Earn a monthly paycheck from options, or trade the moves. Learn both in 8 weeks.
OSF has two desks. The Income Desk is where busy people build monthly paychecks, without watching the screen all day. The Trading Desk is where active traders go after the bigger moves, with rules instead of hunches. One process, the same five decisions on every trade, live for 8 weeks. Even if you’ve never placed an options trade.

Knowing how it works was never the hard part. Doing it with real money is.
Whether you’ve never placed an options trade or you’ve read about them for years, the gap is the same: turning what you know into trades you trust and results you can repeat.
Skill is built with repetitions, real stakes and honest feedback. Live reviews every week, and a community where senior traders or coaches can check any trade you post.
You wouldn’t learn to swim from YouTube and then jump into a river.
Yet people do exactly that with their savings: a few videos, a chatbot answer, then real money. The current doesn’t care what you watched.
Without rules, and without anyone checking your trades, here is what you put at risk:
- Your hard-earned capital. Savings that took years of salary to build can go in a few bad weeks.
- Your time. Months, sometimes years, spent climbing back to where you started instead of moving forward.
- Your peace of mind. The second-guessing at midnight, the screen you can’t stop checking, the conversation at home you don’t want to have.
- Your confidence. One bad run, and many people never try again, so the skill that could have paid them for decades never gets built.
Losses are not symmetric. That is why the first rule is protecting what you have.
In the cohort you start in the shallow end: paper trades first, then small real money from week five, sized so that ten losses in a row don’t end you. Post any trade in our community, and senior traders or coaches can check it. You learn to swim before you swim alone.
“I started negative. After practising on paper with his tools, I’m now at break-even trading with real money.”
“I made a huge loss because of emotions and greed. … Now, I will continue to apply what I have learned from Manoj … so that I can become an independent risk manager.”
Individual experiences. Not typical, and not a guarantee of future results.
The Income Desk and the Trading Desk. Learn both, with one process.
Each part is taught as a recorded module, drilled in a live session, then placed by you on a real market. Post any trade in our community, and senior traders or coaches can check it. Not sure which desk is yours? Most students use both.
Monthly paychecks, built around a busy week
For busy people who want monthly paychecks without watching the screen all day. Calm, with the worst case known before you start, and a way in even with a smaller account.
The bigger moves, traded by rules
For active traders. Our 5D℠ swing and PP33℠ intraday systems find the set-ups; you decide with the same five decisions. Bigger potential moves, and bigger risk.
The Income Desk
Three monthly paychecksCreate your own monthly dividend
The harvest paycheckShares you already hold, including company shares you build each month through your employer’s share plan, can pay you while you keep them. You learn exactly how to collect it, step by step.
Get paid to buy at a discount
The Buffett paycheckName the price you’d happily pay for a great company, and get paid while you wait for it. The same idea Warren Buffett used with Coca-Cola in 1993.
One cycle, two paychecks
The Wheel · Paycheck 1 + 2Get paid while you wait to buy. If you buy, get paid again on what you now own. Then the cycle turns again.
Create the same monthly dividend, without buying the shares first.
Paycheck 1 usually starts with 100 shares of one company, which can tie up thousands of dollars in a single stock. Our L2R℠ method puts a long-term option in place of the shares, so you can collect the same kind of monthly paycheck for a fraction of the capital. We teach you the whole process, step by step: how to choose the long-term option, what to sell against it each month, and how to manage it when the stock moves.
The Trading Desk
Two systems, and options for the big momentsRide the bigger moves
The 5D℠ swing systemA scanner finds swing set-ups that play out over days, with every entry and exit planned before you place the trade. Bigger potential gains, and bigger risk.
Trade actively, with clear set-ups and rules
The PP33℠ intraday systemOptionPundit’s signature intraday system. Short, active trades with clear rules for every entry and exit, so you act on a set-up, not a hunch, wherever in the world you trade from.
Pay a small cost for a big move
Buying calls and putsWhen a big move is likely, a breakout, an earnings report or a panic, you pay a small, known cost for a large possible move. The skill is the timing and the size.
You don’t just learn PP33℠ from a video. You trade it with us, on paper, in two live-market sessions.
Every strategy carries risk, including losing what you put in. You learn the worst case of each one before you place it.
The Income Desk pays you while you wait. The Trading Desk is where you hunt.
Both desks, one enrolment, 8 live weeks.US$1,997, or 3 × US$699. Limited to 20 traders.
Reserve my seatGo from trading on hunches to running your own system. Taught by the coaches other coaches learn from.
Knowing options is not the hard part. Using them the same way on every trade is. So OSF is built on four parts, and you leave with all four.
The same five decisions on every trade, from which market to the most it can cost you. Calm, repeatable, and yours to keep.
Every week: learn it, drill it, apply it on a real market, review it. You score every trade on eight clear checks, so you see exactly what to fix.
Three monthly paychecks, L2R℠ for smaller accounts, and the 5D℠ and PP33℠ systems for the bigger moves. The codes are installed on your screen with you.
A cohort beside you and live sessions every week for 8 weeks. Then 12 months in a community where senior traders or coaches can check any trade you post.
Learn it from someone who still trades by the same rules.
“In 2008 I had a good job at a big company. Then good people around me lost jobs they had done well, and I realised the decisions about my income were being made in rooms I would never be in. I ran a rule-based process alongside the job for two years, and in 2010 I left corporate life to trade full time. I still trade my own money by the same rules. I teach them because nobody should depend on one paycheck.”
OptionPundit was founded in Singapore in 2006 by Manoj Kumar, to teach a rule-based, risk-managed way to trade. More than 10,000 traders in 18+ countries have learned with us.
Nine trading systems, including PP33℠, 5D℠ and Flying Condor℠, built at OptionPundit and taught by your coach. Our market commentary has appeared on Reuters, Google Finance, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Palm Beach Post.
We learn from the best, so you learn from the best.
Other educators learn here too.
“In consistency, risk management and education, there is no service that comes even close to OptionPundit.”
Kim Klaiman, CEO, SteadyOptions, CanadaThere’s a way across. Someone like you has already made it.
Find the card that sounds like you. Each shows where you’d start, and a student who started in the same place, in their own words.
have a full-time job
You have about two hours a week and the evenings are yours. Every session is recorded.
are retired, or close to it
You have one paycheck now, the pension, and want your savings working, with the worst case known first.
have never traded options
You learn from zero, practise on paper, then place small real trades from week five.
own shares that just sit there
Your portfolio, or the company shares you build through your employer’s share plan, waits for prices to rise. It could be paying you while it waits.

