With only days to go I still need to memorise these… anyone have any suggestions on a simple way to remember all of them?
Thanks!
 
In case my question was ambiguous, I mean remembering all the formulas for cover calls, protective puts, butterflies, bulls etc, etc
 
I wrote a series of articles on option strategies that may be of some help, beginning here: http://www.financialexamhelp123.com/option-strategies/
Full disclosure: as of 4/25 I’ve installed the subscription software on my website, so there’s a charge for viewing the articles.
If you can recall the shapes of the payoff diagrams (practice drawing each one 10 - 20 times), then you shouldn’t have any problems; once you can draw them, building them with individual options is pretty mechanical.
(I, for one, never bother to remember what options you need for any of these things; I build them as I need them, saving my poor little brain stuff for things that I really have to remember, such as where I left my car keys.)
 
You don’t need to memorize the formulas if you understand how each option works.

Remember the diagrams for each strategy, know what are you long and short ,plot the prices you get in the question and you are done
