Risk Doctor – Nuances of the Implied Volatility Skew

For over twenty five years, Author, Lecturer, Teacher, Floor Trader, Financial Software Developer, Consultant, and one of the founders of the second largest options brokerage in the world, Charles Cottle (The Ri$k Doctor), has made a career disseminating information on understanding Financial Services For The Real World.

Charles is currently in the process of writing his third book, Hybrid Hedging in a Click. His first two books, OPTIONS: Perception And Deception, and Coulda Woulda Shoulda are high water marks for the industry.

OPTIONS: Perception And Deception has become a classic of trading literature, the book demonstrates how perception of risk is the key element to successful options trading. In easy-to-understand, down-to-earth language, Charles conveys the Market Maker Paradigm, taught to 1000s of Market Makers, to traders and investors needing hedges, empowering them to understand more about their strategies, leveling the options trading playing field.

Although most options positions contain layers of risk that can lead to huge losses, Charles explains how to eliminate inappropriate risks, adjust positions as the underlying market changes, and optimise the potential of the option positions. No other book so effectively merges option theory with actual market experience.

This diverse background and experience in the industry has brought Charles to the Internet where everyone can benefit from his vast knowledge and experience. Now from your computer, you can join Charles each week and share with other members of his popular Webinars, the important financial information he gives each week.

Charles is also Co-Founder, Board Member and Treasurer of Friends of Kabbalah Centre in Chicago, supporting locally, the endeavors of The Spirituality for Kids Foundation.
