1 Trading Options for Potential Income in a Volatile Market Dan Sheridan Sheridan Mentoring & Brian Overby TradeKing TradeKing is a member of FINRA & SIPC Disclaimer Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling options, an investor must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Copies may be obtained by calling TRADEKING at KING, visiting or by asking a TradeKing representative at this event. System response and access times may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. Market timing is a complex investment strategy which involves risk and may incur additional commission costs. Multiple leg options strategies involve additional risks and multiple commissions, and may result in complex tax treatments. Please consult a tax advisor. Any strategies discussed and examples using actual securities and price data are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes only and are not to be construed as an endorsement, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell securities. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Consider the following when making an investment decision: your financial situation, your risk profile and transaction costs. This event is provided for educational and informational purposes only. All investments involve risk, losses may exceed the principal invested, and the past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. TradeKing provides selfdirected investors with discount brokerage services, and does not make recommendations or offer investment, financial, legal or tax advice. You alone are responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of TradeKing's systems, services or products. 1
2 Disclaimer The projections or other information generated by TradeKing's tools regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. The calculations do not take into consideration all costs, such as commissions and margin interest which may impact the results shown. It is the user's sole responsibility to select the criteria to enter in the TradeKing's tools, or to choose among the predefined screens, and to evaluate the merits and risks associated with the use of the tools before making any investment decisions. TradeKing is not responsible for any losses that occur from such investment decisions. The material presented by Dan Sheridan is a product of SheridanMentoring.com and as such, is solely responsible for its content. TradeKing maintains a business relationship with SheridanMentoring.com. TradeKing charges $4.95 for equity and option trades, add 65 cents per option contract. Trade more than 8 contracts, and we'll automatically lower your cost to 15 cents per contract plus $8.95 per trade. TradeKing charges an additional $0.35 per contract on certain index products where the exchange charges fees. See our FAQ for details. TradeKing adds $0.01 per share on the entire order for stocks priced less than $1.00. See our Commissions + Fees page for commissions on low-priced stocks, option spreads, and other securities. Implied volatility represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the future level of stock price volatility. Delta represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the theoretical price movement of the option relative to the underlying security. Gamma represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the theoretical rate of change of Delta relative to the underlying security. Theta represents the consensus of the marketplace as to the amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (day) change in the days to expiration of the option contract. There is no guarantee that these forecasts will be correct. Crash Course in the Greeks TradeKing is a member of FINRA & SIPC 2

Gamma: The amount a theoretical option's delta will change for a corresponding one-unit (point) change in the price of the underlying security. Theta: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (day) change in the days to expiration of the option contract. Vega: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (percentage-point) change in the implied volatility of the option contract. Rho: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (percentage-point) change in the interest rate used to price the option contract. 6 3
4 Delta Example I Delta: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (point) change in the price of the underlying security. 50 Strike is 50 3 Month Call $ Non-Textbook Definition iti The delta is the probability of the option being in the money on expiration. 7 Delta Example II Delta: Non-Textbook Definition The delta is the probability of the option being in the money on expiration Call Strike is 50 1) One Day to Expiration Δ ) Sixty Days to Expiration Δ
5 Gamma Gamma: The amount a theoretical option's delta will change for a corresponding one-unit (point) change in the price of the underlying security. Gamma is highest for the near-term ATM strike, and slopes off toward the ITM and OTM strikes. 9 Delta Example II Delta: Non-Textbook Definition The delta is the probability of the option being in the money on expiration Call Strike is 50 Gamma 1) One Day to Expiration Δ ) Sixty Days to Expiration Δ
6 Graph of Gamma ATM Calls Day 85 Strike Call 45-Day 85 Strike Call 0.07 Gamma Stock Price 11 Theta Theta: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (day) change in the days to expiration of the option contract. 12 6
7 Time Decay of ATM Call Option Option Premium Days to Expiration 13 Vega Vega: The amount a theoretical option's price will change for a corresponding one-unit (percentage-point) change in the implied volatility of the option contract. The more time premium, the higher the Vega is for an option. By that rational, longer term options will have a higher Vega number then shorter term options.
