Options strategy training materials

February 3rd, 2018, 10:34 AM

I'm looking for a book or website that describes complex option strategies for futures markets like the Iron Condor, Iron butterfly, strangles, straddles, and put and call spreads. I need it to completely explain how they are constructed, have examples, and profit loss graphs included. I service agriculture hedgers and am trying to put together some training literature for the ones new to options.

Anyone have suggestions?

Google < tastytrade.com > and will see various links about them, shows, etc...

I'd recommend these two below for starters.
�Learn� https://tastytrade.com/tt/learn (And use magnifying glass icon to search for anything in particular)

�Shows� https://tastytrade.com/tt/shows (Scroll down to 'Splash into Futures' for shows with Pete Mulmat. Here's his bio: https://tastytrade.com/tt/bio/pete-mulmat

I've only dealt with a few people there but have found them to be accessible, welcoming of questions, and responding promptly.

Have a look at the books of Lawrence G. McMillan. He describes these topics in detail and with examples.

I would also recommend OptionAlpha.com
Education is mostly free. I do recommend TastyTrade as well, i think they vary similar philosophies. (Primarily selling options and trying to take advantage of volatility decay and time decay). But I think Options Alpha site is well organized and more efficient for learning. But i have learned from both.

Take the knowledge from Tastytrade but don't necessarily trade the way they do.
