Options Trading Made Simple: How to Buy Calls & Puts and Achieve Financial Freedom in Only 5 Years (Passive Stock Options Trading)

If you want to understand options and learn how to trade options successfully, this is the best book I have ever found. It is easy to understand without complicated confusing jargon often used in the industry. Trader Travis uses examples that help make concepts clear. Then teaches strategies to help you become a successful options trader. There are no frills in this book. It is very straightforward. Which is the best part about the book; it’s simplicity. There are no unnecessary, over complicated explanations like you may find in many other books that claim to teach you options trading. If you have ever attempted to understand options before, and then read this book, you will understand the difference. The same applies to paying for options trading courses that claim they will teach you how to trade options, yet make things seem so complex, it becomes frustrating, confusing, and seemingly impossible. They then upsell you with the promise the additional courses are necessary to increase your understanding and improve your outcomes. I will add to this category the proprietary subscription based services that “teach you how to trade options.” I have paid and joined many, many programs/services like this and spent thousands upon thousands of dollars with hope that ended in being false hope. More accurately, LIES. I am not a skeptical person by nature, but these experiences have jaded me to the point where I am immediately leery and very skeptical of “trading gurus and their claims.” However, Trader Travis, his books, and the resources he provides have been a complete game changer for me. Yes, I have learned and now make money, despite losses along with wins, even in a bear market, but equally as important, I operate with a plan.I was first introduced to Trader Travis through his YouTube channel and watching his videos for years due to my skeptical nature regarding this subject. But, his explanations of options made sense. He was transparent and straightforward about wins and losses, pros and. cons, advantages and disadvantages of options trading. Upon further research I found his first book that was published in 2015. It set the foundation for understanding options and made concepts crystal clear. This book goes several steps deeper because he provides not only the foundation to understand options, thoroughly, but also strategies to implement to become a successful, profitable, options trader.I’ve mentioned the simplicity of this book and the options concepts and strategies that are taught. Don’t misunderstand simplicity to mean easy. It is not. It is also not complex. Following his strategies you learn many things. Simple is paramount. Discipline is key. Having a plan is golden. Practice is imperative. Implementing worthwhile. Follow through profitable. But, you have to put in the work. However, the tools and resources are laid out, in plain English through this book, to help anyone who wants to become a successful, profitable options trader.The last thing I will say is, if you are a skeptic like I was, I encourage you to read, then test it out for yourself. I mean actually do it. Put in the work and see it for yourself. Every chapter is worth it’s weight in gold. But if you are a skeptic like I was, particularly reread chapter 5, how to tell if a guru is full of crap, then do what it says. LOL! I laugh because, if I had found this resource when I first began learning to trade options, I would’ve saved myself a great deal of headache, heartache, and a great deal of money.

Travis is a man who was fortunate enough to be mentored by a millionaire. He found his rhythm trading options, but most importantly, he followed directions and became wildly successful.I am not sure what motivates him to pay the things he learnt forward, but I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed. For me, this is the first time in years where a trading plan is presented with rules that I can follow to win in the world of trading options. I HAVE paid tens of thousands of dollars and lost tens of thousands of dollars…. And if it was not that I met Travis last year, and implemented the Put Ladder Strategy, I would have had very little capital left over to start again in the roller-coaster bear market that was never ending in 2022. The stock insurance was a life saver for me! Thank you, Travis!For anyone out there still questioning if you should buy the book, here is what I know; Travis is one of very few trainers who clearly understand adult learners; AND you WILL get far greater value than the $12 odd $$ you are paying for the book. AND you will learn to fish in the world of trading options. If you want to learn a step-by-step process, be patient, follow the rules, you will be able to grow your retirement account; or maybe you are looking at securing a monthly income; or maybe paying for a vacation for your family. Yes, no results are guaranteed. Yet, what I have found, with the clear instructions in the book, the videos series and a set of rules, the title of Travis’s book says it all - Options Trading Made Simple! you will learn to trade within a short period of time. Travis is truly giving everything for you to succeed, to change your financially outcome and that of your family. What are you waiting for?

Travis provides an easy-to-understand tutorial on options and how they can be used to build wealth without being glued to your computer. It is not a "get rich quick" technique, rather a planned approach that is relatively safe, as he places a priority on controlling risk.

I purchased the paperback in December 2022, and read it within a couple days. Although it is 200+ pages, it does not feel like it, as the book is an easy and fast read that helps you dive into learning options and easily navigate through simple options trading strategies. The value of this book is much greater than the $10 spent on it, as there are real strategies included that show you how to make money and save money (risk mitigation) by using options. Also included in the book is a direct link to free video content that takes the reader a bit further into the world of learning options. Over the past two years, I have followed Travis's training content via his 2015 ebook (prior to this paperback), free online videos including his YouTube channel and personal website, MarketClub training, Put Ladder training, and Options Wealth Academy. Travis has a talent for teaching profitable options trading strategies in a way that I easily understand, and how to apply them to get real results. Thank you Travis for continuing to add value to the options trading community, this book is a must have for current options traders (the strategies taught within are pure gold), and also those looking to get started on the journey.

I've purchased both of Travis' first two books in the form of Audible and also Kindle and I have to say that I have learned alot from him just through his books. I think they provide a real value and will definitely change my life as long as I stick to the guidelines and of his teachings. Travis is a sharp smart fella and also truly truly a very patient individual as you can tell by reading his books. He has walked the walk and my only regret is not getting his books sooner, however thanks to my eldest brother, who introduced me to options about 6 months ago, I've furthered my studies into it and thankfully ran across Travis's books. Thanks for being an honest guru...you're a gem and a needle in a haystack.
