"Options Trading for Rookies: Understand Options Completely" will quickly help you understand the basics of Options trading in just a few hours.
Course
The course is by Kal Zurn and is a paid course on Udemy. It runs around 2.5 hours. It's the most expensive of his courses at $124.99, although I think he runs specials now and then. The follow-on courses are a lot less expensive, usually around $14-$16 each.Overview
The course is broken into several sections: Intro, Defining Options, Options vs Stocks, Call Options, Put Options, and a "Bonus Section" Vertical Options. (He digs much deeper into verticals in the follow-on courses.)
At first glance, I was a little worried this would be too basic for me. I've been trading Options for a while, have watched a lot of YouTube videos, read several articles, and already took courses on stock trading before this.
Fortunately, I'm glad I didn't skip this course and go straight to his more advanced classes. That's because for each section, he digs into several scenarios; helps better understand Probability of Profit (POP); and, finally, how and when a trade can lose even if the original thesis is correct -- probably the most confusing aspect of Options trading for beginners.
Critique
Overall, a big thumbs up on this course if you have you been trading Options for less than a year, only dabbled, or lack confidence that you truly "get it." Side note: I find it easier to follow a specific track for training in a course format than by clicking through seemingly random YouTube training videos.
A kind of annoying negative to note however. The volume really varies throughout the sections. For example, let's say he's talking at "volume 6 of 10" in one section, but in the next where he is doing an aside, he may suddenly be at "volume 9 of 10" and you have to scramble to turn down the volume (only to turn it back up in a later section.)
