Welcome to Options Trading Mastery

Options Trading Mastery is the best place to help you to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the art of option trading. My name is Owen and I've been trading options since 2002. Whether you're interested in the stock market, commodity futures or foreign currencies as your underlying market, options trading is not only one of the most interesting ways to trade, but also the most flexible and financially rewarding.

So let's begin our journey of discovery together . . . .

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step" - Ancient Chinese Proverb.

The Stock Market is one of the largest markets in the world, so it is going to be around for a long time. This means that if we can master a few strategies that bring consistent profits, it is not inconceivable that we could set ourselves up with a reliable income stream. The fact is, one of the most profitable skills we can ever master, is the skill of options trading.

There are many option trading strategies "out there" such as strangles, straddles, bullish call debit spreads, bearish put debit spreads, ratio spreads, butterflies, condors, collars, calendar spreads, covered calls, iron condors, victory spreads and credit spreads. Many of these have their own variations, so understanding how to set them up and adjust when necessary, is knowledge of real value.

If you don't know what these are, or simply wish to deepen your understanding, then enjoy the ride as you navigate through this site to empower yourself with self education.

You are also welcome to provide your own comments on anything you may read, either by using the Facebook comment area, or the regular comment box, where your contribution, if helpful, will be added to this site for the benefit of other readers. Bringing your experience to the table could make a difference to someone.

"Normal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune" - Jim Rohn.

We will coach you every step of the way as you seek to increase your knowledge of the options markets. You will also have the chance to contribute your own thoughts and experiences, even ask questions or provide reviews of services you have used, for the benefit of other visitors. We could even think of it as a little community of traders helping each other toward financial freedom.

So let's get started!
