Introduction and Promise
Alright, let me tell you a bit about what this option trading program for beginners is all about. First off, a massive thank you for choosing to join me! I know there are a ton of options out there (pun intended!), and I truly appreciate you taking this leap of faith with me. My main goal here is to get you to a point where you feel confident enough to actually make an option trade in the real market. And you know what? I’m aiming for you to reach that comfort level within the next 25 days, starting with paper trading, of course!
Now, because you’re investing your time and energy into learning this, I want to make you five solid promises right off the bat. You’re serious about becoming a profitable trader, and I think it’s only right that I make some commitments to you.
First, you won’t hear any recycled information from me. Everything I’ll be sharing comes directly from my own trading journey and experiences over the past six-plus years. We’ve been in the trenches, and that’s where this knowledge comes from.
Second, by the time you finish this course in the next 25 days, you should feel comfortable enough to place a trade with your own broker. You’ll have the knowledge to execute a specific strategy confidently. And while I hope you’ll be eager to try it out, I highly recommend sticking to a paper money account for at least three to six months to really get a feel for the market’s ups and downs and to fine-tune your trading psychology – that’s a huge part of being profitable!
Third, I’m not going to be showing you some fake, simulated account. You’ll see me using my actual trading account – we use a few different platforms, but I’ll primarily be using Thinkorswim or Charles Schwab for this program. So, when I show you how to execute trades and what strategies look like, you’re seeing the real deal. Just a heads-up though, you might see some of my trades in there, but please don’t copy them directly, as there’s always a specific context to why I’ve made those particular moves. I’ll be teaching you plenty of strategies you can practice in your own paper money account.
Fourth, all the resources and documentation I’ll be sharing with you are things we’ve either learned from during our six-plus years of trading or tools we still use every single day. Knowing which resources are valuable is crucial because there’s so much noise online, with people trying to sell you all sorts of things. That’s why I want to be upfront with you.
And that leads to my fifth promise: I will absolutely not be upselling you on anything during or after this program. That’s not what we’re about. Our goal is to genuinely help you understand the incredible potential of trading as a secondary income stream – something I believe everyone should know how to do. I even want my kids to learn this so they have more options in their lives. The market doesn’t care who you are; the knowledge is there for you to tap into.
Now, let me give you a little context about why we’re doing this. A few years back, my wife and I had some savings, and we made what turned out to be a massive learning lesson in managing our own money. We handed it over to a broker to invest. Unfortunately, that portfolio ended up losing something like 26% of the money we put in! To put that in perspective, if it was a million dollars, we lost $260,000. It was a tough pill to swallow. And on top of that, we were paying this guy $2,500 every single month to manage this account – and he was losing our money! It got to a point where I just said, “No more. There has to be a better way.” We didn’t even understand what he was telling us or why he was making the decisions he was.
So, we pulled the plug, liquidated everything, and spent the next six months diving deep into what I’m about to teach you. We started trading our own accounts and quickly realized that there was a real opportunity to make money through option trading. We learned a ton, made our fair share of mistakes along the way, but it’s brought us to where we are today, six years later.
I’m sharing this story because I know many of you might be in a similar situation. You might have a lump sum of money or a 401k, and you’re not really sure what to do with it. The typical advice is to put it in a high-yield savings account, buy bonds, or invest in ETFs. And if you go that route, you’ll likely end up with a broker charging you fees. I want to tell you that you can manage your own money. You can learn the necessary skills and strategies to grow your wealth without having to rely on someone else who might not have your best interests at heart.
Finally, I want to be crystal clear: this program is not a get-rich-quick scheme. But it will give you the ability to generate income throughout your life. How you manage your funds and grow your wealth with this knowledge is entirely up to you. I won’t be showing you some magic button to press for instant riches.
With all that said, I am incredibly excited to share this information with you. It has literally changed my wife’s and my life. We have the freedom to live and travel wherever we want, all because we can trade from anywhere. And that’s what I hope to help you achieve as well. We only have one life, and being able to live it to the fullest is so important. So, let’s jump in and get started!
