To a beginner the world of options can be very complicated with a lot of moving parts. There are numerous terms to become aware of and if you focus too much on trying to learn exactly what every term means then your head might spin and you might end up walking away from options trading all together. That’s why we tried to simplify things in our course compared to what you’ll find in other options trading courses.

It’s important to focus on the big picture and the overall concept with options, rather than focusing too hard on what every single term means. Each term is a piece that completes the overall puzzle but it’s more important to see how the big picture comes together when trading options, this is key with being successful with trading options!

The puzzle pieces will come together the more that you focus on the overall concept with options and get through learning all the terminology.
