<div rel="sfreifeld-200px.jpg"> <p>Join Stan as he discusses the details of a Delta Neutral trading strategy based on volatility. Trading Delta Neutral positions is a strategy that is used by both professional and non-professional traders to increase their profits and to reduce risk.&nbsp;</p> <p>The concept is to remove, or significantly reduce, the directional component in a position so that profits can be made whether the underlying moves is up or down. This then frees the trader from having to predict the direction of the underlying asset.&nbsp;</p> <p>The concept is that it is easier (not easy, there&rsquo;s no free lunch) to predict volatility than direction. Stan will provide the background information necessary to trade Delta Neutral and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. Then he&rsquo;ll show you how to create a Delta Neutral position and provide an example.&nbsp;</p> <p>You&rsquo;ll need to have a working knowledge of the Greeks, but don&rsquo;t worry, Stan will provide a brief explanation of them as well.</p> <p>About Stan Freifeld</p> <p>Stan comes to us from the Floor of the American Stock Exchange where he traded options for his own account from 1994-2001.
