Why this program exists
Most option buyers don't lose because they pick the wrong direction. They lose to theta — the time decay built into every option — to oversized positions, and to trading on tips instead of rules.
The free eBook gives you the framework. This mentorship makes sure you can actually execute it: on real charts, with your own capital rules, with your own logic and decisions reviewed against the rules with you — until rule-based trading becomes the way you think, not a thing you read once.
Is this you?
What you'll learn · the curriculum
Each module gives you a decision to make and a clear rule for making it — and together they're the engine behind all 20+ strategies.
What options are, calls vs puts, premium, and the option chain decoded — strikes, LTP, OI, volume, IV. Why rule-based option buying is the opposite of gambling.
Time decay as a melting ice cube. Why a correct-but-slow move still loses money — and how to enter only when the move is strong enough to outrun decay, and exit the moment strength fades.
SuperTrend for direction, RSI for momentum strength, Pivot Points for structure, Bollinger Bands for a statistically rare entry trigger. Four independent questions — not one signal repeated four times.
The precise Call checklist and Put checklist — all four conditions TRUE or you stay out — plus the SuperTrend trailing exit. Why the 3-minute chart is the sweet spot for intraday entries.
Price action, market structure, and the candle patterns that actually matter — so you can read any instrument on any timeframe with confidence instead of guessing.
The 1–2% per-trade rule and why it's what keeps a small account alive through an inevitable losing streak. A position-sizing approach you can apply to your own capital.
Turn a discretionary approach into clear if-then rules, then automate the execution — no coding — so emotion stays out of your trades. Why a system running on ~75 candle closes a day needs automation to be sustainable.
Use AI to review strategy performance, spot redundant signals, optimise allocation, and tighten risk. Plus how theta behaves on expiry day, and how to structure trades that use it in your favour.
What sets this apart
You don't just learn the method — you receive all 20+ of our strategies, explained directly to you:
All strategies are taught for educational purposes only and are not buy/sell recommendations or assured-return systems.
How the program works
You apply each rule and strategy to real charts and worked examples with direct feedback, from foundations through to a running system.
A structured schedule that takes you from foundations to a running, automated system.
Real-time sessions with direct feedback — you apply each rule and strategy as you learn it.
Clear, plain-language teaching in English from start to finish — no jargon for its own sake.
Entry is deliberately limited so every mentee gets full attention and dedicated support.
A direct line for your questions throughout — you're never stuck waiting between sessions.
Lifetime access to your own session recordings — revisit any session, any time.
What's included

Skills and understanding — not income promises. No strategy, system, or indicator can guarantee profits.
