The Chicago School of Trading LLC is dedicated to teaching our students how to be successful options traders in the Chicago Tradition. For generations, veteran traders have mentored new traders on a personal basis in the trading pits of Chicago’s exchanges. Now that same one-on-one mentoring from successful veteran traders is available to you!
Some of our students have taken our program and became full-time traders, some have been professional futures traders who wanted to learn how to use options to expand their trading potential, and some have taken the program to augment their stock trading. (Read some of their stories here) Whether you plan to become a full-time or part-time trader, or whether you trade stocks, futures, ETFs, or Forex, it is essential that you have a thorough understanding of options and how they are traded. Options offer an almost limitless world of strategies for an informed and educated trader to increase their leverage and define their risk. In that world of options trading the professional has the advantage over the amateur, and the educated has the advantage over the uninformed. The Chicago School of Trading, owned and operated by The Chicago School of Trading LLC, can help you gain the advantage
You will be mentored by one of our professional options traders, all with over twenty years of experience. Before your mentoring sessions begin, you will be given an extensive course in the fundamentals of options presented in an extensive text with accompanying video written by our own staff. Your mentoring sessions will involve trading on a real-time simulated trading platform while your personal mentor evaluates your trading skills and strategy. Don’t go it alone – Let us help you the way our mentors helped us when we started our trading careers.
