Companies like Ameritrade have a option screener called
options 360 and a strategy trading platform. On these options trading
platforms you can enter the underlying symbol and it will tell you the
current call and put options available.
If you don't know the underlying symbol for the option you can type in
the stock symbol and it will show you the option symbol. Most of these
option platforms will also tell you the volume ,strike prices and what
month they expire plus many other charts and so on.Call and put option
contracts are 1 contract equals 100 shares of the stock.
The commission varies from each broker but it is usually about
seventy five cents a contract plus the regular trade commission. ETF option trading takes some time to get use to .You need to study
and learn or try using the trading program below. Trading ETF options
are fairly safe and you should only risk no more then two percent of
your account on each trade.
Most traders do not want to trade small ETFs which have low asset
levels and are not traded daily total looking at value of the asset
that the ETF is holding. If you are a trader who wants to invest in
broad markets sectors, it is better to avoid funds below a certain
level like ten million dollars. You should know that the asset value
change with the price volatility of the underlying instrument so
before merely setting a minimum asset level for you consider things
like current market price, market trends, predicted market
performance.
The ETF software will do the work for you.
The ETF software constantly analyzes over 700 ETF’s on a daily basis,
and keeps track of our proprietary performance indicators.
We find those that are entering an uptrend and classify them by
momentum, price action, and relative strength.
We then use this data to identify the top 3 ETF investments at any
given time. When one is identified we issue a buy signal.
When one of our picks starts to break from its trend we issue a sell
signal. We normally don’t buy at the lowest point, and we usually sell
after the ETF peaks, but this allows us to show consistent gains
without exposing ourselves or our customers to unnecessary risk.
Most of our picks are held for several months Although it varies
from one trade to the next This allows for long term growth and
minimizes excessive trading activities,this software greatly reduces
the risk when trading ETF's.
