In the beginning, we thought of developing an education curriculum that would allow novice traders to learn to trade options. It simply did not make sense since we knew of so many programs out there that already did such a tremendous job — and they were FREE!
Below you will find what we believe are the best resources available.
The Options Industry Council
The best resource available is the website operated by The Options Industry Council. The OIC was formed in 1992. Today, its sponsors include the American Stock Exchange, the Boston Options Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the International Securities Exchange, NASDAQ, NYSE Arca, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and The Options Clearing Corporation. It was created to educate investors and their financial advisors about the benefits and risks of exchange-traded equity options. Visit The Options Industry Council
Virtual Trading Platform
The most important element of the learning process when trading options is practice. The Options Industry Council offers a virtual trading platform for you to practice trading options before using real money. We recommend trading with a virtual trading platform for a minimum of 6 months before placing a trade with real money. Get a Virtual Trading Account
