What we cover in 3 hours
One afternoon. The full picture of options — the honest version.
No indicators-for-sale, no “guaranteed” setups. Just how options really behave, why most traders lose, and how a rules-based system changes the game.
What actually works
- How option prices really move — premium, time decay, volatility
- Buying vs selling: when each has the edge
- Position sizing and defined-risk structures
- The few Greeks that matter in practice
What doesn’t work
- Cheap far-OTM “lottery” buying on expiry
- Averaging losers and moving stop-losses
- Over-trading and revenge trading
- Following tips, Telegram calls and screenshots
Build your own algorithm
- Turning a trading idea into clear, testable rules
- Backtesting honestly — and the traps to avoid
- Connecting to a broker API, step by step
- Risk controls every algo must have
