A lesson from the course: an option explained on a whiteboard

145 lessons. 10.6 hours. Five levels, from your first option to a dealer's gamma book.

Options can completely change how you see a market. They changed how I see it.

If we haven't met before: hi, I'm Komey. I started trading S&P 500 index options in 2011, as a proprietary trader. Back then, an option looked like a lottery ticket to me: pay a little, hope for a lot.

Over the next decade I learned the other side of it. Options are a way to decide your risk before you take it: how much you can lose, where you break even, and what time and volatility will do to your price while you wait.

Today I run a delta-neutral volatility strategy on S&P 500 options and futures. That means I earn from the structure of the options market, not from guessing whether prices go up or down.

This Academy is the path I wish I'd had in 2011: every idea in the order you need it, drawn on a whiteboard, and checked with a quiz before you move on.

and every number on the board comes from a real pricing model, not a guess

The simple "secret" formula

There's no secret to trading options with a plan.
It's just a matter of:

🎯

Defining

your maximum loss before you place the trade

🧭

Choosing

the strategy that fits your view of the market

Follow it and you know the worst case before every trade. It seems simple in theory. The execution is harder: which strike, which expiry, what volatility is doing to your price, and what to do when the trade goes against you. That's exactly what the Academy is for.

How, without a maths degree?

You learn it in pictures. That's the secret.

The first lesson starts with a pair of sneakers, not a formula. Every idea arrives as something you can see: a price line moving, a payoff graph bending as time runs out. The maths only shows up as labels on the board. In the Academy you build the skills for:

📋Reading an option chain

🎚️Choosing the strike and expiry

🏷️Knowing when an option is expensive

⚖️Sizing every trade

🔁Closing, rolling or holding

🧮Reading a whole portfolio's risk

🛡️Hedging against a crash

and no, it isn't just theory. every lesson ends with a quiz.

The Academy condenses fourteen years of options trading into an immersive, self-paced course.

Start at lesson 1

Beginner, then Intermediate

You have never traded an option, and the words sound like a foreign language. You start with a pair of sneakers and finish able to read any option chain, price a covered call and build your first spread.

You have bought a few calls and puts, but the results feel random: right about the direction and still losing money. You learn why that happens (time and volatility), then move on to spreads, skew and reading the whole position.

Wait, did you say free bonuses?

Yes. We've bundled in three, so you can practise what you learn:

Free bonus 1

The Payoff Graph Simulator

Build any position, from a single call to an iron condor, and watch the profit and loss graph change as you move the price, the days left and the volatility. The same maths as the lessons.

Free bonus 2

The Strategy Lab

54 strategies on one shelf: covered strangles, jade lizards, broken-wing butterflies, calendars and more. Each one explained with its graph, its best case, its worst case and when it fits.

Free bonus 3

The student community

A private space to ask questions, share what you're learning and work through trade scenarios with other students.

Fair questions

Straight answers.

"I've never traded anything."

Then start at lesson 1. It assumes you know nothing, explains every word the first time it appears, and checks you understood with a short quiz before you move on.

"I don't have much time."

Most lessons run four to six minutes. One lesson and its quiz a day takes about ten minutes, and the portal remembers exactly where you stopped.

"Isn't options trading just gambling?"

It can be, if you buy options without knowing what you can lose. The whole course is built around the opposite: knowing your maximum loss, your breakeven and your plan before you place a trade.

"Will this course make me money?"

No course can promise that, and this one doesn't. Options carry real risk, and you can lose money trading them. What the course gives you is the knowledge to understand every trade you place, and the habit of sizing risk before you take it.

"What happens after the course?"

You keep lifetime access. Students who want more can join Elite Membership ($97 a month: live desk sessions, trade reviews and new lessons) or apply for 1:1 Mentorship with Isaac Tekeste.

"Can I try it before I commit?"

Yes. The 5-Day Challenge gives you the full Beginner level for $99, with a live session with Isaac Tekeste every evening. If you go on to the full course, the $99 comes off the price. See the challenge.

Your options education is one system away.
