You can trade on any options trading platform you choose! If you use ThinkOrSwim you’ll be able to use our ThinkOrSwim chart layouts and indicators (included in the course). However, the course still teaches you how to trade with or without using our chart and indicators.

This is for both new and experienced traders and analysts to help them setup their ThinkOrSwim trading platform and use our indicators to find and trade setups. If you’re brand new with no prior options trading experience, this course would be a great place to get started, but you can always feel free to check out our coaching products for more trading help!

Most trades last between 1 day to 3 weeks

The short answer is yes, however it really depends on your schedule. The strategies we share are meant to take up to 15-30 minutes of your day. Active trading hours for most stocks and ETFs are 9:30am-4pm EST, so you can only enter and exit trades during those hours. If you’re working during that time, you could do most of your chart analysis before or after work, and then take some time during your lunch break to actually enter your trades. Also, we can show you how you set your trades up to automatically close for profit to make your life easier (…but sometimes you’ll want to close them manually to get profits too!). So, even though you don’t need to be at the computer all day long, you’ll ideally want to still have access to your phone during trading hours. (You could use the ThinkOrSwim mobile app to close out of trades when you’re working or on the go. It literally takes just a few seconds to do!)

Yes! With stock options you have the flexibility to set up a trade to profit if the stock price is moving up, down or even sideways.

When you first get started you’ll want to trade in your Demo account to get some trading experience without risking your own capital. But once you’re ready to trade for real profits in your Live account, I highly recommend starting with at least $1,000 (but $5,000 or more is ideal!)

Obviously, we cannot guarantee what your financial situation will be over the next several weeks or months since how much you earn is relative. It depends on how much money you have to initially invest, how much you practice your trade strategies, and how consistent you are with your trading. Some people have a goal to use trading as their main income source, but many people use trading as one of multiple income sources (which we HIGHLY recommend because it’s always GREAT to have multiple streams of income!) The average goal is to trade for up to 30 minutes per day M-F and place about 3-10 trades each week (depending on how much you want to trade). We typically share strategies that are targeting 50-100% profits depending on how aggressively you’re trading.

You could theoretically make money on the very first day on your very first trade. But, you’re not going to see true consistency after just ONE trade… you have to keep placing trades to see consistent results from your trading. So, instead of asking “how long before I start making money?” you should instead be asking “how long before I start seeing consistency?” If you follow our systematic trading process where you get the win rates FIRST and then properly price your trades based on that win rate, then you will start to see consistency. After all, your success is all about the numbers! If you have the right win rates and pricing, the probabilities of success are ALWAYS on your side! You just have to have discipline and be patient enough over your first several trades to see the probabilities work out in your favor.
