Welcome to the Selling Put Case Study course! This course is an extension of our primary options trading courses, specifically designed to focus on real-life examples and the management of Selling Put positions. While the theory and setup of Selling Put strategies have been thoroughly covered in previous courses, this case study course separates out those concepts to focus entirely on how to manage Selling Puts in real market conditions.
Why Separate the Case Study?
We have separated this Selling Put Case Study from the main course for a few reasons:
- Focused Learning: The goal is to give students a hands-on, dedicated look at how to manage Selling Put positions, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge in real-time without re-covering the basics.
- Real-Life Scenarios: We want to show you how to handle different market environments—bullish, neutral, and even bearish scenarios—through the lens of a Selling Put strategy.
- Specialization: This course assumes you are already familiar with the mechanics of Selling Puts from our main options courses. Here, we jump directly into the management phase, teaching you how to monitor and adjust your positions as the market evolves.
Course Overview
The Selling Put Case Study course is specifically tailored to traders who have a strong foundation in options trading and Selling Put strategies. You should have completed our main courses on Selling Puts before diving into this case study.
