WEEKLY OPTIONS TRADING

USING WEEKLY OPTIONS

Weeklys can be used in various strategies, just like standard options. These strategies include Covered Calls, Collars, Married Puts, Vertical Spreads, condors and Butterfly Positions. The premiums will be slightly lower compared to the standard expiration options, due to the lower time value.

BENEFITS OF WEEKLY OPTIONS TRADING

Shorter Duration

The addition of Weeklys provides greater trading flexibility and precision timing from shorter durations.

Expirations are available every Friday(except the third week), plus the last business day of the month.

Expanded expiration choices offer greater access, flexibility

Designed to expire on the first, second, and now fourth Fridays of every month, the expanded line-up of European-style Weekly Options complement existing quarterly, serial and end-of-month options to give you up to five expirations each month on the benchmark S&P 500 Index.

Precision timing from shorter durations.

Weekly expirations provide precise, strategic tools to help you capitalize on market movements stemming from new economic releases or market events and continue to grow in popularity with market participants.

Certainty of exercise

Like end-of-month options, Weeklys offer European-style exercise and prohibit contrarian instructions -- meaning that, at expiration, all in-the-money options are automatically exercised and all out-of-the money options are automatically abandoned.

WINNING WITH WEEKLY OPTIONS

When trading weekly options, you need up-to-the-minute knowledge of the events affecting the market, as well as an understanding of which weekly options to trade, how much to pay for these trades, what strategies to use, and when to enter and exit each trade.
