Options Trading for Beginners: Calls, Puts & Income (Udemy.com)

Overall the course was good at introducing option concepts and strategies. I felt that it got a bit off once the strategy sections ended at section 20. I see the value of the VIX sections but it was not clear how those areas integrated with the rest of the course. I do not regret taking the course and it should be kept in mind that not everything can be covered. It still would have been nice to get a section on Ratio Spreads since they are mentioned later in the course. I would also have been interested in book recommendations either generally or specifically for the course. I followed along with The High Probability Options Trader by Marcel Link and Trading Option Greeks by Dan Passarelli and both of those books hit most of the stuff covered in the course. If you are trying to learn about trading options I would recommend this course.

excellent .5. stars.For an excellent format. very good topics on moneyness-VIX-and greeks ( 1rst order) lambda missing-very important for long positions and type of strikes to select++ excellent topic on dividend risk. Good survey of most well-known trades. ( IC,BF, CS , longC and P, short positions well explained,and so on) Lesson on unbalanced BF and IC. requested in my. opinion. ( advanced course?) Good. introduction to hedging Delta and Vega risk on a portfolio.the way to do it properly the advanced-advanced course? critical for large portfolio+++ I think it should be emphasized. that the profit with Vega trades are 6 times the theta trades profits.Volatility trading is far superior to premium selling. but with more risks. and probably not advocated for beginners.Some trades are clearly dangerous if Vega and IV risk are not well understood ( Short strangle-put credit spreads.. put front ratio etc..) because of Vega and Vomma.and. Vanna risks.They need a careful management. maybe it should be interesting to insist on the importance of IV rank-percentile and the relative IV rank for each strike for selecting the appropriate strikes for trades at the beginning, embedding at start some profit ( dynamic differences of skews/days).itt makes the difference at the end.The "classical " reverse skew (smile-smirk) shown on numerous platforms is insufficient and doesn't provide this important info.

I have absolutely zero confidence in determining when and where I would use the strategies in the current market. When would I buy a CRWD or AAPL Call or Put? Based on what? My prediction of where I think it's going to go in the next week, two weeks, or two months? Although I understand the lingo of ITM, OTM, ATM, Strike, Calls, Puts, etc. I currently feel like I would be going into options trading with a blindfold on and hoping for the best. Very disappointed! However, I was excited to learn "options trading", but in reality I learned about "options" only.

i got the knowledge of options world through simple and easy perspective. you have explained all things well in plain english . your course content is having more visuals that helped me to understand different concepts. quiz at the end of each section was very helpful. the course worths the price i have paid for it . i would like to suggest to add some premium buying strategies as well and tell how we can benefit from them and when to use them. overall the course is amazing . i would like to appreciate your efforts and going to purchase your next advanced course as well. thank you for adding value.

This is the best course that i have seen or purchased on this topic and as i am a big fan of mathematics i love some of your concepts on that and not just only that but the explanation too. if someone have a prior knowledge on stocks they should enrolled the course because it might be helpful for your perspective on stock market and it will change the way you look for it. the best part for me is the price ranging and Implied volatility section. great knowledge ✌

I took a course for beginner options trading in the past and didn’t learn enough about trading options. I’m taking this course as a refresher. This course teaches important information not taught in most option trading beginner courses. The Instructor teaches this course in a clear and detailed manner. This is the course that will build an option trading foundation for you now and in the future.

The course exceeded my expectations. It went into more depth and detail than I had anticipated. There was good analysis of basic options, greeks, volatility, option strategies, VIX, option concepts, and portfolio management. The sections on liquidity was good as I have seen traders lose money by entering into illiquid trades. I recommend this course and will take the advanced course.

WOW, this course went way above my expectations. It was everything that I wanted in a course! If you're like me and require a THOROUGH view of a subject in order for you to understand the BIG Picture, than this is the course for you! This course shows you what is needed to become a Professional Options Trader! Thanks to the instructor, I now have the blueprint I need in order to build my Options Career! Thank You

This course is a little of what I wanted, however, there is too much emphasis placed on the formulas. Also, more examples of actual stock ticker symbols should be displayed, rather than verbally explained; when you visually see what's written down of a stock example, it is better to understand things. I'm not sure if you will do this later in the course, but if you have a written example of a stock, you need to show how instrinsic and extrinsic values, and the greeks play a part in choosing a stock option to trade. More reviews later as I continue through the course.

The instructor is very knowlegeable and the material is very educational for all levels of students. Now I would love for the same person to teach a course on how to use the knowledge on volatility to predict sentiment of traders in terms of direction of trade. Specifically, also use volume and open interest for calls and puts with volatility skew to predict direction of trade. Thanks!
