We've painstakingly outlined this course so that each lesson focuses on the most important topics to help you quickly hack the options trading learning curve. Take your time as you work through each tutorial and don't be shy about asking questions along the way.
Super informative and easy to understand!
This is great. Just getting started with options and this clarified some of my questions. Looking forward to more.
I found the Option Alpha's Beginner Track to be extremely helpful. Kirk has a great approach to explaining options and options strategies that make it easier to understand than other courses I have taken. I was able to complete the course quickly without feeling overwhelmed by lots of technical jargon. Technical issues are explained with examples that are available in popular trading platform layouts. I am looking forward to continuing my options education in the next track.
Thanks for the awesome review Lisa! Great to hear you found this track a helpful start!
Finally, the option business model was explained. I look forward to future videos. Thanks Kirk for making this info available, and for all the time you spent putting it altogether.
Glad it's helping!
Explicação clara das diferentes negociaçãoes de CALL e PUT e na sequência correta; adoro a transcrição para a lingua portuguesa, sem a transcrição teria muitas dificuldades para entender tudo. Obrigado pelo excelente conteúdo e pela transcrição.
I’m brand new at options. Watched the first 2 videos and have a better understanding than I ever had with options. I really have a good foundation to go off now. I knew I wasn’t lacking intelligence and I fully plan to see this through. You teach well and clearly I still have a lot to learn but I am more confident that through trial and error I will become profitable.
Thanks for the kind words and glad it's helping Andrew!
Great video for newbie!
Thanks for the feedback Amanda. Great to hear this is helping!
The video was clear and concise about the 5 components of an option.
Thanks Cleo!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
I would just love to see some charts of the different greeks. I would be very nice.
Great idea we can try to add to the next round of updates! Thanks Felice!
I've just started the course and I'm enjoying re-learning about options from a trading perspective. The materials provided are excellent and Kirk is a very good teacher going through the subject matter at the right pace.
Fantastic explanations! A ton of effort put in here to put our the highest level content. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the kind words Patrick!
Listening to the videos in the beginner track has taught me many things such as debit spreads (which I trade) need increased implied volatility near expiration to increase the value of the option. Likewise credit spreads needs decreased volatility near expiration to increase the credit. I did not know this until I watched all the videos in the beginner track.
New to options and I am hopefully learning a lot that I can use during my trades. I am getting the same amount of information for free that other websites charge hundreds of dollars for.
I appreciate how simplified this was made, I gave the rating because despite not understanding everything completely I got the general idea of how the buyer has the option to buy stock at a higher price (strike price) in the future once they paid the premium, and the buyer has the assignment, and obligation to fulfill that order of they agreed to the options contract.
Simple and straight to the point, no fluff.
That was the goal - thanks for the feedback Christopher!
Because you are unbelievable. I'm appreciate you so much. Thank you for all!! You are the best.
Thank you Aharon for the kind words.
Presentation was clear and concise for understanding.
Extraordinary! Thank you so simple and clear to understand.
Once again the concept was explained very thoroughly in easily understood language.
Explained very well and easy to understand with lots of relative information, even if it's 7 years old. hahahaha
Ha! Yep, even though it's been around for a while the concepts are still helpful.
Exceptionally clear information and the way to explain everything.
Quality of what I learned.
