Join industry vetern and options expert, Paul Brittain, as he discusses how it is possible to construct an option spread that has similar characteristics to buying or selling an outright futures contract, but shields the trader from excessive volatility.  The seminar will cover the two option strategies used in synthetic swing trading:

    - 1 by 2 ratio spreads
    - Bull Call Spread / Bear Put Spread with a naked leg
 
The premise is to avoid a long term bias, and have the flexibility to range trade using option spreads.  Sponsored by Alaron Trading Corp.
