About The Course
Intraday Options Selling Strategy by Theta Gainers is designed to take you into the side of options trading that most retail traders never properly understand selling. While option buyers fight against time decay, option sellers use it to their advantage. This course breaks down exactly how volatility, premium, and time decay work together, and gives you a complete, practical strategy to sell options intraday with discipline and clarity. Instructor Reyaansh Upadhyay takes you from the fundamentals of options selling to a deep understanding of volatility regimes and premium behaviour, and then into the core of the course a complete intraday strangle strategy with clear application and disciplined trade management. By the end, you will understand not just how to sell options, but why and when it actually makes sense to do so.
