The course provides students with an understanding of the derivatives markets (futures and options) and how they are traded. It also explains the construction and applications of payoff diagrams and introduces a number of options trading strategies.

Week 1: Introduction to the basics of options (puts, calls, spreads, straddles, and strangles), using practical examples to illustrate academic concepts. Week 2: Practical trading sessions will enable delegates to apply what they have learnt to create options trading strategies, with help and guidance from the tutor.
