Weekly options, explained properly.
Most explanations of weekly options either assume you already know what a derivative is, or they skip the mechanics and go straight to a results screenshot. This one starts at the beginning: what you are actually buying, why the Friday matters, and what happens to the price of a contract as the week runs out.

- What an options contract really is, explained without a single term left undefined.
- Why weekly contracts expire on the Fridays they do, and why one Friday a month has none at all.
- What you are paying for in a premium, and why the weekly one costs less than the monthly one.
- What time decay does between Monday and Friday, which is the part that catches most people out.
- The five mistakes we see most often, including the one that has nothing to do with picking the right stock.
Who is behind it
Weekly Options USA is a research desk run by Ian Harvey. It is a publisher, not a broker and not an adviser, which means it does not touch your money, does not hold your account, and does not tailor anything to you. What it does is publish its own research and then publish what happened to it, every closed position, wins and losses alike.
You do not have to take that on trust. The full record is public, and it is the same record members see.
After the guide, if you want to see the desk work
The 14-Day Research Desk Pass opens the working desk for two weeks: new alerts, the closing result on each one, Ian's research notes as he publishes them, and the archive of his original write-ups behind the public record.$19 for the fourteen days as a one-time introductory offer, then $100 for month one and $119 a month after that, unless you cancel before day fourteen and nothing further is charged.
