I'm an experienced options trader and freelance writer. I've covered the options market for various companies for the past 14 years. Prior to that, I worked as an institutional sales trader for a New York-based institutional brokerage firm. I enjoy writing about interesting and noteworthy trading activity in the US listed options. I write throughout the day during market hours and most of my regular readers are institutional sales traders, trading desks, hedge funds, etc. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm happy to help if I can.

Options Idea Central offers actionable trading ideas. We highlight options strategies that can be used instead of stock ownership or in combination with stock ownership. The goal is to use options to get an edge over buying and selling the underlying itself. For instance, rather than buying XYZ based on a analyst recommendation to Buy XYZ, a risk-reversal or call spread might offer a better risk-reward compared to buying shares outright. |

Using Trade Alert data, I track and analyze options order flow to find unusual options activity, volume spikes, advanced options spreads or "smart money" trades, and deliver these updates to users as option "alerts". I offer product demos to potential customers. Find out more about the service at trade-alert.com and also check our blog WhatsTrading.com. |
