Wealth Academy · Advanced Options Trading 201
The market doesn’t care which way it moves. Traders who understand options don’t either.
10 years of testing and theory — condensed into 20 weeks
Most people meet options for the first time in a falling market, and learn what they didn’t know the expensive way. The free session below is the ten things Derek wishes he’d known before his first trade. The programme is the twenty weeks that follow — mindset, theory, strategy, and running trading like a business. Education only; nothing here tells you what to buy, sell or hold.
Next intake starts: Tuesday 15 September 2026, 5:00pm AWST
20 live workshops, finishing Tuesday 16 February 2027 — no workshops on 5 January, 12 January or 9 February.

What Makes This Different
Video Lessons, Backed by Live Weekly Workshops
Every class is taught by video recording, so you can watch at a time that fits around your work schedule. Then, each week, we host a live workshop to answer your questions from the sessions and review the principles being taught.
Accountability
The live workshops give you the accountability to keep watching the video lessons in your own time — so you actually finish.
Gaps Filled Fast
Our programme facilitators can fill in any gaps in your understanding far quicker, speeding up your progress.

What You'll Come Away With

Mindset
Understand the differences in how a business owner, trader and employee think — and why it matters to your results.
Discover how the entire mindset of wealth directly correlates to the results a trader gets.
Ensure you are working for a cause greater than yourself to propel you into your life purpose.
Options Theory
Complete and detailed coverage of options theory — what are options, what are the obligations, how do they work, and why are they traded?
Opportunity to paper trade or virtual trade options to test various theories in a simulated environment.
Strategies
Numerous strategies that are directional, time-based and non-directional. 4 Key Strategies that form the basis for other more complex trades.
Thorough teachings of the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy as they play out in various markets.
Opportunity to paper trade and test various strategies in multiple market scenarios in a simulated environment.
Case study various traders' precise strategies and account management guidelines.
Learn how indicators are used, interpreted and applied to strategies by traders, to get a feel for the direction a stock or market may go.
Running Trading Like a Business
Discover how business principles apply to investments, and how traders use these systems to protect themselves against trades that go against them.
How traders prepare for emergencies — the systems they use as back up, in case things go wrong.
The pros and cons of margin — how this is a double-edged sword for a trader and what they MUST be aware of when dealing with a broker's lending.
Practical — Virtual Trading
We want to see you place a few virtual trades by the end of the programme, applying everything you've learned in a simulated environment.
We will never advise you to trade live, as we are not licensed to do so — we offer education only. Please refer to the 'Understanding' section below.
The Strategies
Three Dimensions of Trading
The numerous strategies you'll learn fall into three categories — building from directional trades all the way to non-directional positions.
2nd Dimensional
Directional strategies — picking the right direction of the market.
3rd Dimensional
Time-based strategies where premium is collected over time.
4th Dimensional
Non-directional trades where the trader may get the direction wrong but can still potentially profit from the market movement.
