You Are Invited to Attend:
Applying a Covered Call or Put Strategy to Leveraged Futures with Carley Garner

Trading futures contracts outright can be a risky proposition. Not only is it difficult to predict the direction of prices, but it is even more challenging to time entry and exit from the market.
Carley will introduce the concept of using options to hedge the exposure of holding long or short futures contracts. Although stop order placement is a popular risk management technique, some traders believe such an approach may act as a limitation obstacle. After all, stop orders are only executed if the market moves adversely to the position. In addition, they tend to be elected on sharp, but temporary, moves resulting in unnecessary trade liquidation at unfortunate prices. Perhaps a more viable strategy is the practice of selling options against (in the opposite direction) long or short futures. Doing so works toward a reduction of position volatility, shifts risk further away from the market, provides lasting power during adverse market moves, and can potentially increase the potential of a trade.
This class will cover the following topics:
• Covered calls in stocks vs. futures
• Constructing a bullish or bearish futures strategy hedged by short options
• Using technical and seasonal analysis to increase the odds of success of a covered call or put strategy
• Determining the quantity of short options for each futures contract
• Understanding position delta, and determining a neutral or directional bias
• Being aware of the risk of a runaway market and/or excessive volatility
