ION Options Courses
Synthetic Positions
To be scheduled. See upcoming events.
There are many advantages to using options in your trading and investing. We have all heard of the advantages offered by the flexibility of options. But, if you do not understand Synthetics Positions (Synthetics) then you are not employing the full benefit of options' flexibility. The concept of synthetics has always been fundamentally important to understanding options. Synthetics show the mathematical relationship that exists between the stock, a call, and its corresponding put. This mathematical relationship not only designates the price of these instruments in relation to each other, but also shows how a call can be changed into a put, or a put can be changed into a call by simply adding the stock to the equation. That relationship is the foundation for position morphing. Morphing is the process by which one position is changed into another by adding or subtracting a component of the position. In essence, you are changing one position into another. This concept is critical in position management. Without synthetics, there really wouldn't be position management, only the opening and closing of positions. Today, with new SEC margining requirements making synthetic positions a viable alternative, synthetics are the new hot topic. The study of synthetics not only aids in your understanding options but also adds to your profitability by enhancing returns and managing risks. The Synthetic Position Course will include topics such as: Synthetic stock Synthetic call Synthetic put Put/Call parity Morphing Put/Call skew Effective Price Reversal/Conversion Arbitrage Estimated for 6 two-hour classesÂ

Testimonials |
"Ron's style is 'build it from the ground up', no short cuts, crystal clear, delivered
with an almost scary no-compromise passion.
Although Ron is very impassioned about his field of knowledge, it is amazing for
me personally to watch him slow down and zero in on one persons questions or their
'just not getting it-ness' and clarify everything completely before we all move
on."
Take care, my friend and my teacher,
Matt B.
