Protecting Profits: A Simple Guide to the Collar Options Strategy

Webinar Recorded on Jun 4, 2025  | 1 hour Download Slides (PDF)

Webinar Description

How do you lock in gains after a strong rally in your favorite stocks without abandoning future upside potential? This webinar dives deep into the protective collar options strategy—a professional-grade options technique that limits downside risk while maintaining controlled exposure to the upside. We'll explore how to assess market volatility, identify optimal timing for implementing collars, and use Barchart's protective collar screener to help when protection is most needed.

You'll learn to select the right strikes, evaluate expiration choices, and construct a collar that aligns with your risk tolerance and market outlook. We'll walk through a real-time evaluation of a collar setup using current market data to demonstrate cost considerations, volatility analysis, and risk/reward calculations. Beyond basic protection, you'll uncover additional benefits such as fostering trading discipline, reducing emotional decision-making, and maintaining strategic flexibility. Whether you're managing a concentrated position or seeking a more innovative way to hedge gains, this session will provide the tools and insights to implement protective collars confidently.
