This course will give you a clear understanding of what call options are, how they are used in a grain marketing strategy, the situations where they can be applied and how to trade them. The course covers all the jargon and details required to allow you to understand the fundamental principles and use call options in your strategy.

The course is compiled of videos, examples and questions to test your knowledge.

A typical example covered is how a grain seller can remove downside price risk and fill cash flow needs through physical sales, whilst remaining exposed to higher prices by using call options.

The key components of a call option covered in this course:

The Premium: amount paid for the option.
Strike Price: the price at which the option buyer has the right to buy at.
Expiry: the date the option expires.
