Because I double clicked on the Ask, it got my price already setup. Stargazer is, so I wanting to chat since Monday. We did this one for August with the 50 and 52 will cross spread. When we enter a trade, what we do is we buy open. The closer we are to expiration, the greater the risk and reward, the greater the profit or greater the pain. So, just a reminder you must apply for options trading. If I go now to September 21st, with those same puts, they were trading around seven bucks as of the day, right around 860. Just with four clicks, this is how fast I can enter. PM when trading is now over.
Very, very, very important. By tomorrow, remember tomorrow is the last trading day on this. If the price per share is not below 125 for the puts, all of these are going to expire worthless. How many contracts should I buy? We saw options that just erupted exponentially as we were closer to this expiration. BIIB is a stock that has multiple expirations. Okay, a second trader, a cash or margin account.
The 130 strike for here, most of the day it was trading around 330. Wait to see how that moves. August 17th calls and puts. Trade Pro, just remind me at the end of the webinar. This is the way that I like to trade. That will have less time decay attached to them.
What is the value of that option? Use the limit order on your sell. Yeah, I am going with the Yankees. Again, this is Mark at Options Elite. Strictly an options alone. But double click here, place trade. The trade off is there is something called time decay, or a premium which is the inflated price of the option based on how much time there is and also how much volatility there is on the stock typically before an options expiration. Yes, these calls are worth 130 or sorry worth 110 or point 70 on a bid. Yes, pretty much to see if you can get that.
For myself, I follow the price per share of the stock on my charts. Again, if you have less than 25K, then you are subject to those restrictions. How do I suggest managing risk with level two options? We like to trade options because they are more dependant on market conditions, fundamentals, news, as well as charts. So really what you are doing with those options is you are just trading that value. But if you do at least five a week get chances it will knock you down a few bucks. For myself, I try to keep it consistent. This is saying if you were to hold a call option up or close to expiration, this is going to tell you how much you need that price per share to move.
Call Monday, and oh again, I would be trading just about in the money. You need to keep your trades consistent and stick with the plan. Okay, we have big move on TSLA which was just one big move. Double click, place trade, enter. For example, I might buy 10, 20 contracts of Facebook at a time, but I might only buy maybe three or five contracts of Apple on a Scout Trade.

Okay, why do I like cash accounts and options? However, we saw a move that brought these from out of the money into the money, and that growth was exponential. Gun is blazing just yet. For ONXX, we did alert this one with the 130 puts. Scalp trades can be extremely profitable, but again for that time decay it might not be your thing.
Wack order if you have a 95 job, you can swing trade for example, we did alert PKG. Netflix, NFLX, and TSLA. Apple is for example because we have earnings next week. You have about one hour to call your broker and try to get them to give you the face value. More than a thousand percent return. Yes, again we are typically option buyers.
If you were someone that bought it in at point two, you could sold for just about a thousand percent return. Okay, what happens to that expiration? With each rate for a basic trade of buying a call option and then selling it, you need level two at the very least. If you add up all these numbers it should add up to 260. Swing Trade or a Day Trade. Trade, there are restrictions for day trading. Visual, we will go to TSLA in terms of a specific chart request.
Those are the puts that are 125 and below. There is my settle close order. And this was actually our idea for eBay. Wack Arthur, there is a few ways to do this.

If you have a margin account, I can still do a trade and cash account, right?
Derek Jeter Rookie Card. Cash account for options and then margin for stock. You can buy on the ask and that will immediately fill your order. To stop limits, tight stop limits. Okay, just real quick remember bullish if we want the stock price to move up. We are not really just plain short sellers or sellers of naked puts on these options. Here you can have it, just give me the difference. These calls are out of the money, and these puts are out of the money. You can read reports on them. Those of you that do not like scout trades.
What is the benefit of it versus just trading regular stocks? Level three and higher are for spread trades and give you that ability to sell to open options. Hey, no matter what the price per share is on Facebook by expiration I can buy a 100 shares of it at 25. The trade off is you can sell it to someone else. Divide this by two. The ones with the closest expiration, July 20th, the last day of trading on this is tomorrow. Some people even look at the movement of the options on their candlestick charts.
The same trend is going to continue if we use further expirations of that have a longer amount of time. We do our best to give us the chart reads like we saw just today alone. Something else that always has an expiration is a coupon. You can call your broker and ask them to switch it to a cash account. We can also trade combinations of calls and puts, we can buy one strike price of a put and sell to open, another strike price of put and create a spread and do different combinations of spreads to make things like a condor. There is level two, which is your basic call and put, which are most of the scalp and some of the swing trades that we do. Most of these are companies that are well into the news.

As you can see here, with a call option, there is limited risk.
Double click on that bid, place trade. This is what your order would look like. This goes for any new members. Fidelity might be different. Bull Bolster is right. They are going to see a lot of volatility and that is exactly what we like.
Those are your basic option strategies. Trade Pro really quick and I am going to show you a basic options chain and how we set that up.

Today we did alert, or one of our mods did alert a quick puts trade on ONXX which moved for a fast 200 percent near the lows of the day. Profit, 105 bucks, but that was in two minutes of trading. Those of you, I had a question, someone wanted to see the ONXX trade. How is this different from level two? Again, just like any alert, even just on shares. Okay, just because the volatility and the price for share movement varies, depending on the stock.
My best advice is use that margin. This gives us that idea of leverage. Rarely do we ever hold our options or our calls or puts to the very end. Adrenaline rush that you get. That makes it a little easier to read. All right, the rewards and risks of options trading.

We want the same day or maybe the next day or two, you want to see rapid movement to the downside. How much I can start with in an account to trade options and how much can I make in a day? Apple for my example. We just needed it above 26. When we are bullish in anticipating the stock price to move up we are going to buy open or go long the calls.
