The idea is to have this entirely online, through a Skype listen-only conference (for the most part), using online shared whiteboard software and a shared presentation. Details will be ironed out once I know we have enough interest.
Course duration: 2 hours or so. Keeping this open but will not exceed three hours.
Contents:
- The concept of stock and index futures
- Lot sizes, Expiry Dates, and Instruments
- Option Basics, Strike Prices, Puts/Calls
- Trading in India, liquidity and m
- Risk, Hedging, Speculation
- Q&A
- Not covered: Concepts like Straddles, Strangles, Spreads, Covered calls etc. Another day for those.
The entire audio will be recorded and placed online later as an archive.
Cost: Free. I reserve the right to eventually make this a business, but right now it will be free.
Are you interested? Please comment on this post, send me mail (deepakshenoy at gmail) or enter this form.
Update: Thanks for the response! I have received more than 200 registrations and I will provide more info in further posts.
Note: Suggestions and comments are much appreciated, even if you think I am not the right person to learn from. I've always liked to train, as it helps me learn too. And yes, this could be a future calling, I don't know.

>deepak,
think its a good idea – helps everyone esp the timings
11.24.08 at 6:14 PM
>i sure am
this is very useful to the bookish people who most often know the basic concepts but shy away due to lack of practical knowledge
ps u can upload it on you tube as it will really be useful for all investors

>Will be useful. Am in the US – so not sure if the time zone diff would work out. But if it does – will attend.

>Nice idea, will keep an eye/ear out for this one.
Monetization will be a tough nut to crack.
Does this future calling have to do anything with the downturn? :-)
11.24.08 at 8:54 PM
>Ofcourse will be very useful and looking fwd to it.

11.25.08 at 12:27 AM
>Yeah.. I will be interested. Since this is free, it is better to make a video and put it on youtube. If you want to take questions. Release the youtube video only to this audience initially.

>Thanks deepak,i guess i too once requested you to share your knowledge of options,i know about future trading but options is a tough nut to crack,or may be not that straight forward,and it would be great to learn this art from the master himself.
Also deepak as the saying goes that F&O is a gift that always takes:)…..so please in that session please add 15 more minutes and give some practical fundas/parameter to be checked while going in for a particular trade,i guess the so very special systems made by you and kaushik must be based around these fundas,dont share the systems ,you dont have to,but please sir do share some indicators which may be of great help to individual investors.
Best Regards.
