Interactive Options Course
Lesson 1 of 13
Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation includes several option trading and analysis tools that are free of charge for our clients. Each lesson will focus on a specific option tool or screen from our Layout Library. We will walk you through examples on how to use the tools using a variety of option trades and strategies to illustrate practical trading scenarios.
We’ll access Option Chains in Mosaic explore the Strategy Builder and the Layout Library’s preconfigured Option Trading Screen. We will take a deep dive into the Option Strategy Lab, Probability Lab, and the Performance Profile and show you how they can help in your analysis. We will also go into how to trade option volatility and use the Volatility Lab to assist you in researching both implied and historic volatility.
Two of the more popular option trading tools are Option Write and Rollover tools. We will show you how to use them to manage your existing stock and option positions.
Trader Workstation also offers market scanners that allow you to search underlyings for several option related activities. A few examples are: “Top Option Implied Volatility % Gainers and Losers” and “Most Active by Option Volume”.
We will finish the option tools course with lessons on how the Risk Navigator “What-if” function can be used for options. They will show you how to Calculate Option Forward Prices for single options and option combinations and how to set alarms and alerts.
By the end of this course, you will be familiar with several of the option tools available in the Trader Workstation.

Lamentablemente no domino el idioma inglés. Pierdo una parte importante de la información que se da en los videos. Con subtítulos en español se pierde la atención de lo que muestra la pantalla. Para mi es importante aprender a usar esta plataforma para hacer “Trading” y también para Invertir a largo plazo.

como puedo activar los permisos de negociacion para solo opcciones
Hola, gracias por ponerte en contacto. Para cada cuenta separada, debes solicitar permisos de trading. Puedes ver y gestionar fácilmente tus permisos de trading en cualquier momento en el Portal del Cliente: https://spr.ly/IBKR_TradingPermissions IBKR otorga permisos basados en tu perfil financiero (por ejemplo, edad, patrimonio neto líquido, objetivos de inversión, conocimiento del producto y experiencia previa en trading) y a veces en función de tu ubicación. Ten en cuenta que no podemos divulgar los requisitos necesarios para permisos de trading específicos. Para más información sobre los niveles de Opciones 1-4, visita https://ibkr.info/node/4860
This clip does not seem to match with the options tool as currently available at IBKR. It used to be easy using the strategy builder, but it has changed. For example, when i want to place a covered call, and i populate the ticket with the vehicle i want to buy, when i choose strategy builder so i can put the option leg, the tool abandons the stock leg that i just put in as a first step. Also, when i look for covered call strategy on the list of strategies on the strategy builder page, i don’t find it.
