Course Summary
Track #2: Intermediate
For the options trader who knows the basics and has made a handful of real trades, this course is designed to get you from being simply "aware" of the concepts to being able to scan for setups, choose the right options strategy, and correctly place high probability trades. Even if you have traded options for years but have yet to find consistent success, we highly suggest you complete this curriculum before moving the Advanced section. Don't let the name fool you, this Intermediate course is full of very advanced topics that the vast majority of traders never fully understand.
