Master Options Strategies That Actually Work in Real Markets

Most traders lose money because they chase patterns without understanding market structure. We teach you how volatility really behaves and why timing matters more than direction.

Building Better Trading Methods Since 2019

We started because too many people were getting sold miracle systems. Six years later, we're still focused on teaching what the math actually says.

2019

Started With Real Questions

A small group in Taipei wanted honest answers about derivatives pricing. No guarantees, just probability. We built our first workshop around actual order flow data.

2021

Expanded Focus to Volatility

Markets got weird during that period. Everyone wanted quick trades. We added modules on risk management and position sizing because those basics still matter more than fancy indicators.

2023

Launched Structured Programs

We noticed people needed longer learning curves. So we created multi-month tracks focused on building systematic approaches rather than chasing setups.

2025 and Beyond

Current Focus on Asian Markets

Our autumn 2025 cohort starts in September. We're emphasizing regional dynamics and cross-market relationships that matter for traders in this timezone.

Quick Concepts That Make Difference

These aren't secrets. Just things that click when someone explains them clearly.

Volatility Isn't Random

It clusters, mean-reverts, and spikes at predictable intervals. Understanding this changes how you structure trades.

Timing Windows Matter

Options decay predictably. Certain times of day show better liquidity. Earnings cycles create opportunities. You can't control markets but you can pick better spots to enter positions. This isn't about prediction — it's about probability.

Position Sizing First

Most losses come from being too large, not from bad setups.

Spreads Reduce Guesswork

Single legs amplify directional risk. Spreads define boundaries. You give up unlimited upside but gain consistency in outcomes.

Market Context Changes

What worked in 2021 doesn't work now. Correlation patterns shift. Fed policy impacts everything. We update our teaching based on current conditions rather than backtested fantasies from different regimes.

Greeks Aren't Abstract

Delta, gamma, theta — they tell you how positions behave. Learn to read them naturally.

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

Our programs run for several months because that's how long it takes to internalize risk management. Quick weekend courses sound nice but they don't stick.

  • Weekly sessions covering specific strategies — iron condors, calendar spreads, ratio backspreads. We walk through real examples from recent market conditions.
  • Practice scenarios using historical data. You need to see how positions evolve over time, especially when things go sideways.
  • Risk calculation workshops where you learn to size positions based on account size and volatility environment rather than gut feeling.
  • Analysis of actual trades — both winners and losers. The losses teach more than the wins if you pay attention to what went wrong.

Lead Instructor

I've been trading options since 2014 and teaching since 2019. Started on prop desks where bad risk management gets you fired fast. That experience shaped how I approach education — focus on not losing rather than chasing wins.

These days I work with small groups because personalized feedback matters. Our next cohort starts September 2025. If you want straightforward instruction without the hype, reach out.
