4.1.8.2. Futures Options

For both futures and futures options, margin requirements are calculated daily by the exchange on which the commodities are trading. Margin requirements for these products vary more frequently and less predictably than equity options because the margin calculation is based, not only on the market price of the underlying position, but also its volatility and the exchange’s perception of its risk. Each exchange determines risk through the use of a pricing model

I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

David Woolfenden Totem London

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

The audio book was fantastic, and I passed the Series 65 on my first attempt. Thank you!

Steve O'Dell, Merrill Lynch, Westchester, NY

I found encouragement along the way from reading other people's testimonials, so payback is to write one of my own. Solomon is the gold standard for customer service. I passed the 66, SIE first tries -- received a 69% on the 7 (failed), but passed on the 2nd attempt. I'm in awe over the outreach I received from day 1 but especially from Jeremy on how to move forward after falling short on the Series 7 - followed his advice - one of which was to get the accompanying videos and passed. Watching/studying the Chapter 5 video had a big impact. I also printed the questions I got wrong that I particularly struggled with while taking the online exams, printed and/or turned them into flashcards, then taped many of them around the house. It forced me to constantly revisit the information and moved me past a superficial understanding. I'll take a messy-looking home for a short time than having to retake a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.

I passed the Series 7 on my first attempt after using the Solomon study book and practice tests. The practice tests were crucial in understanding how the official exam would ask questions and greatly benefited me.
