Courses / Options from zero

Options from zero

Options look hard because of the words around them. Under the words are four shapes and a price made of two parts. This course starts from nothing.

Anyone curious about options who has never traded one.

For learning only. Every example uses made-up prices and made-up companies. Nothing here is a trade idea.
