That is, until now…

Introducing…

“Options Edge” with Michael Thomsett and Stephen W. Bigalow!

Best-selling options author and trader Michael Thomsett and Japanese Candlestick expert and author Stephen W. Bigalow will combine forces to present “Options Edge”… a 3-week training course totally focused on powerful, yet conservative options trading strategies using candlestick analysis to pinpoint your ideal entry and exit prices for maximum profit.

Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll get in this breakthrough training course…

Executive Summary:

This course is designed to provide a unique combination of candlestick signals for improved timing of entry and exit, with specific options strategies for execution. The purpose is to provide traders with a coordinated plan that provides both the signal attributes (candlesticks confirmed by momentum, volume, and other signals) with mastery of a trading medium (options) -- but without needing to increase risk tolerance. These strategic systems are designed to promote a conservative trading methodology on the assumption that most people do not wish to adopt a high risk level.

Each of the three parts is organized in two 1-hour segments and includes numerous marked-up stock charts to ensure a highly visual experience that not only explains the concept, but shows the effectiveness of using candlesticks to time options trades.

The Three Parts of the Course:

Part One is an introductory course presenting options in context. This enables the trader to master terminology and trading attributes of options while applying candlestick signal identification to skillfully time trades. Beyond terminology, the course also describes accurate and consistent return calculations. It concludes with introduction of a short list of basic strategies, including spreads and straddles.

Part Two is the intermediate segment of this three-part course. In this segment, topics include expanding the basic strategies to increase hedging attributes of options based on candlestick-based identification of coming reversals; it further expands the basic strategies into collars, strangles and other hedging strategies. These include highly conservative strategies such as uncovered puts and covered straddles, and demonstrates how powerful candlestick signals are used to skillfully time such trades.

Part Three is the advanced portion of this three-part course. It explains highly effective hedging ideas such as protective puts and synthetic stock strategies, and shows how to use candlesticks to time entry and exit. It also explains condors, butterflies and box spreads. Finally, the last hour compares pure volatility long and short strategies; leaning volatility long and short; and options arbitrage. The second hour coordinates candlestick signals with these advanced option strategies and demonstrates how the candlestick works well with options in executing an effective trading plan.
