Course description
One of the most powerful tools available to hedgers, options are also the most difficult to master. Once you’ve learned how to "make options easy" with the Options I - Fundamentals of Energy Options course, you can learn how to get the most out of these fascinating instruments with this advanced course. Delegates learn how to apply complex combinations of calls and puts in order to hedge specific risks and take advantage of market expectations.
With our unique trading simulation you will master directional and market-neutral trading strategies, as well as the application of complex strategies. You will also learn to match specific risk exposures and market expectations with complex strategies.
Includes Online Pre-study Module
This course is accompanied by a preparatory course available online. Delegates will receive a web voucher as part of their joining instructions upon confirmation of registration. By taking advantage of this "blended" learning approach, in-class time and learning are optimized.

Very good course. Well taught & trading simulations very helpful.
Having the futures and options courses in NY is a great learning experience. Thank you.
Great course - far exceeded my expectations! The simulation was excellent! It really made the lessons 'stick'. Application is everything when learning new material.
