Three things you’ve been told about options that quietly cost you every time.

Don here.

You’ve been handed three pieces of advice about options that sound smart. Every book says them. Every beginner course starts with them.

All three are wrong — and I watched them cost people for 15 years from inside the brokerage business.

The first one: buy a call if you think it’s going up, buy a put if you think it’s going down. Simple. Also why most people lose — you’re betting on a guess with the clock ticking against you and nothing underneath you if you’re wrong.

The second one: set a stop-loss and you’re protected. Here’s what actually happens — eight times out of ten, that stop takes you out first. Then the trade turns around and goes exactly where you thought it would. You were right. You just weren’t in it anymore.

The third lie is the most expensive one. I’ll save it for Tuesday — because the fix for all three is the same, and that’s what the session is really about.

October 13th. 1:00 PM eastern. Free. I’ll show you 80 trades from my own account, walk through five on actual charts, and hunt for the next one live in Tuesday’s market.

And one person in that room walks away with $1,000 at the end. Random draw. Must be present.
