Curriculum from an autopsy

An options trading course built from a verified $478,449 loss.

Most courses teach you how options work. Mine assumes you can learn mechanics anywhere for free, and teaches the thing that actually decides survival: the rules. Every lesson traces to a documented mistake in my own brokerage records, posted publicly in the Pivec File.

An honest map of your options (including the free ones)

If you are a complete beginner, free mechanics education exists from major platforms and exchanges, and it is genuinely good. Use it. What none of it covers is what a real blowup looks like from the inside: how a +$399,867 peak on August 25, 2025 became a -$478,449 hole, one broken rule at a time, including a -$412,031 single day. That autopsy is this course. It is the layer you bolt onto any mechanics education, and the reason this page exists.

The 9-day structure

One lesson and one concrete action per day, about 30 minutes each. Built around the free 1-page rule sheet.

Days 1-2The loss, replayed: what the receipts show, and the exact rules that were missing.

Days 3-4Position sizing that survives being wrong, sized to your real account, not a fantasy one.

Days 5-6Exits and stop discipline: deciding the leave-point before entry, in writing.

Days 7-8The revenge-trading pattern: recognizing the tilt spiral that does the real damage.

Day 9Your own rule sheet, journaled and testable, plus how the public trade log keeps you honest.

Next cohort starts July 13. Founding members use code FOUNDING29 where offered.

Before you buy: the questions that matter

Is this options trading course for complete beginners?

It works best if you know what a call and a put are. If you are brand new, learn free mechanics first anywhere you like, then come here for the layer nobody teaches: the rules that keep an account alive. The Climb free tier is the right starting door.

What exactly do I get for $27?

The 9-day challenge: one lesson and one concrete action per day, built around the 1-page rule sheet, covering sizing, exits, journaling, and the revenge-trading pattern that actually destroys accounts. The next cohort starts July 13.

Do I need a big account to take this course?

No. The rules scale down. A small cash account is honestly the safest classroom, and the course treats it that way instead of pretending everyone has six figures.

Is there a free version?

Yes, two things: the 1-page rule sheet PDF is free with no card, and The Climb is a free community tier where the public trade log posts. Start there and upgrade only if it earns it.
