Course Description

Having a good foundation is important when investing.  This course will teach you how to trade in the options markets and how to research, analyze, and understand the reasons why trend directions occurred.

If you know your exit points (when to get out of a trade) both positive and negative, then you are better equipped to become a successful trader.

One of the biggest mistakes of novice traders is over trading.  Just because you have a feeling does not mean you should trade it.
