  1. 01 Foundations Calls, puts, and how to read a chain Two contract types, four fields in a quote, two components of premium, three states of moneyness.
  2. 02 Foundations The payoff diagram at expiration A curve that reads max profit, max loss, and breakeven at a glance. Same shape across thousands of strategies.
  3. 03 Mechanics The long call, deep When a long call is the right tool, how to pick the strike, how to size it, and the one trap that costs beginners more than direction ever does.
  4. 04 Mechanics The long put, deep The mirror of the long call, mechanically. Pricing skew, hedging use, and the cost of running a permanent insurance policy.
  5. 05 Mechanics Bull put spread (credit) Sell premium with a defined-risk floor. The neutral-to-bullish income trade that pays you on day one.
  6. 06 Greeks Delta in detail Direction sensitivity, probability proxy, hedge ratio. Three jobs in one number, with the same range across every chain.
  7. 07 Greeks Theta in detail Time decay, day by day. Not linear, not symmetric across strikes. The Greek that quietly funds the short premium business.
  8. 08 Greeks How each Greek evolves over an option's life Greeks are not constants. Each one changes shape as expiration approaches, and the changes interact. Sense for the dynamics beats memorising a single snapshot.
  9. 09 Mechanics The iron condor A bull put spread and a bear call spread stacked on the same underlying. Defined-risk neutral premium selling. The named product after this app.
