Optionetics ® review from an experienced option trader.
Optionetics ® like others I'm aware of are pitched initially at the novice and as such have a useful and informative overview of how one can make money, however their focus is less on the mechanics of options; what they are, why the exist, how they work etc; and prefer to focus on a very specific trading methodology with tight rules. The disciplined trader can certainly reasonably expect to achieve 60-80% successful trades if they follow the method exactly; no room for interpretation. The approach tends also to a higher active role than some others, i.e. assuming that traders are awake during trading hours, and/or that they have alert systems like cell phone messages etc. One of the others that caters to entry level options trading tends to labour the mechanics of options and heavily on chart analysis, but is similar to Optionetics ® in that a strictly defined trading methodology is employed, which if adhered to exactly, will certainly achieve results. Where the challenge lies is that IMO the vast majority of entry level options traders will struggle with the discipline part initially and losses can easily result, with disappointment soon after, not to mention potential for financial losses. Discipline also assumes the options trader actually does understand the method precisely, and executes by the book.
Optionetics ® like others progresses to more advanced techniques as their disciples become more experienced. I applaud these efforts to demystify options trading, however I would guess that the 'conversion rate' from trainees to successful traders/writers is very small, and one could be forgiven for assuming there's a good living to be made teaching; or they wouldn't bother. Anyone remotely interested in trading using leverage, and has an analytical streak should treat themselves to a course. Who knows, they might be one of the few who progress (% wise) to great achievements.
