As we begin trading in the new year, you may be looking to improve on your performance from last year. If so, great! We have a ton of options trading training resources here on our website that you can tap into. And most of them are free!
Since launching this website in 2011, my team and I have steadily created content that spans important topics: options trading strategies, stock market analysis, economic analysis, interest rates, technical analysis, investing, and more.
In fact, much of our site is built on education. I am passionate about teaching everything I know about options trading, and I invite you to explore the many options trading training resources we have amassed over the years.
12 FREE options trading training resources
Options trading blog
Our blog goes all the way back to 2011! And because we publish a new blog post nearly every week, you can can find well over 500 articles about numerous topics. A quick search will help you find blog posts on when to sell, how to use technical and sentiment indicators, managing risk, options trading 101, and much more.
Options trading webinars
As we’ve gotten busier, I scaled back from weekly to monthly to (now) quarterly webinars. All webinar recordings are published as blog posts, and many cover evergreen topics. You can find upcoming webinars here.
Free trading tutorials
For those just getting started, you can find seven free tutorials and five free ebooks that cover numerous 101 topics. You can also sign up for our 10 day and 30 day directional trading challenges. Lessons are delivered daily via email to space out your education.
Looking for something more advanced? Our 12 day spread trading challenge will, um, challenge you.
Know Your Options book
The second edition of our bestseller, Know Your Options, is the only book on the market that teaches you how to trade options AND use technical analysis. It’s available in paperback and on Kindle.
Options trading newsletters
That’s right – we don’t just send out one newsletter – you can subscribe to three of ’em!
Sign up for the Market Blast, and you’ll get a comprehensive daily newsletter each morning that recaps the prior’s day action and sets the stage for today’s session. You can subscribe at the bottom of today’s Blast.
Daily Bites go out every Monday and Thursday morning. It provides a quick 15-20 minute video review of charts, technicals, and anything that may be moving markets – great preparation for the day. You can subscribe at the bottom of today’s Bite, and you can find the videos on YouTube.
And finally, there is our weekly newsletter, which goes out Friday mornings. It includes an overview of that week’s market action and analysis of what’s to come, plus links to that week’s blog post(s) and chart of the week. Subscribe here.
Chart of the Week
On Wednesdays, we publish a chart of the week on our blog. In this video, you’ll watch me explain the chart (including technicals) of a select stock. The videos are wildly popular, and our most recent charts of the week lead to massive home runs AFTER we recorded and published. You can find them in our blog and on YouTube.
3 paid options trading services
Last but not least we have our three popular paid options trading services.
The directional trading service provides buy/sell trade alerts delivered via email (around 4-5 a week). This is our flagship service that beat the SPX 500 in 2023 by more than 50%. Our portfolio gained 36% versus 24% for the index.
Our spread trading service, Spread Trader, is run by math genius Sam DeMarco, who posted an amazing return in 2023 of 19%. His style of building spread trades is simply stunning, and he manages your risk as if he has his own money on the line – which he often does.
Finally the Chat Room. This is where the action is! With more than 200 traders actively seeking to make money, share trades, and learn from each every single day, it’s become a sanctuary for options traders of every level. It runs on Slack, and we tag my trades so you can easily find them (most of which have been making money).
If you are serious about making money this year, take advantage of these resources. Your portfolio will thank you!
