Trade Smarter with OptionWorks®

Add OptionWorks® to Your Trading Tool Belt!

optionworks-logo Smart options trading requires more than just identifying a market trend and a strike price. Savvy traders recognize that the key to sound options trading is pinpointing several vital variables.

Use OptionWorks® Research to analyze critical metrics to help improve your options trading!

  • Gain unique insight into futures options available nowhere else.
  • Enjoy access to a database of option information and daily strategies.
  • Get help with risk/reward visualization, trade management and more!

For the past twenty years, John Nelson has provided quant research to big banks, proprietary trading firms and hedge funds.

Every day the OptionWorks® Database processes more than a million futures and option prices to produce its proprietary models for trend, volatility and skew. The OptionWorks® Trade Engine then analyzes those results for ten major option contracts and identifies the optimal strategies to consider based on current market conditions.

Now dt clients have a significant new device to consider adding to their trading tool belts. And the best part is that OptionWorks® is discounted for dt clients!

For a limited time through Daniels Trading, a subscription to OptionWorks® Research is available at a $20 monthly discount. Receive the Daily Strategy Report and monitor the Volatility Dashboard to access an extensive database of quant research on futures options.

WHEN INVESTING IN THE PURCHASING OF OPTIONS, YOU MAY LOSE ALL OF THE MONEY YOU INVESTED.

This material is conveyed as a solicitation for entering into a derivatives transaction.

This material has been prepared by a Daniels Trading broker who provides research market commentary and trade recommendations as part of his or her solicitation for accounts and solicitation for trades; however, Daniels Trading does not maintain a research department as defined in CFTC Rule 1.71. Daniels Trading, its principals, brokers and employees may trade in derivatives for their own accounts or for the accounts of others. Due to various factors (such as risk tolerance, margin requirements, trading objectives, short term vs. long term strategies, technical vs. fundamental market analysis, and other factors) such trading may result in the initiation or liquidation of positions that are different from or contrary to the opinions and recommendations contained therein.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or commodity options can be substantial, and therefore investors should understand the risks involved in taking leveraged positions and must assume responsibility for the risks associated with such investments and for their results.

Trade recommendations and profit/loss calculations may not include commissions and fees. Please consult your broker for details based on your trading arrangement and commission setup.

You should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.
