Each month, Futures & Options Trader magazine brings you the best strategies, analysis, news and trading resources for the stock and futures options markets. Among the features covered in every issue:
Trading strategies and systems
Futures & Options Trader provides technical, fundamental and quantitative approaches to futures and option trading strategies and systems. We also focus on the all-important issues of risk control and money management.
Trading Strategy articles discuss both the why and the how — the logic behind a trading approach, not just the rules to execute it. Strategies are spelled out so you can research and test them yourself, with programming code for top analytical software platforms provided (when applicable).
Futures & Options Trader also includes in-depth option system analysis, similar to the Trading System Labs in Active Trader magazine. Other articles focus on quantitative analysis of specific behavioral characteristics and relationships in the futures and options market — analysis that can provide the foundation for trading strategies and systems.
Articles give subjects in-depth treatment — clearly explaining key concepts and providing the background information and detail lacking in many sources.
Analysis of real trades: The Futures Trade Diary and Options Trade Journal
Virtually all good traders agree that maintaining a trading journal or "diary" is one of the most valuable learning tools available to all traders — the best way to learn from our inevitable mistakes. Each month we dissect a trade, discussing the system, strategy or catalyst that triggered an entry. Risks are identified and defined. The trade's outcome is analyzed. Finally, we gauge how well the trade plan was executed and what lessons the trade imparted.
