.

Thanks for the nice video. The margin aspect wasn’t covered much. Naked sell options make more money but needs more margin or for same margin amount less lots can be traded. With hedged positions more lots can be traded so can potentially match the profit of naked trades

This really is brilliant. detailed but not congested delivery what makes it easy to digest. Thank you !

This is excellent - very clearly presented! Thank you!

Great video, I'm a former series 7 and 63 rep just getting involved in options trading after a 20 year hiatus and definitely need these refresher courses. I've always said options are like anything else, use it or lose it.

Seth is a great educator! I've been trading options for several years, but every time finding something valuable in his presentations. Helps to build "muscle memory", as he precisely allegorized it. Excellent work, thank you!!

I learned so much and you are a great teacher too. Thanks

this video did a good job highlights how much i dont understand about options trading, which is a good thing.

Thanks for finally actually explaining it and not all the stupid stuff like "I sell apple coverd call" other youtubers suck

It's about time someone makes since out of options, and one of the most profitable ways to trade it. You got my attention when you stated that 75% of option trade expire and lose money buying them. And the edge to making money in this game is to sell them with an emergency strategy. That was very interesting. I'm going to invest in this training and see for myself if this edge really exist. Thank you .

Excellent presentation. Nice and crisp.

Thank you for explaining this to me... simple!😊😊😊

Amazing course, just want to keep learning from this channel.

Might be a little mistake at 18:36 or I misunderstood it says it has a difference of 20 between 2950 and 2750. It is supposed to be 200.

Thank you for so generously sharing your "wisdom from the trenches."

great information thank you so much I am trying to learn more in depth and have a few questions, minute 47:50 call credit spread the contract you sell (lower strike) and the contract you buy (higher strike) what parameters do you use to pick the strike, since I check the volume on different strikes since I am afraid I wouldn't be able to sell the contract with low volume at a higher price, and what could go wrong with the iron butterfly and how could you lose money?

Thanks. The best online option trading courses.

Excellent presentation! I learned more from this video than the previous 6 videos on options.

Such great content!! Although, I’d recommend pausing the video on each slide and taking old school notes to include timestamps SMB, you have a loyal subscriber here, this is awesome!!

Hi thanx for SMB video teachings how to trade. I have a question on tape reading or time and sales indicators. What does yellow , black, green and red boxes mean?

Gonna have to watch this a couple times.

I watched a few options courses and this is by far the best one I've come across. Great information and examples.

This is the most lucid explanation of options I’ve ever seen.

Great video- thank you. I’m confused though, at 8:17 , ‘“f the put buyer is wrong: call seller…” …should this be PUT seller instead of call seller?

With world markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing interest-rate hikes, the treasury yields rising rapidly, markets mlarge anipulations, and ma profits from all these investing BS.ny other factors makes me wonder if people still make

Great video Thanks for sharing! The question remains if everybody sells cause of what you explained in the video, who wants to buy options? thanks again!

Thanks for the explanation, very helpful for beginners like me who are learning in the nfc community.

Thanks Mike and SMB Team 🙌🙏.

Great video. Adding Time stamps will be helpful. Thank you for sharing.

I'm going to sign up. I got destroyed today on SPX, running paper money. Fantastic experience - watched it drop like a rock and said "let's ride this all the way down". I learned a ton about the effects emerging variation and time-dependency of value (at least in this occurrence). I'm a nervous novice, but also an ops and data science guy by trade - kid in a candy store. I really appreciate your channel - magnitudes higher quality that most of the content out there.

56:58 I think you might have made a mistake here. The Short PUT & CALL were sold at 1880 ( not 1800 ). This means your upper lower breakeven figures are wrong. I'm new to this, so forgive me if I've misunderstood.

Great intro - i have a ton to learn!!!

Thank you Sir for great insights about Basics of Option trading. Kindly plan for Option Greeks respect to choose Strategy, Strike price and when do go for adjustments. Best wishes!!!

Hi, SMB, first of all I want to thank you for your contents you put out every week. I am grateful I can always count on you guys to provide world class video information on trading. When I watch one of your long training videos, I always like to stop and take notes while I am watching to make sure I understand everything you are teaching. Since your videos teaches so well and clear, I rarely have questions that cant be answered just by watching a few more times. However, for the 1st time, I do have a question on one of your slides on put options. It states "If the put buyer is wrong: Call seller just pockets the premium he received for taking the bet". Does the put buyer buy from a call seller or a put seller? both?

This is a great video, thank you so much. I have watched a lot of trading videos and this is a real standout.

Sir Ronal’ has offered profits to investors who wish to recover losses including myself and it’s a great honor to be part of them 🥳

Absolutely incredible vid! Simple to understand. Thank you.

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Catherine Gauthier.

It's great information, and I appreciate you, Sir!!

This video is honestly a life changer for me! Well done, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH 🎉👏🏻

Are there specific option Greek levels that you have to be aware of when buying deep-in-the-money call options for it to be a safe strategy?

