Good Morning!

Welcome to Part 1 of the "Fast Track" program!

This mini-course will cover the next 2 weeks highlighting our top video lessons. Today, we''re going to focus on laying the foundation for trading with some important options trading principles and facts.

Just click the video links below to be taken straight to each tutorial. Plus, if you''re really excited, you can always go through all of the videos in Track #2 as quickly as you''d like.

[VIDEO] Introduction to Track #2
[VIDEO] Fearless, Confident Options Trading
[VIDEO] Historical vs. Implied Options Volatility

Now that you''ve gotten started on our training platform, I''d love to take a second to introduce myself again and let you know a little bit about my background.

My name is Kirk Du Plessis, and I''m the Founder and Head Trader here at Option Alpha (and have been for 10+ years) and live in Pennslyvania (USA) with my beautiful wife, two daughters and son.

I launched Option Alpha back in August of 2007 and have published more than 1,700+ blog posts and 1,250+ video tutorials to date.

I''m very blessed to have been a featured contributor to Barron''s, StockTwits, Smart Money, Bloomberg, and other financial publications.

I also host the #1 ranked weekly podcast for traders which was recently awarded iTunes ''Investing New & Noteworthy'' where I interview some of the most inspiring and successful traders and share my own personal journey. We just crossed 500,000+ downloads.

My goal is to pull back the curtain and give you as much training as possible (in all the right areas) so that you can learn to make decisions for yourself.

Because at the end of the day, you have the capacity to do this on your own - you just need a little help getting there!

See you right back here bright and early tomorrow morning!
