Option Strategy Assignment – College Pal

You have read about it, but now it is time to get your hands a little dirty and build your own strategies with real data. Lots of discount brokers are encouraging option trading and the potential profits are amazing… but so are the potential losses. At the conclusion of this assignment, you will understand how you could make or lose money with a series of options strategies. Buyer (or seller) beware. 

You will be harvesting your own options chain from BarChart.com (Links to an external site.). All strategies need to use Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ticker: ATVI) as the underlying security. If for some reason, this website is not loading prices for you, then you are welcome to use another site. One alternative option is Big Charts (Links to an external site.), but there are many options chain vendors online. Ultimately, I want to see a screen snip of the options chain used for every options strategy below. If I cannot verify your math, then it is wrong. Use a strike month that is 2-3 months in the future.
