Information is free now. The skill to profit from it is not.
Any chatbot can explain a bull put spread. Very few people can place one with confidence, size it correctly and manage it to a profit. Options Success Formula is the 8-week live cohort that closes that gap, turning what you half-know into a rule-based income system you run on your own.
You don’t have an information problem. You have a conversion problem.
You’ve done the reading. What you haven’t had is a way to turn it into trades you trust and results you can repeat.
More content was never going to fix this. Skill is built with repetitions, real stakes and expert feedback on the trades you actually place. That is exactly what this cohort is built to give you.
“Why pay for this when AI can teach me options for free?”
Good question. The answer is why this program matters more in 2026, not less.
For twenty years the bottleneck to learning options was access to good information. That bottleneck is gone. A chatbot will explain the Greeks beautifully in seconds. Then you open your brokerage and still don’t place the trade, or you place it with the wrong size, the wrong strikes and no exit plan. The AI never knows, because it never saw your screen, your account or your nerves at 9:42 pm.
The world’s best library.
- It explains a strategy a thousand times. It never makes you place forty of them.
- It grades the textbook answer, not the trade you actually made.
- It is agreeable. Ask it to bless a bad trade and it often will.
- It averages the internet, and the internet’s view of options is mostly retail noise.
- No deadline, no cohort, no coach, and no memory of what you did yesterday.
A system, and the skill to run it.
- You do the reps, drilled weekly in a live session.
- You place real trades by week five, small and correctly sized.
- Every trade is scored on eight dimensions by an expert who has done this for 20 years.
- You learn proprietary models like PP33℠ and 5D℠ that no AI has ever seen.
- A cohort of serious traders moving with you, from start date to graduation.
AI is a phenomenal trading tool, for someone who already has a system. For a trader with rules it is a research assistant that works at 3 am. Without rules, it amplifies expensive mistakes with total confidence.
So we don’t compete with AI. OSF builds the trader who can direct it: you leave with a system that tells a good answer from a dangerous one, and every AI tool you use becomes more valuable.
A course hands you a method. This program builds the trader.
Most options courses are a folder of videos you never finish. OSF is built around one idea: the structure is the product. Three layers make sure you finish, and finish able.
A defined journey
One start date, one finish line, and every week with a specific job to do. Finishing means something.
A weekly loop
One short recorded module, then a live session that drills it, applies it to a real market and reviews what you did.
Always a next step
Every session recorded, a private community for questions between sessions, and 12 months’ access to everything.
Every live session runs the same four-beat loop, the engine of the program:
Learn
The week’s hardest ideas, made clear on live charts.
Drill
High-repetition practice of one skill until it is automatic.
Apply
You place the real trade that week, while it is fresh.
Review
Your decision is scored, so the next trade is better.
Eight weeks. Watch us, trade with us, then trade on your own.
Support is removed exactly as fast as your skill grows. You are never thrown in early, and never carried too long.
Foundations and the trader’s mindset
The language of options, and your first real win, engineered on purpose.
Your cockpit: platform and set-up
We build your trading platform together, screen-shared, so the tool is never the obstacle again.
Greeks, chart reading and first live tradesLIVE MARKET
The US market is open. You place your first trades while Manoj narrates every decision.
Selling puts for income, and to buy great stocks at a discount
Your first premium-selling strategy: get paid to wait for the price you want.
The income workhorse, and your first real-money trade
Defined risk, real premium, real emotion. This is where confidence is built.
The PP33℠ intraday systemLIVE MARKET
OptionPundit’s signature intraday system, learned the only way it can be: on a live, moving market.
The 5D℠ swing and momentum system
A scanner-driven swing system with planned entries. You set up the scanner and run it yourself.
Income on your holdings, and graduation
Turn the shares you own into a monthly paycheck, then assemble everything into one personal system.
Six things that turn knowledge into consistent trading.
Reps, not reading
You get good at a bull put spread by placing forty of them in a structured drill with an expert watching. OSF is built around doing, not watching.
Feedback on your real trades
Every trade you place is scored on setup, entry, sizing, plan, management and exit. You see exactly what to repeat and what to fix, trade after trade.
Real money, early and small
Paper trading teaches mechanics. Real trades teach nerve. By week five you trade live, small enough to be comfortable, real enough to count.
An early win, by design
In week one you do something real and get it right. That “I can do this” moment is the biggest predictor of who succeeds, so we build it in.
A cohort and a finish line
A fixed start date, a group of serious traders and a graduation day. It is the reason our students finish, and finish strong.
A system you own
You graduate with your written Trading Plan: your strategies, entry checklists, risk rules and weekly routine. The system is the deliverable.
Get the decisions right, and the results follow.
From week three, every trade you close is scored on the OSF Trade Review Rubric: eight dimensions, 0 to 2 each. It is how professional desks build consistent traders, and it is the fastest way we know to turn good trades into a habit.
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.
A professional toolkit you won’t find anywhere else.
A chatbot gives you the internet’s average view of options. OSF gives you proprietary models refined over 20 years of real trading. None of it is on YouTube, Reddit or in any AI’s training data.
The PP33℠ intraday system
OptionPundit’s signature intraday method, with the indicator pre-built for ThinkorSwim and TradingView.
The 5D℠ swing system and scanners
Bullish and bearish scanners, set up with you and ready to run every day.
Study codes, chart grids and scripts
The OptionPundit work-desk layout and custom TradingView scripts, installed on your screen.
Trade Journal and Review Rubric
The workbook that scores every trade and tracks your progress automatically.
The full recorded curriculum
All eight modules and the 12-strategy library, with checklists and quick-reference guides, for 12 months.
Your personal Trading Plan
Your strategies, entry checklists, risk rules and weekly routine in one document.
Built for people who take their money as seriously as their careers.
You’ll thrive in OSF if
- You’ve already tried to learn this 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 tips 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.
Who joins OSF:
A strong career and the clear view that one income stream isn’t a plan. They want an asset that isn’t their job.
Already thinks in risk and systems, and wants another income stream they fully control.
Has traded for years on instinct. Joins to turn instinct into a written, repeatable edge.
Learn the method from the trader who built it.
Manoj spent years trading his time for a salary while inflation quietly ate his savings, until he built a rule-based, risk-managed way to trade the way professional desks do. In 2006 he founded OptionPundit to teach it. Twenty years later, more than 10,000 traders in 18+ countries have learned from him.
He is a registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), a professional credential very few options educators hold, and the creator of nine trading systems including PP33℠, 5D℠ and Flying Condor℠. His market commentary has appeared on Reuters, Google Finance, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Palm Beach Post.
When you learn from Manoj, you learn from someone with a name, a 20-year track record and a professional reputation built on his students’ success.
From guessing to trading with a system.
Hear it from our students: professionals, business owners and retirees who came in unsure and left running a process of their own. Some now sit across the table from Manoj as Option Market Wizards.
“Since finding myself back with OSF, my account from red is turning green for the first time after many years.”
“I started negative. After practising on paper with his tools, I’m now at break-even trading with real money.”
“Having attended two or three other courses, I was completely confused. OSF has exceeded all my expectations.”
Individual experiences. Not typical, and not a guarantee of future results.

Straight answers.
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 put-selling and spread units, the PP33℠ and 5D℠ systems and the plan you build. Many of our strongest graduates arrived already trading. What they were missing was structure.
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 Thursday-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. Singapore residents can also use UOB 12-month interest-free instalments.
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 Inner Circle, our one-to-one mentoring program.
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 input.
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 get expert feedback on every trade, and you graduate running a written system that works for you, in any market.
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.
