Options Course FAQs

Unlock a new income stream and own stocks at a discount by selling options (no experience necessary)

​

​

What will you be covering in the course? 

Lots! Here are some of the most important parts:

​

1) The basics - what exactly are options? Understanding the basics and how to make money with options. 

​

2) Stock selection - how I pick stocks on my watchlist to trade with confidence. You get my full watchlist too. 

​

3) My 10 step checklist to placing a trade. 

​

4) Rolling - how to manage positions that don't go your way, and still make money at the end of it. 

​

5) Risk management - how to manage a portfolio to make sure you don't get any margin calls or liquidation events.

​​

By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and practical skills to confidently place trades own your own.

When will the course be held?

​

By popular demand, the course now takes a hybrid approach. Once you sign up, all the class recordings and materials are available for you to watch and learn at your own pace.

​

On top of that, there are 8 weeks of live training from 10 July 2025 to 28 August 2025 from 9:30am ET

​

The live sessions last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on what the market conditions are that day. 

​

The cost of the course in 2025 is $899 USD.

​

Why should I listen to you?

I’ve been trading options since 2013 and believe me I’ve done it all. I’ve bought options, sold options, tried the condors, the butterflies, the lizards, the wheel and everything in between before settling on my strategy.

​

I also post my monthly cashflow from options on Instagram and show what I’m doing to my own portfolio in my newsletter.

​

Most people don't offer this level of transparency into their trading, so you can follow along there first and see if you like what you see.

​

This is also the 9th course I'm offering since 2022. Hundreds of people have taken this course and unlocked a new income stream for themselves.

 

What’s the difference between your course and all the other courses out there?

The short answer is that the course is live, and I trade my real portfolio for you to see.

​

The live aspect means you have direct access to me in real time to discuss and clarify any questions on the spot.

​

Honestly learning the “textbook” stuff about options isn’t difficult. It’s the mentality and managing of the ongoing trades that trip people up. That’s where I’ve lost money.

​

That’s why the weekly live sessions will be important so I can show how I’m managing my own portfolio and trades as well as the thought process behind them, and you can ask questions about your trades and get my opinion (not advice!) in return.

​

Being able to react to market movements in real time and interpret what it means for a portfolio is a critical skill. During the meltdown in the markets caused by tariffs in April 2025, the portfolio didn't just hang in there - it thrived. You will be able to follow along and see and learn from my experience managing different market conditions.

​

By trading my own portfolio, I have skin in the game too. If my trades work out and make money, great. If they don't, I'll be showing you how I manage them too.

 

Is your course beginner friendly?

Yes! Roughly 80% of people in my course have never heard of or trade options before. By the end of the course they were placing trades with confidence on their own. In fact, I've found that people will no experience tend to perform better because they don't have baggage and bad habits to unlearn.

​

I am confident you can do the same if you dedicate the time and effort necessary to learn the basics, and follow along the live sessions to familiarize yourself with the strategies.

​

Here is a very small sample size of feedback I've received from complete beginners.

​

Is it relevant for people from other countries?

Yes! To date people who have taken my course come from all over including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, the UK, & the US.

​

As long as you have access to a broker that lets you sell options, you can benefit from this course.

​​

How much capital do I need to get started?

The absolute minimum I would consider is $10,000, but I would really recommend $20,000 - $25,000. If your capital is too small, it will limit the amount of trades you can place, which is likely to result in less profit.

​

How much time do I need?

I spend about 20-30 minutes a day (when the market is open), but you can commit as little as 15 minutes a week. This isn’t day trading!
 

What time will live trading sessions be?

Every Thursday when the market opens (9:30am EST).

 

I think it’s important to be able to trade while the market is open, so this session will be more or less fixed around this timeslot.

 

I also want to do it on Thursdays because options expire on Fridays - so anyone who can’t join in can still catch up with the recorded video on Thursday evening and still have time to take any necessary action on Friday.

​

What if I can’t make it for the live training?

All videos will be recorded and uploaded within the day they are conducted for you to catch up. Unfortunately the live trading sessions need to be done while the market is open, so those days and times will be fixed.

​​

​

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing! All you need is an open mind.

 

However, if you want to maximize your learning, I would recommend funding a brokerage account (or a paper trading account) that has options trading enabled so that you can follow along.

​

Which brokerage should I use?

For the course I will be sharing screenshots and videos from my Tastytrade account and strongly recommend you use the same so you can follow along precisely which buttons to click etc.

​

That said, brokers are largely similar, so you can use any platform and should be fine.

​

Will I make money?

Yes. That’s the whole point of this class! 

​

Since September 2022, I've been trading a public portfolio as part of this course and shared over 120 public trades. 

​

In the 32 months since September 2022 (as of April 2025), each month has turned a profit.

​

As of April 2025, the oldest trade that exists in the portfolio was placed on 21 March 2025. In other words every single trade from September 2022 to 21 March 2025 has been closed for a profit.

​

Will I lose money?

If you follow my steps, it’s very unlikely unless you panic sell or the stock itself goes to zero. Both of these outcomes can happen if you are investing in regular stocks.

 

Of course if some country launches a nuclear missile and the market tanks 50% in one day, all bets are off.

​

​

How can you teach while being anonymous?

I’ve told this story before, but I personally paid $700/year for many years to learn options at fullyinformed.com. The coach says she’s an older lady from Canada - but would I know? I’ve never seen them or heard them speak.

​

They know their stuff, I learnt a lot, and that’s all that matters. I’ve linked to their website so you can explore and see if that’s a better fit for you.

​

If this is going to be an issue for you, please do not sign up for the course.

​

Why would anyone need this? There’s lots of free information out there.

I absolutely agree! Please explore the free stuff before signing up for this.

 

I personally have spent over $5k on options courses and subscriptions, but have learnt a lot from Tastytrade videos, which are free.

 

I’m doing this because a lot of people have asked, and I recognize that having someone to teach and hold your hand, especially in the beginning stages, can be useful.

​

I also think the market will extract "tuition fees" one way or another. You can pay someone to teach you how to avoid some mistakes, or you can pay the market while learning those mistakes firsthand.