You want income that doesn’t depend on the business, on systems that fit around your diary.
have traded, and given it back
You know the strategies. What was missing was rules, and someone checking your work.
“Since finding myself back with OSF, my account from red is turning green for the first time after many years.”
Individual results, self-reported. Not typical, and not a guarantee of future results. Where a student is shown, it is their story, not the paycheck mix they used.
Eight weeks. Watch us, trade with us, then trade on your own.
Each week pairs recorded lessons from the 9-module curriculum with a live session where you drill it and place the trade. Support is removed exactly as fast as your skill grows: never thrown in early, never carried too long.
Foundations and the trader’s mindset
The language of options from zero, and your first real win, engineered on purpose.
Your cockpit: platform and set-up
We set up your trading platform together, screen-shared, so the tool is never the obstacle again.

OptionPundit’s signature intraday system, learned the only way it can be: on a live, moving market.
The 5D℠ swing system: ride the bigger moves
A scanner-driven system for swing moves that play out over days. Bigger potential gains and bigger risk, so every entry, exit and position size is planned before you place the trade.
The harvest paycheck, and graduation
Get paid on the shares you own, then assemble everything into one personal system.
Every trade is five decisions. Skip one and the gains go back.
You met them in the class. In the program you learn the rules behind each one, and drill them live until they are habits.

