Optionpit – The Option Pit Gold Level Course
The Option Pit Gold Level Course was designed by two previous floor traders, and created with each of their personal training and experience in mind.  It has been set up in a format much like a college course. It is by far the most in depth course out there at a fraction of the cost of other programs. 
The Option Pit Gold Level Course is also taught by two educators who, most importantly, consider themselves traders first.
