Today I’m joined by Alec Beasley from Investa
We get into how professional traders, hedge funds and bank derivative desks actually use options:
• Exotic options
• Knockout structures
• Hybrid trades
• Volatility trading
• Covered calls
• Cash secured puts
• The wheel strategy
• Zero day options
• Why market makers think differently from retail traders
• How institutional desks price risk
Alec previously worked on the equity derivatives desk at Citigroup, facilitating professional options flow before launching a commission-free UK retail options platform.
This is a deep dive into how the options market really works behind the curtain.
