The Ultimate Options Course
In the next 30 days, you'll learn to read options the way institutions do — so you stop bleeding money on random trades and finally know why your decisions make sense.
Why I Left the Banks & Started Teaching
“You've probably seen a hundred option trading courses online. Most promise overnight success. Mine doesn't. I just want to teach you within 30 days what actually works — because I've seen what doesn't.”
After 20 years inside top financial institutions — having managed billions in option positions — I had the money, the status, the respect. As the former head of European options trading desks at Citigroup and Bank of America, I was running huge risk, trading strategies which I now teach to retail traders, and mentoring junior traders who went on to run their own desks.
But something was missing. The part I loved most wasn't making millions — it was teaching others how to make sense of it all. After two decades in the trenches, I left it all behind and launched Options Insight — a place to teach real institutional strategies in a way that makes sense for normal people.
This course is the result — 72 lessons distilled from everything I've learned running institutional books, mentoring bank traders, and coaching hundreds of retail students since 2018. I keep refining and adding to it as markets evolve, because the goal is for this to be the definitive resource on how to trade options properly.

Judge Me by My Students
Real traders. Real results. Real reviews.
“Imran is the best options teacher I have ever met. A trustworthy and incredible teacher! He teaches options in such an intuitive way that I can handle the Greeks much easier and faster. I spent lots of time reading books and doing academics, but taking Imran's class turned out to be the best way to master options trading. He teaches complicated stuff in such a simple and condensed manner. Whether you are a student or retail trader, it's a great learning opportunity.”
Sonny S.
Course Graduate
“Imran's technical knowledge and foundations on Equities, Derivatives, and Options are second to none. When I started on my graduate programme at Credit Suisse, I used to regularly have one-to-one sessions with him and he was clearly able to marry up the academic learning with real-world trading and market insights. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about this space.”
Kanishk Swarup
Credit Suisse Graduate Programme
“Imran is a great teacher. He is able to explain complex concepts in a simple manner, and is passionate and very patient — which makes learning with him very enjoyable. He doesn't just teach specific trading techniques, but rather how to think about options and trading. He has been a big influence to me, and I credit much of my success to his mentorship during the early stages of my career. I still use some concepts that he taught me in my day to day trading now.”

The Transformation You Can Expect
Before the Course
- Familiar with "call" and "put" but can't explain how time decay, volatility, or moneyness affect option value
- Glancing at options chains and feeling overwhelmed — bids, asks, Greeks, open interest are noise, not insight
- Guessing at pricing inputs and second-guessing every entry and exit
- Treating volatility as a buzzword, not a measurable edge — watching profitable traders capitalize while you miss opportunities
- Piecing together random strategies with no clear framework — inconsistent results and mounting frustration
- No repeatable system for hedging, managing risk, or adjusting trades as markets move
After the Course
- A rock-solid foundation in every core concept — intrinsic vs time value, Greeks, skew, term structure
- You dissect options chains like a pro — understanding how to identify value, read flows, and structure multi-leg trades
- You use delta, gamma, vega and theta with clarity, assessing the true risk and reward in every trade
- You use volatility as a weapon, not a mystery — you measure, monitor, and exploit both implied and realized vol
- A complete playbook of proven strategies (spreads, butterflies, calendars, VIX plays) tailored to any market
- Confidence to hedge, adjust, and scale positions dynamically — turning losers into winners before expiry
Service Guarantee
What You Get: Imran keeps working with you free of charge until you achieve recurring extra monthly income and you no longer get confused entering trades. This essentially guarantees that you will achieve the goals you set.
How It Works: Provided you have gathered a sample of at least 30 option trades or 30 days of live trading (share your account statement), and results are not on your side, this is what happens:
- Email support@options-insight.com requesting the “service guarantee.”
- Imran will work with you and others in a similar position on a dedicated private Discord channel.
- This assistance is valued at 4 digits. You pay $0.
- Daily questions answered. You show commitment, Imran keeps working with you.
Only 2 Scenarios: Best case, you get the results you desire by putting in the work (as Ivan, Anh, and many others have). Worst case, you tell Imran the course is not enough — he takes you under his wing and you turn the corner together.
If I can't help you make money, then I don't deserve yours.
