Trading "Optures and Futions" to Combine the Best of Both Worlds

A complete course on trading with combinations of Options and Futures.

"With this course, Joe Ross boosts our awareness. There is a world of possibilities out there that many of us knew very little about prior to this book, which is a true masterpiece of trading intelligence. To be aware of other instruments and to know how and when to use and to combine them is essential knowledge every trader should make a sincere effort to acquire." ~ Manfred Wurr, Germany

In this book, Master Trader Joe Ross reveals the options "secret" and unmasks the mystery players in the options industry. It may, and should, change your entire career and outlook as a trader. If you have been a purchaser of options, it should change your entire mindset about buying options.

Over time, successful traders change strategies as the nature of the markets change. By learning about options and how you can use them, you will be finding it easier to trade and win. Options will simply become another tool to place in an ever-growing repertoire of implements you need to survive in today‘s markets.

This book is a complete course on how to put money in your pocket through trading with combinations of futures and options. The ideas and concepts revealed in the book work equally well with stock options. People think they risk less when trading stocks, as they rarely see a stock going down to zero, but actually they risk a lot without having hedged their position. When trading the right options or combination of options, you greatly reduce that risk. More than that, you have your risk defined before you enter the trade.

Highlights and Benefits

Combining Options and Futures, or Options and Stocks

Combining the best of both worlds is what makes you a winner, that's how we came up with Optures and Futions.  Joe Ross teaches you the strategies for trading virtually any situation you can encounter in the market. You will learn how to trade with much less capital, and thus dramatically increase the return on the capital you actually use. You will make your trading life a lot easier by trading with a lot less risk.

You will learn how to increase your probability of success, and you will actually know your risk before getting into the trade. You can forget about getting into a stock or a futures position with a 50% probability of success. You will learn how you can make money even if you are initially wrong about the direction of the market. Joe teaches you what to do with the trades that go your way, and how to defend the ones that do not.

The Options Mystique and the Secret that Makes Them Easy

Why mystique? Options books as a rule tend to be long on theory and short on practical application. They also tend to be either too elementary, including 50 pages of definitions, or too complicated, written for a PhD mathematician. Joe teaches you how to use options as a tool, not as a separate entity having its own jargon. You will be not an options trader, an equities trader, or a futures trader, but a complete trader who uses all markets in balance - and wins.

What secret? You are discouraged in many ways from becoming an options seller. Option selling is often presented as a complicated, mysterious, highly mathematical process reserved for only those with huge amounts of money who are able to take enormously dangerous risk.

Joe reveals to you not only the entire options secret, but also the identity of the mystery participants in the markets who at times manipulate the markets. It is their influence that causes the markets to become as frenzied and chaotic as they do. The mystery players also hold the options secret. They do their best to prevent you from ever learning what it is all about. Joe tells you all that they keep secret; the real story behind successful options trading, and why they want to lure you into subscribing to various magical advisory services.

Learning About the Markets and How to Use Options to Assist You in Trading

Most traders have no desire to be pure options traders, and the mathematics of options is mostly unnecessary information. Joe teaches you how you can benefit from options using the trading experience you have already attained. You will learn how to read a chart of the underlying futures or stock, and thus you will have a distinct advantage over options traders, the majority of whom are ignorant of how to read a simple bar chart.

Joe goes into detail, and shows you four simple patterns that are all you need to recognize in order to profitably trade options. As you progress through this course, you will learn other easily recognizable market phenomena, any one of which can make you a fortune by applying the correct options strategy at the correct time.

Getting Paid to Trade in the Business of Trading Options

Joe shows why the trading of options in combination with the underlying instrument is such a fantastic way to trade.  You will understand why traders of strictly futures or stocks for so many years suddenly want to trade options. The reasons are many and varied, but one of the most important is that markets have changed so drastically that trading purely futures or stocks has often gone beyond the risk tolerance of most traders.

It may shock you when Joe tells you how options enable you to use OPM (other people's money) in your trading. Can you imagine going into a bank or lending institution and telling them that you want to borrow money for purposes of trading in the markets? Yet with options, you don‘t even have to fill out a form in order to get tons of OPM with which to trade. The options markets allow you to be paid for trading, and to get your money up front. It's yours to keep forever.

Using Patterns for Success, and Taking What Market Gives You

One of the most difficult situations traders ever have to deal with is in trading inside a Trading Range. Joe teaches you two strategies to trade inside trading ranges that result in your survival in the marketplace while others lose fortunes. You will also learn strategies using a combination of the underlying instrument and options for trading the breakout of a trading range and strategies for trend following with 1-2-3s, Ledges, and Ross Hooks.

