I’ve made $10,000,000+ from trading options.

Most people have no idea how to start and scale their capital.

If I had to start all over with under $1000...

Here’s the ONLY guide I’d follow (anyone can do this):

1) What even is an option?

First let’s understand.

An option is just a contract that lets you bet on whether a stock will go up (call) or down (put).

You don’t own the stock, you’re renting it.

And the best part…

You can make money whether the market’s up, down, or sideways.

2) My go-to analogy

Trading options is like putting a down payment on a girl way out of your league.

If she blows up on IG, you’re in early.

If not? You walk away.

All you lost was the price of dinner.

That’s options.

Less commitment. More upside.

3) The 3 things I check before every trade

Every option has:

• Strike price (target)
• Expiration date (deadline)
• Premium (what I pay)

If you don’t understand those 3, you’re not ready to trade.

4) One thing beginners screw up

If you’re just starting, avoid weekly options.

They’re the riskiest plays with the fastest time decay.

I always tell new traders to stick with monthly or longer-dated contracts.

More time = more room to be right.

5) The only tools you need

I started on TD ameritrade web browser:

- Clean

- Simple
- Beginner-friendly.
But when I got serious, I switched to ThinkorSwim and E-Trade Pro.

Start light. Upgrade later. Avoid overload.

6) A trade I’ll never forget

I bought QQQ 425 calls when it bounced off the 2021 highs at $408.

That same week it ran to 440. The calls hit $30+.

Why? I waited for the right level.

Patience is the edge most traders don’t have.

7) My risk rule

Starting out, I never risked more than 5% per trade.

If I had $5k, I only risked $250 max.

After months of wins, I’d take bigger shots… but always with a plan.

No plan = no trade.

8) My final advice

Pick one strategy
Master it
Find a mentor

I wasted years trying to figure it out on my own.

But it doesn’t have to be like that for you.

Here’s why:

I built Elite Options Pro to give you everything I wish I had when I started.
