The Cohort
In-person (Zoom™). Small group. No shortcuts.
Twenty students maximum. In-person (Zoom™) only. A curriculum that starts with charting and ends with you knowing how to think, not just what to do.
What you get
In-person (Zoom™) teaching
Every session is live and in-person (Zoom™). No recordings. No watching videos on your own schedule.
20 students maximum
Not a marketing number. I trade first and teach second — the cohort size reflects that.
Charting before options
The cohort begins with a minimum of three sessions on reading charts and following markets. Options come after.
90 days of Discord support
After the cohort ends, students have 90 days of access to me on Discord — for questions, not for signals.
What this is not
- —Recorded courses you can watch on your couch
- —Trade signals or alerts to copy
- —A subscription community or ongoing membership
- —Suitable for anyone with no stock market background
- —Financial advice or an advisory relationship of any kind
Who this is for
You need to arrive with some foundation.
The cohort is not designed to start from zero. Students should have a basic understanding of the stock market before they apply — how stocks work, what a brokerage account is, some familiarity with reading a ticker. I won't turn away someone who is eager and close to ready, but I'll be honest during the application process if the fit isn't there yet.
On responsibility
I will give you the skill. Every trade you place is yours. You are responsible for it. Do not follow me. Do not follow anyone. Make your own decisions and own the outcome.

From past students
Joseph has a unique way of breaking down trading concepts into simple, easy-to-grasp lessons. He didn't just teach theory — he showed us how to actually apply covered calls and cash-secured puts in real scenarios. Thanks to these classes, we feel more confident, empowered, and financially disciplined. It's rare to find an instructor who combines deep knowledge with such a clear teaching style.

I came into this course as a relatively new trader in the options world. I now have a solid understanding of how to manage risks, read charts more confidently, and apply smart covered calls with real data. The most valuable part was the homework — it made me think, apply concepts, and connect them to real-world examples. This course has been a game changer.

Learning options trading on your own is like climbing Mount Everest without a guide. When I found out about Joseph's course, I wanted to learn from a teacher, focusing on one strategy in small group sessions — where I could ask any question without fear of judgment. By the end of the class, I had placed my first option trade confidently and felt ready for more. I wish I had taken this class years ago.
