Options trading is a very difficult thing to learn as a beginner, as there are many moving parts and many concepts to learn simultaneously. In this video, my goal is to bring you from zero to hero in a few hours, even if you don’t know anything about trading options.

We are going to explore the world of options through many examples and graphical illustrations, and explanations simplified as much as possible. My goal for this video is to provide you with an overview of the biggest options trading ideas and get you to a point where you understand the concepts intuitively, and not just things you’ve memorized.
