Hi Jay,
1. Correct; it is only the training.
2. I use Interactive Brokers but both sets of videos have been created using Think or Swim.

Hi - Couple questions to clarify:
1. This is just training and not a "scanner" to be able to scan set ups is that correct?
2. Assuming answer is yes to 1 above, which platform / broker do you use and you have your training videos for? I understand that theoretically training / knowledge / set ups can be implemented on any platform / broker but in practice platform is crucial and could take time to learn / getting used to get the set ups etc.
Thank you,
Jay

Hi Robert,
Yes, strike selection is covered and discussed as trades are established, often using the strike's delta as the guide, e.g for Iron Condors. Although condors are directional neutral spreads, there are also examples of directional strategies. And yes, there are modules on trade adjustments too.
Robert September 30th, 2020 at 6:38pm
Hi Peter, does the training go in-depth on proper strike selection, strategy's to use if a stock has a certain direction, defensive strategy's if a spread goes against you, etc?
Thanks
Peter September 28th, 2020 at 7:25pm
Hi Robert, yes, all the training is on video and I'm also available anytime for any questions you have. Feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to assist.
Peter.

Hi, once I purchase the course is there a person I can contact about questions?
Are all the trainings on video?
Thanks, Robert

I used to think that too; that if something is old, it must be "out of date". But let me tell you, principles never die and option trading has NEVER been more popular than it is right now.
In the US, options trading has been growing year on year and 2020 will certainly be a record year. See the numbers for yourself at The OCC.

Is the content still relevant in today's markets?

It's not! Trading as a Business is the original "how to trade options" video course. It was made before selling courses was "cool" and it remains the classic. All these other courses like the Option Income System, Trading Pro System etc are just remakes of the first Trading as a Business course.
Plus, not only will you receive LIFETIME access to the original version, but you will also receive the Option Boost material too. Another live trading, practical course on making money with options. In this series, Derek has his own take on credit spreads but also unique setups for debit spreads and technical analysis setups that you can create on auto-pilot.
You cannot get this two course package anywhere else! And I am currently offering both courses for a $197 one-time fee. I don't know if I will always provided it at this low price as I think a yearly membership fee is probably better for me, but for now it is a lifetime deal.

I've heard "income generating" strategies before. How is this different?
