POTM Course
Information
WHAT IS THE POTM COURSE?
Anton Kreil and ITPM understand that the world of options trading is a complex environment that can be confusing to retail traders that are trying to get a fundamental understanding and how it can be applied to their trading education.
As an ex professional trader at Goldman Sachs, Anton has created the Professional Options Trading Masterclass (POTM) to help retail traders that already understand volatility, trade idea generation and risk management to go to the next step. This course teaches you how to structure trade ideas using equity options, providing an additional edge to retail traders and enabling a higher potential for superior returns.
The POTM video series takes you through multiple directional options trading strategies that retail traders can use to build a Long/Short Portfolio of equity options structures to take advantage of underling equity moves in a 20 to 60 day time horizon.
​
The POTM Video Series really is the icing on the cake to the education at ITPM. The directional strategies you will learn in the POTM Video Series in order to leverage your trade ideas are what sets apart the returns of the best professional traders versus the average returns of decent professional traders. The directional strategies and structures you will learn in the POTM Video Series can easily be replicated in a Retail Trading Account.

Options are a derivative product whose value depends on and is derived from the price of the underlying asset. Options due to their complexity require an entire video series dedicated to them with ITPM. Unlike other financial derivatives like ETFs, Index Futures etc which are easier to understand because these derivatives simply mirror the price of the underlying asset. Options are far more complex.

-
Provide an in-depth educational program for retail traders globally on trading options in their retail brokerage accounts

WHAT WON'T I LEARN IN THE POTM COURSE?
The Professional Options Trading Masterclass (POTM) does not teach students how to fundamentally select stocks or currency pairs to go Long and Short i.e the systematic process used within the PTM and PFTM Video Series.
​
The Professional Trading Masterclass (PTM 2.0) video series teach students how to obtain fundamental views on stocks utlising a Professional Trader Level Systematic framework. If you want to obtain that skill set, students will need to subscribe to the PTM video series.