From week three, you score every trade you close on the OSF Trade Review Rubric: eight dimensions, 0 to 2 each. It turns “I think that was a good trade” into a score you can improve, trade after trade.
See the eight things every trade is scored on
Every trade lands in one of four boxes, and each box tells you exactly what to do next:
Earned win
Your system produced this. Do exactly the same again.
Good loss
Right decision, normal market noise. Change nothing, stay the course.
Lucky win
The market bailed you out. Fix the habit before it costs you.
Lesson
The fastest learning lives here. We fix it together.
Built for people who want their money working, not just sitting.
You’ll thrive in OSF if
- You’re new to options, or you’ve tried to learn them and have the vocabulary, but not yet the confidence or the consistency.
- You can commit about two focused hours a week, plus practice, for eight weeks.
- You have risk capital set aside and want it working intelligently.
- You want a system you own and a second income you control, not calls to copy.
- You’re a professional, business owner, retiree or student building a skill for life.
It’s not the right room if
- You want signals to copy without learning why.
- You won’t do the weekly work. This is a cohort with a finish line.
- You’d be trading money you need for daily life.
Closed trades posted by students in our private group. Individual results. Not every trade wins, and losses happen too.

In their own words.
“4.8 times my PPI training fees”
“Since I joined a month ago, I have already made back my course fee.”
“My win rate is about 70%+ and I have made back almost 4~5x my basic course fee in 4 months.”
“10 days after the course, I am already in profit of over $2k of real money.”

Why pay for this when ChatGPT can teach me options for free?
AI teaches you about options. OSF makes you a trader. A chatbot can’t make you do the reps, can’t put real stakes on the table and can’t score the actual trade you placed. OSF does all three, and leaves you with a system that makes every AI tool you use more valuable.
I’ve never traded before. Is this too advanced?
No. Weeks one and two take you from zero: the language, the platform and your first read of a live option chain. If you want an even gentler start, the Options Foundation Program™ is US$199 and credited in full if you join OSF within 60 days.
I already trade. Will this be too basic?
No. The foundations move fast, and the depth is in the three paychecks, L2R℠, the PP33℠ and 5D℠ systems and the system you build. Many of our strongest graduates arrived already trading. What they were missing was structure.
Isn’t this just gambling?
No. Two of the paychecks are built on shares you’d be glad to own, and the Wheel joins them into one cycle. Every trade has its worst case decided before you enter: the dinner rule, the most it can cost you, small enough that ten losses in a row don’t end you.
How much time do I need?
About two hours a week, plus your own practice: one short recorded module and a 90-minute live session every Saturday, 10:00 to 11:30 am Singapore time. Two Tuesday-night sessions run live at the US market open. Every session is recorded, so a busy week never sets you back.
How much capital do I need to start?
Most of the first weeks are paper trading. From week five you trade real money, sized to a strict risk rule you’ll learn in the program, so you can start small and grow as your skill does.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes: 3 monthly payments of US$699.
I’m not in the US. Does this work for me?
Yes. Traders join from 18+ countries. The program focuses on the US options market, live-market sessions run in US hours and everything is recorded for every time zone.
What happens after the eight weeks?
You keep 12 months’ access to the curriculum, recordings and community. Graduates who want an expert beside them can apply for The OptionPundit Inner Circle™, our one-to-one mentoring program.
Am I too old for this? Is the tech hard?
No. Many of our students are retired or close to it, like Lui CS, who found his consistency with us. In week 2 we set up your trading platform with you, screen-shared, so the tech is never the obstacle.
I’ve bought courses before. Why is this different?
A course hands you information. Here you place trades, score each one, and can have any of them checked in our community, until the rules are habits. In Pradnya’s words: “Having attended two or three other courses, I was completely confused. OSF has exceeded all my expectations.”
Can I talk to someone before I enrol?
Of course. Book a 15-minute call and we’ll help you choose the right starting point.
Two versions of next year.
Twelve more months of one paycheck.
The shares you own sitting still. More videos, more threads, more chatbot answers you understand and still don’t act on. You’ll know more about options, and trade them no better.
Eight weeks to your own system.
You drill, you trade live, you score every trade, and you graduate running a documented system for the paychecks that fit your money and your week.
Information has never been cheaper. The skill to profit from it has never been more valuable. Eight weeks decides which one you walk away with.
