To start the training course, it is essential to know the following topics
We recommend acquiring a good understanding of the following topics before starting the training course:
Derivative instruments such as Call and Put options: the right to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price, without obligation. Knowing their characteristics, how they work, and their differences is essential for managing hedging and speculation strategies.
Futures contracts: standardized financial instruments to buy or sell assets in the future at a predetermined price. They are useful tools for hedging risks or speculating on market movements.
Open interest: an indicator that shows the total number of open options and futures contracts, still active or not closed. It is important for assessing the liquidity of a market and the strength of a trend.
Options strategies and their Greeks (1st and 2nd order): a set of techniques to combine options and manage risk. The Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho) are indicators that measure the sensitivity of the option price to various market factors.
Types of market orders: include limit orders, stop orders, market orders, and other tools to enter and exit positions in the most effective way, minimizing costs and risk.
Analysis tools such as Volume Profile and Market Profile: display the distribution of volumes and prices over time in the market, providing a deeper reading of the distribution of supply and demand.
The different market volatilities: from historical volatility, based on past data, to implied volatility, derived from options, and expected volatility, estimated through future models. These aspects are crucial for predicting market movements and planning strategies, fundamental for market forecasts and trading strategies.
Term Structure and Volatility Skew: concepts related to the shape of the volatility curve and its variation according to the strike price, useful for evaluating trading opportunities and diagnosing over- or under-valued market conditions.
You can easily find this knowledge online, through courses, articles, and specialized tutorials. In any case, we provide you with a free brochure summarizing the topics we consider fundamental.