Another magnificent video thank.....

My favorite vid u guys ever made was turning a losing iron fly into a winning iron condor. What about a losing iron condor? Can you guys make a video on how to trade or roll a losing iron condor?

Best options video ever!

Great lesson on option trading.

thank you so much for this generous offering

I'm an aspiring trader who would rather learn from other traders' experience than investing in the market myself, in anticipation of the next bull run. What are your thoughts on copy trading as well? Do individuals actually earn a living? Just trying to get some reassurance. I want to have a healthy portfolio worth at least $850,000. Reliable inputs please.

Very educative.

57.22 There a typo in the upside breakeven bullet point? The previous slides showed that we already make money when the price reaches 1885.23 which is outside of the specified range.

Your amazing. Thank you so much

Thank you 🙏🏾

18:38 the difference between index closing price and strike is 200 so the put buyer would make 20,000 (200x100) profit

Hey! @18:36 wouldn't that be $20,000.00? the difference between 2950 and 2750 is 200, times $100.

The index put options section at expiration has an error. 2950-2750 = 200x100 = 20,000

Trying to learn. I've only gotten in as far as 6:38, and confused already. The example being told is done in May of some year. And the expiration is in June. At 6:38, the guy in the blue shirt talks about the stock price going down, and says "...stock sells off to say 160 then on November 16th the option seller..." I turned on the subtitles, and he DOES say that. If a CALL expired in June, why does a Put for the same thing go out as far as November 16? Are they effective for longer time? I'm distracted by this, and my brain wants to come up with an answer to this rather than pay attention to what he's trying to teach.

Thanks

At 6:15, the call buyer deducts the premium from his profits and if he loses the seller gets to keep the premium. What a genius!

Appreciate you starting out with definitions, thus standing above other so called basic courses which erroneously assume you know the basics.

@SMBCAPITAL - At 18:35, when you discuss the expiration and pay out of an in the money put option, shouldn’t the payout be $20,000 (based on the 200 point difference x $100 per point?) 🤔

The math in the index put option is incorrect. He speaks of a 20 point move but it’s actually a 200 point move.

Im still in the beginning of this video but, one thing I had gotten confused on was the actual purchase of 100 shares of asset related to the option. Do you need to have the buying power to purchase 100 shares yourself in your account?

Good morning everyone, this lesson was inspiring for me.... but I didn't understand in the explanation of the Iron Butterfly at minute 57.03 why the downsize break even is calculated with 1800-81.15= 1718.85 instead it shouldn't be 1886.61-81.15 = 1805.46 ? Many thanks in advance. Gianluca from Milan

at 6:11 the net profit should be=$19000-$18000-$350=$9650 at cost of $350 which is 9650/350= X27.5 multiplier . correct me if i am wrong

This guy really understand how to make money on trading😃

Thank you.

I wanna see how much longer it will take them to come out with hourly options expiration dates.

Outstanding information, big fan of the channel, keep up the good work

I understand covered calls but that's about it with options. For some reason I just get confused with selling puts and buying puts and selling calls and buying calls and all the complicated mixture of all the possibilities.????

Great video!

Thank you so much!!!

can you tell me where i can purchase membership?

Subbed - great info!

Trying to learn options. Thank you for the video, Seth and SMB🙏

Is strike price same as the limit price?

Great options info. I’m a Subscriber now.

the explanation makes sense. but putting it into practice is a bit confusing. a live trade will help alot

At the 18:36 time stamp, shouldn't the payout for the index put at expiration be $20,000 (i.e. 2950-2750 = 200 X $100 = $20,000) ?

thanks!

loved the video great review if you already know how to trade options

Thanks for the video! I’m wondering why SBM capital is teaching us how to option trade? Only because they are nice?!

If I have some call options in the money & don't have the cash on hand to purchase the total number of shares. Will my brokerage firm automatically sell them? Or am I expected to have the cash on hand to fulfill the obligation purchase prior to selling for profit

What happens if my option is in the money on termination date but I am not available to exercise it?

Great info

When the call buyer is right they allowed to buy the stock at the strike price but what if we do not want to buy shares of a stock. i am confused on that. if you could get back to me it would be greatly appreciated

There's something I don't finish to understand. In the video (and books) says that you don't make gains on a Call option unless the expiration price be higher than the strike price. But, I see people open and closing positions, trading the price of the option that makes gain even below the strike price. An explanation would be welcome, thanks.

Sorry Question: When I place a Call and it is on money do I cover from the strike price till the market price the buyer? or I just sell my shares at the strike price then " he cash the rest from the market" ?

56:58 check your calculation, is it 1800 or 1880?, break even bands sit at 1798 to1960

What if you have an in the money call but you don't have the cash balance to buy the shares when it expires?

Very Nice 😊

Great course!…But This video course is missing to set each chapter or topic by time in the details section , so we can see All topics and click in the exact topic we want to see…
