Not showing how to trade options using technical analysis. Total disconnection between the two sides of the course. Options part is exactly the same as other courses by the intructor

By Gene McBeath on 1/25/2025

This is a great course for an overview of stock and option trading. It's a good handshake to the basic concepts. But don't expect any in-depth conversation. In other words, this isn't an in-depth analysis. The instructor goes by too fast and assumes you know the terminology. If you don't, like me, you must pause the video, rewind, and listen to sections repeatedly. If you are a total newbie to stock options, this isn't the best introduction. There's a lot of terminology that might not be intuitive. I had to listen to the lecture on vertical options for several times before I got it. Hopefully, the other courses in the series will drive the concepts home.

By Philippe Jacques on 11/6/2024

Great course, touches on many basics of trading and I learned many new terms related to options.

By Michael Wojciechowski on 7/6/2021

Excellent presentation, good information, easy to follow. A little time to get use to the accent but no problems with this. Highly recommend this entire series from Kal

By Mike K. on 3/11/2021

Overall a very quick rundown of both TA and buying option spreads with 2 different teachers but there's no bridge between the 2 and how to apply TA when options trading, would like to see that bridge established for better applicability.

By Emily Theaker on 9/27/2020

Very easy to understand. I watched all the videos on mobile. Some of the intro videos were review for me but I was definitely able to learn new things later. Overall, great for a establishing a solid foundation for trading.

By Jason Harrell on 7/14/2020

Simple and concise.

By Jayatu Sen on 7/3/2020

Great course to start. But one should never start trading just by these courses. They need to burn more midnight oil to step in the option/future market.

By April J Mack on 3/19/2020

This was truly a crash course! It went very fast, so be sure to stop at each break to take notes and ensure you understand the concept. I recommend taking more courses from Sharper Trades, they are great!

By Iurie Bejenaru on 7/6/2019

Everything is good for me in this course. Luca is explaining things very clearly and with a good level of details.
