[Req] - Gamma Scalping - Options Course?


Recommended Posts

Do you guys have any course on Gamma Scalping Options Course or adjusting the options positions to get Delta neutral? There are lot of courses which teaches the text book strategies, but in options the key is adjustment while in position when price moves. Also, there are strategies like Gamma scalping which one can do intraday itself, but could not find which details these. Not sure if H@ri Sw@minathans options course goes into details of these, but I see his some/clips youtube videos where he talks about adjustments.

 

Please share if you have any video courses which goes into detail on the above topics with practical and live examples in the course.

 

TIA

I have been a floor option trader, when there still "floors" :D, for about nine years. Most of those strategies described in many option books will only work if you have an edge, like floor traders used to have. Commissions, slippage and many other variables will prevent retail trader from implementing those strategies profitably. Only about half a dozen of option strategies will make sense once you realize what is involved in putting on a complex option position. With that said I am not implying that it's not worth learning options in depth....it is, but for a different reason. The better you understand mechanics of options the easier you will be able to substitute complex position with relatively simple one - with a profit and risk profile very close to original option strategy.

 

Good luck !!

Thats great to know we have floor traders in this forum.

 

Were you trading options intraday or positional?

Any pointers to understand mechanics of options?
