Curriculum (draft)
Eight modules. Final lessons may change before launch.
Module 1: Options without the hype
What an option is, why most single-leg buyers lose, and what 'defined risk' means.
Module 2: The vertical spread
Debit and credit spreads, max loss, max gain and breakeven, on real SPY chains.
Module 3: Position sizing that survives
1% risk, the sizing formula, daily and weekly stops, and why size is the real strategy.
Module 4: Costs, fills and liquidity
Bid/ask spreads, limit orders at the mid, and skipping markets that are too wide.
Module 5: Setups and a trading plan
Rules-based entries, exits fixed in advance, sit-out days around big reports.
Module 6: The journal and your stats
Win rate, profit factor, expectancy and drawdown, and how to read them honestly.
Module 7: Paper to automation
How a simple bot runs on a broker's paper API, and the safety switches it needs.
Module 8: Psychology and process
Losing streaks, rule breaks, and when to stop and go back to paper.
