Portfolio Management

View Complete Class Schedule

Time to take all the principles you've learned and put them to work as you manage your positions and portfolio. As a follow up to our intermediate-level classes, we will help you take home everything you've learned and translate it into smart position management. This 4-hour class will cover:

  • Capital allocation
  • Recognizing and adjusting uncomfortable positions
  • Time and price evaluation
  • Practical applications of the Greeks
  • Employing e-minis
  • ...and much more

Not enough? We'll also go over the intangibles that play a big part in position management, including consistency, ego and emotional attachment. And in response to many requests, this course will take significant time demonstrating how to use the thinkorswim software to your advantage as you start to look at the bigger picture in your trading.

If you do not already use the thinkorswim trading platform, we recommend you download a free trial at www.thinkorswim.com prior to attending.

Prerequisites

The Position and Portfolio Management Class is an advanced level course and we won't waste any time getting into the meat of understanding how to manage multiple complex positions. What does that mean? You should have a solid understanding of the following:

  • Calls
