About this episode

Index Options Explained

To receive the free Index Options Mini Course, go to https://OptionsTrading.help/IndexOptions and I'll send you the 7 part video series to get your trading profitably on your own in as little as 1 week. 

The 7 part video series includes a weekly options strategy for SPX showing you exactly how to put this trade on every week. It also includes a 5 year performance look back so that you fully understand what to expect when trading this profitable strategy. 

As mentioned in this episode, the 3 main reasons to consider trading index options over stocks or ETF options are because they are cash settled, there is no assignment risk and therefore no early assignment risk, and preferential tax treatment so that you can keep more of your profits when the tax man comes. 

Thanks for listening and I'll talk to you soon.
