An options trading mentor who shows you the losses first.
Every mentor you are comparing right now opens with wins. I open with a verified -$478,449, reconstructed from my own brokerage records and posted publicly. Then I teach the rules that were built from it. That order is the whole point.
Why most options mentorship fails
The standard model is a highlight reel: screenshots of green days, a Lamborghini thumbnail, and a curriculum that quietly assumes you will never have a red month. When the red month comes, and it comes for everyone, the program has nothing to say. The searchers who type "options trading mentor" into Google have usually already been burned once by exactly this.
I ran an options account to a +$399,867 high-water mark on August 25, 2025. Then I gave it all back and more, including a -$412,031 single day. The full sequence lives in the Pivec File with the receipts. What survived is a short list of rules about sizing, exits, and revenge trading that would have saved the account. That list is what I mentor from.
What mentorship looks like here
- The rules come first. You start from the same 1-page rule sheet I trade by now. It is free, no card required.
- Your journal, reviewed against the rules. Mentorship is not predictions. It is someone with documented scar tissue reading your trades and pointing at the exact rule you broke.
- Everything in public. My own trades post to the community as I take them, wins and losses, so you can check whether the mentor follows his own rules.
- A community on the same climb. Members rate the Academy 5.0 across 23 public reviews on the store page. Individual experiences vary; no outcome is typical or promised.
Who this is for, and who it is not for
| For you if | Not for you if |
|---|---|
| You have traded long enough to know discipline is your real problem | You want picks, signals, or "just tell me what to buy" |
| You want rules you can verify against a documented blowup | You want a guru who has never had a losing streak |
| You can start small: the free tier and the $27 challenge exist for a reason | You expect any promise about income or results |
Start where it costs nothing
Mentorship should be earned in both directions. Start free, see how I teach, then decide.
