TRADING THE PRISTINE METHOD® - OPTION SEMINAR
PART I

TPM I not required but recommended

The Pristine Method® Option Seminar Part 1 is an intensive, 1-day beginning to intermediate course that teaches students how to effectively swing and core trade options, including how to generate monthly premium on long-term holdings to reduce cost basis.

Options give traders more versatility when trading an underlying that are not available with trading stocks alone. The course will consist of an introduction to option theory and a discussion of practical trading strategies using The Pristine Method. You will learn how Pristine applies the appropriate option strategy in any trading environment after a careful analysis of the equity, consistent with the risk profile of the trader and whether the trade is a swing trade (one to five days) or core trade (weeks to months).

Although the vast public is “afraid” of options and unwilling to learn about them, properly used successful option strategies can be less risky than trading the underlying instrument.

The Pristine Method applies to anything that moves; however, if you trade a stock, commodity, futures contract, or currency alone, you will only win if that instrument goes in the direction intended.  As we all know, those instruments can go up, down, or sideways. Pristine will teach you various option strategies where the odds are stacked in your favor in two of the three possible scenarios.
