Reading the market regime before prices move
Reading the market regime before prices move
A step-by-step course in trading US options: 3 tracks and 15 chapters, from the first concept to advanced strategies, with a quiz in every chapter that explains each answer.
You start learning with enthusiasm: you follow YouTube channels, read scattered articles, then think you are ready to trade. You open your first options trade and are surprised that the stock moves your way while your contract loses value. The cause is usually scattered content that does not explain the Greeks or the drop in implied volatility after earnings (IV Crush). Learning without an order leaves these gaps open until a losing trade exposes them.
We built the tracks to be read in order: the contract first, then its pricing and schedule, then strategies with worked examples that show the maximum profit and maximum loss, then what happens around major events. Every term is explained the first time it appears.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| A method built in levels | You learn concepts in an order where each builds on the last: the contract, then its pricing, then the strategy and its risks. |
| The Greeks and implied volatility (IV) explained | Understand why your contract's price changes with the stock, time and volatility, and how to read the risk numbers. |
| Practical strategies like the Wheel | Each strategy comes with a worked example: maximum profit, maximum loss, the breakeven point, and when it doesn't fit. |
| Focused written content | Read a chapter in a few minutes, then test yourself with questions that explain every answer. |

Yes. The beginner track starts with what a contract is, then covers pricing and reading the chain, and ends with the steps of a first trade and its risk limits.

No. The first three chapters of every track are open to everyone. After that you need your email, and the advanced track needs a free account.
Combining two chapters in the income track: sell a Cash-Secured Put on a stock you'd accept owning, and if the stock is assigned to you, sell a Covered Call against it. You collect premium in both stages, and the risk is the stock's own decline.
