Summer’s a great time to expand your options trading skills. This post summarizes some of the best free educational resources for options traders. Whether you’re just beginning with options or advanced, there’s something for everyone to raise their options trading game. Summer always seems like a time for plans: you’re going to start that garden, get back in shape, plan the perfect vacation (or staycation, as the case may be)… Why not add a little options-trading to your repertoire during the relative market calm of the summer?
TradeKing offers tons of great educational material – enough to fill your lunch or coffee break every day this summer and raise your trading game for the autumn action.
