The Inside Wire is a weekly broadcast for the benefit of DiscoverOptions mentoring students who are at Level 3 and above. Steve Lentz hosts a live 30-60 minute webcast each week, and students are welcome to participate in these LIVE WebEx sessions.
These presentations cover various topics including option trading approaches not addressed in the core mentoring curriculum. Each Inside Wire covers a specific trading strategy or topic. Different strategies and topics are presented and discussed each week. Of course, all Inside Wire webcasts (over 300 now available!) are recorded and archived along with the PDF version of the accompanying PowerPoint file, and these are all available to Level 3 students and above.
Once a month, Steve covers the core Level 3 strategies and examines how they did the previous month, discusses the trades for the next month, and any adjustments that might be recommended during the month. These strategies include ongoing campaigns using calendar spreads, butterflies and condors.
Below is a listing of the available Inside Wires from the past year. The archive contains an additional FIVE YEARS of webinars available to all active Mentoring students, including those in our DiscoverOptions Continuing Education Program.
