IOANNIS KANTARTZIS
Options strategist, international speaker
What you will learn
- Options as a strategic investment.
- Discover the strategy which offers passive investment and win 4 out of 5 scenarios
- I’ll be showcasing a certain strategy by selling volatility on popular ETFs and Indexes with live trading.
- Selling volatility means that we are acting as the premium collectors, much like Insurances, and avoid binary bets such as buying a stock and praying that it goes up.
- Instead we are trading the odds on the options chain with a crystal clear set of entry, exit and risk management rules.