Nobody knows what a market will do next. Joe teaches you strategies to enter a market that is not trending and on which you have no opinion, or you are slightly bullish or bearish about. Then he shows you powerful strategies you can apply when a market is trending and you have no problem having an opinion.

"The best of the best" comes when Joe shows you four of his favorite strategies for trading Optures and Futions. These have all stood the test of time. If a trader did nothing more than wait for the right market conditions to apply these, patience would have its high reward.

Trading Optures and Futions reveals the innermost secrets of options traders

An Essential Ingredient for a Profitable Trading Life!

Recommended for traders at all levels, beginners all the way through to advanced.

Can you believe it? Over the years, Joe Ross has come to realize that many traders, perhaps most traders, are unable to give a correct answer to the questions listed below:

• What is the "settlement price?"

• Is there a buyer and seller of last resort when trading futures?

• What is backwardation?

• How are feeder cattle contracts settled? How are live cattle contracts settled?

• What does the study called "Stochastics" measure?

• Name two indicators that can be used to give true confirmation of one another as well as of the price action?

• Define the two kinds of FCMs?

• Define the two kinds of IBs?

• Is anyone required to make a market in futures, and if so, when?

• What is a clearing firm?

• Why is your money safer with a futures broker than with a forex broker?

How did you do? Did you know the answers? Are you sure?

Asking you this series of questions was the best way to help you determine if you need our guidance.  "Futures - From The Beginning" don't let the name fool you. This eBook has information for traders at all levels, from beginners all the way through to advanced.  Whether you've been trading for years or are just a beginner, there is detailed information about this business that most traders do not know, and are unaware that they need to know.  If you're lucky, you might find this information on the web, but you might have to read through thousands of pages to get it. However, in "Futures - From The Beginning," you will find the answers all in one place.

Example 1: You are trading a Eurodollar spread. You give the broker your order: "Buy one December 2006 Eurodollar and sell one December 2007 Eurodollar at a spread of 52, premium to the buy side. After awhile the spread comes back and it is filled. You look at the individual legs of the spread and realize that the fill you received for the December 2006 contract was at a price beyond the limits of the prices traded throughout the entire day. What recourse do you have?  Do you need recourse?  Was the fill legitimate?

If you trade spreads, regardless of which markets, you need to know the answer.  The answers are available in this course.

Example 2: You enter a euro fx trade from your electronic trading platform. Prices move into a trading range and continue to move sideways for awhile. Suddenly you realize that the prices on your screen have stopped ticking. You check your computer and it seems to be working. To be sure, you reboot. Nothing changes, still no ticking. You call your broker and he tells you the exchange computer is down. After about an hour the exchange computer comes back up, and you are facing a substantial loss. Do you have to eat that loss? Do you have recourse?

"Futures - From The Beginning" gives you the answers - all in one place.

Example 3: You bought an in-the-money Put option and prices have moved up. The Put is now out of the money, and your option is within a few days of expiration. The broker issues you a margin call. Can he do that?

Example 4: You are long a soybean contract. Somehow first notice day slipped past your attention and you discover that you have been assigned to take delivery. What are your options?

Example 5: You are short a Call option. The option finishes in the money and the option is called away from you. What does that mean? What is your position? What do you have to do?

Example 6: You are trading forex and are long. The trade has you with a very small gain, so you decide to hold overnight. What impact does that have on your account?

Example 7: You decide to trade Crude Oil futures at the NYMEX. You enter with a market order. You do not receive a fill for 45 minutes. Is that allowable for a market order?

If you are not sure of the solution to every one of the seven examples, then you will some day find yourself facing serious difficulties.

Did you know that there is a better way than a moving average to follow a trend? You will discover that way in this eBook, along with a method for staying with a longer term trend. That doesn't mean that you have to trade the daily, weekly, or monthly charts to realize the benefits from what we will show you. 

We've seen a market trend for 400 price bars on a one-minute chart in the British Pound. That's the equivalent of two years of trading on a daily chart. You can trade a trend like that.

You can increase your chances for trading success when you know and understand the business of trading.

The more you know, the better off you will be. You need to know the rules and the players; you need to know what can hurt you and what can help you.

For instance, so many traders seek to acquire confirmation from two or more indicators that are all measuring the same thing. You can chase your tail round and round like a dog with an itch, but you will gain nothing from your pursuit when all the indicators are duplicating each other. What we're saying here is that many traders will use more than one momentum indicator, or more than one volatility indicator, to confirm not the price action, but to confirm a different indicator of the same type, measuring the same thing. But that's not the way to do it. The correct way is revealed.

There is more, much more, contained in the 21 Lessons.  We feel this is information every trader should know, but that all too many do not know. The course will give you the facts you need to make important decisions.

You've waited long enough. Every day that you trade without this vital information puts you at greater risk.
