Welcome to the Beginner Course. Here you will learn all the basics of options. This is a great way for a newcomer to get into options trading (or a way for a more-experienced trader to refresh his knowledge). Note that the Beginner course is quite short and its purpose is to give a basic understanding of options and other important concepts. You should be able to move on to the Intermediate course relatively fast. As always if you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to ask them directly in the comment section under each lesson.
The following content is the course outline. I highly recommend starting at the top. You will always be able to go back to older articles.
