Options trading course in Tamil & English

Learn options trading the rule-based way

The Simple Trade teaches Indian retail traders how options work and how to trade them with written rules instead of tips — in Tamil and in English, from your first chart to automated, no-code strategies. Education only: no buy/sell calls, no promised returns.

Option buying for intraday

When to buy a call, when to buy a put and when to stay out on Nifty, Bank Nifty and Sensex options. Our five-step framework checks trend (SuperTrend), momentum (RSI), structure (pivot points) and the entry trigger (Bollinger Bands) — a trade is taken only when all four agree.

Option selling, and its real risk

How option sellers collect premium, why the margin is large and why an unhedged short option can lose far more than it earns. We explain how hedging limits that risk and how sellers size their trades.

Indicators and chart reading

Candlestick patterns, chart patterns, SuperTrend, RSI, Bollinger Bands, pivot points and the option chain — explained in plain language, with what each one can and cannot tell you.

Risk management and trading psychology

Position sizing, stop-losses, a daily loss limit and a trading journal: the habits that decide whether a trader survives long enough to learn.

No-code algo trading

Turn written rules into automated strategies on Quantman without writing code, and backtest them before any real money is at risk.

Expiry day, indices and commodities

How weekly expiry works and why premiums melt on expiry day, how Nifty and Bank Nifty options differ, and the basics of MCX crude oil and natural gas options.

Who it is for

  • Beginners who want to understand options before risking money.
  • Traders who keep losing to overtrading, tips or having no plan.
  • Working professionals who want rules they can follow — or automate.

Options trading carries a high risk of loss: SEBI’s study of FY22–FY24 found that about 9 in 10 individual F&O traders lost money. Learn the rules first, trade small, and never trade money you cannot afford to lose. The Simple Trade is an education provider, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst.
