The single mission of this site is to teach you, the reader, how to make money trading stock options.

It is assumed you already know the basics of calls, puts, spreads, straddles, and buying options versus writing options. The focus here is on going beyond basic knowledge of the fundamentals of various stock option trading strategies, to a practical understanding of how to consistently make money trading stock options in the real world.

This is a free educational site developed by a former stockbroker and commodity pool operator based on over 20 years of his real-life option trading experience trading thousands of option contracts. Actual trading examples are used where appropriate, and essential concepts are taught based on investment experience trading with real money, not academic theory or arcane mathematical models or statistics.

Examples are provided for educational purposes only, with regard to how various option strategies might potentially be affected by future price movements in the underlying stocks.

Nothing on this web site is to be construed as investment advice.

Stock option trading involves risks unsuitable for most investors because you can lose all of your money and be liable for additional unlimited losses depending on the strategies you employ. Before ever risking real money, you must read the free CBOE publication Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options and you should practice the strategies with fictitious paper trading. For real option investing assistance you should engage the services of an experienced and qualified stock option broker or financial advisor who specializes in stock options.
