A practical course covering basic knowledge on financial derivatives beginning steps for wholesale risk management. Hedging in energy and agricultural markets.
Whether you have experience in trading stock, FX markets or new to financial markets, our course is designed as a practical approach in learning to trade commodity futures and options. Rather than theory, you'll have enough background at the end of this course to experiment with real-time market data on building your own trades using industry tools available from the exchange.
We'll start with a look at the energy markets in Crude Oil to gain a foundation on basic knowledge of commodity futures, quotes and conventions. You'll learn how to build and model limited risk option trade structures as the building blocks to more sophisticated professional applications.
See how these trade strategies are used for market speculation with limited risk, low margin and management with options. We will also cover example on how institutions and wholesale businesses use futures and options in the purchase and sales operations to manage price risk in volatile markets and improve stability of their profit margins.
