Weekly Options Practice Lab

Practice the whole trade on paper first

Twelve lessons take you from one weekly options trade on paper to the habits behind every plan: the process from the idea to the review, weekly options in depth, and ten closed trades from Ian's public record, finishing with a final practical exercise of your own.

What the Lab includes

• Twelve lessons in three parts, each with an audio guide, an exercise, a quick quiz and a spot-the-mistake.
• Videos that follow real closed trades from Ian's public record, with the losses beside the wins.
• A planning and review worksheet for every practice trade, saved to your account and ready to print.
• A practice set of past trades to plan before you see how they finished, and a different past trade picked each Monday.
• A numbered certificate with a public check page, for LinkedIn or a CV, once every lesson and ten practice trades are done.
• Trade replay: run your own plan against an option's recorded bid and ask prices, and see it beside the published potential result.

Who it's for

For traders who understand the basics of options trading and want to practice the process before trading with real money. It also suits anyone who wants a repeatable way to plan a trade and review how it went.

The Practice Lab is education only. Live trade alerts, member research notes and the research archive stay with membership and the Research Desk Pass.

The Practice Lab is general education about options and uses paper trading only. It is not personal financial advice, and every trading decision is yours. Options carry risk, including the loss of the full amount paid, and past results, including published potential results, do not indicate future results. Weekly Options USA is not available to residents of Australia.
