Bootcamp - Options Trading Basics and Advanced Strategies
The first training program dedicated entirely to options trading — live theory and real trading practice, taught over Zoom.
The First Bootcamp Built for Options Trading Mastery
Most courses train you for a skill you then have to land a job to cash in on — and prove yourself all over again before it pays off. This one's different: with as little as $500 to $1,000 in capital, you can start earning right away.
Kids' summer camps charge $30 an hour to keep children busy. For $33 an hour, you can learn a skill that pays you back for life — one flexible enough to run from anywhere, and durable enough to be your safety net if you ever lose a job. It beats driving for Uber or DoorDash, and unlike gig work, it scales.
This isn't just a work-from-home hustle or side income. Done right, it's a fixed-return strategy — the kind that can outpace the 10–12% SPY hands you every year.
$1,000 can become $1,000,000. Or a steady paycheck every month. Or a long-term strategy earning 20%+ a year, sized to the risk you're comfortable taking.
Fundamentals. Strategies. And above all, the patience and discipline to trade them well — that's the real path to financial freedom.
Tell us a bit about yourself on the right and we'll reach out with next steps and a seat in the bootcamp that fits your schedule.
Questions people ask before they enroll.
Absolutely. Even with solid strategy and analysis, trades can move against you. The key is to invest less and lose less — and that comes down to discipline, not just strategy.
Our rule: start with $500 or $1,000, and no more. Trade small until you've turned a profit. If a trade goes wrong at this size, you've only risked what you could afford to lose.
Here's where most new traders go wrong: they turn $500 into $1,000, get greedy, and jump straight to risking $10,000 to chase $20,000. Don't do that — a loss at that size hurts far more than a loss at $500 ever would.
Once you've turned $500 into $1,000, you have two disciplined paths forward:
Both keep your risk anchored to what you started with. What you should never do is scale your position size up 10x just because your last trade won.
Yes — and no. There's an enormous amount of free content out there, and some of it is genuinely good. But it's scattered. You'll find ten videos explaining the same strategy ten different ways, with no way to know which one actually fits your capital, your risk tolerance, or the market condition you're trading in right now. The problem was never a lack of information — it's the lack of a clear path through all of it.
That's the gap this bootcamp closes. Every session builds on the one before it — fundamentals first, then the strategies that put them to work, then live trades to prove it out. And some of what we teach — the specific setups and risk-adjusted variations we walk through live — simply aren't laid out this way anywhere on YouTube or any other free channel.
Free information gets you started. Structure and mentorship are what turn it into an actual, repeatable skill — and that's what you're really signing up for.
Here's the theory: if you can consistently double your capital, it only takes 10 doublings to turn $1,000 into over $1 million. We're not promising you'll do it in 10 days or even 10 months — it takes patience and discipline to string those doublings together. Here's what the 10 steps look like:
| Doubling # | Capital Before | Capital After |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| 2 | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| 3 | $4,000 | $8,000 |
| 4 | $8,000 | $16,000 |
| 5 | $16,000 | $32,000 |
| 6 | $32,000 | $64,000 |
| 7 | $64,000 | $128,000 |
| 8 | $128,000 | $256,000 |
| 9 | $256,000 | $512,000 |
| 10 | $512,000 | $1,024,000 |
One "doubling" doesn't have to be a single trade — it's usually a handful of wins added together. If you're targeting 20% profit per trade, it takes about 5 trades to add up to 100% and double that step's capital. Aim smaller, say 10% per trade, and it might take closer to 10 trades to get the same doubling. Either way, the goal is the same 10 doublings — just spread across as many trades as it takes to get there safely.
The person behind Trading Academy.
"I learned options trading the hard way. My goal is to help you learn it the right way."
BackgroundI'm an Engineering Manager by profession, and a teacher by passion. Outside of work, I coach an FLL (FIRST LEGO League) robotics team for kids — mentoring is where I've always felt most useful, and this program is an extension of that.
Why Trading AcademyIn a world where AI is reshaping the job market, I believe building a skill like this — one that doesn't depend on any single employer — is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your own financial independence.
That question — what would I do if I lost my job tomorrow, or once I retire — is what shaped this program. It led me to three concrete goals for any money I put into options trading:
- Long-Term Growth — a portfolio that compounds at 10–20% a year. On $6,000, even a 15% year adds roughly $900 back into the pot to keep compounding.
- Monthly Income — a steady paycheck from premium-generating strategies. On $3,000, that might mean $150–$300 landing most months.
- Aggressive Growth — a swing for 2x, 3x, even 10x in a strong year. On $1,000, that's my own attempt to reach $1,000,000 — a goal I've missed twice and am still chasing.
Options trading is the one skill flexible enough to work toward all three at once. My own rule of thumb is to split whatever I allocate roughly 60/30/10 across them — so on a $10,000 allocation, that's $6,000 to long-term growth, $3,000 to monthly income, and $1,000 to the aggressive play. I lean toward the higher end of the long-term range (closer to 20% than 10%), since the modest extra risk is worth the extra reward.
You can start with as little as $1,000 allocated to options trading. The 60/30/10 split is entirely up to you — you're free to apply it, or put the whole $1,000 toward the aggressive growth goal instead. Options trading gives you the power to test your strategies with a small investment. Once you understand the basics and the more advanced strategies, you'll be equipped to set your own allocation and risk-to-reward ratios — the exact numbers matter far less than the discipline behind them.
Teaching you the basics and advanced options trading strategies, with patience and discipline, is the goal of this course.
Risk PhilosophyAlongside strategy and fundamentals, every student learns an exit strategy. Not everyone has the patience options trading demands, and that's fine — what matters is knowing your number: a firm limit on how much you're willing to lose before you step away. Running an options account is much like running a small business — the traders who succeed aren't only the ones who know when to enter a trade, but the ones who know when to walk away.
