Introduction "Success in a free country is simple. Get a Job, get an education, and learn to save and invest wisely. Anyone can do it. You can do it."

–William J' O'Neil- William J' O'Neil is one of my all time favorite authors. He has inspired me (through his books) to do great things within the world of investing. It was his encouraging words, as well as others, that kept me going when I was a young wannabe options trader trying to find my way. And after 9 long years of tweaking, testing, and perfecting, I am proud to share with you the results of all my hard work and that is…

The Option Profit Formula It's an unbelievably simple formula… But please note I said simple, not easy! It works like this… You take your current Income… You accumulate or leverage it, and use it as an options trading Asset… And you then use that asset to produce a stable and consistent monthly Income no matter which direction the stock market is headed. And it's an income source YOU control!

I + A = Income Freedom

The Option Profit Formula has allowed our family to experience what I call the trifecta of wealth building… Having more family time... More income… And more ways to give back…

Maybe you're one of the millions of people out there afraid you won't be financially independent at some point in your life… Or maybe you're afraid of losing money in the stock market and would like to know how to guarantee you won't lose money… If so, would you like to learn a simple 3-step formula that will give you true financial freedom and an income source you control?

Well the Option Profit Formula does just that and it empowers investors who are tired of losing money in the stock market to earn 2-5% each month without being glued to the computer all day. Right about now you may be saying, "Yeah right…"

And I have to admit…those new to trading OR those who haven't had the fortunate pleasure of enrolling in a coaching program that produces results, will look at the above statements and think they sound a little too good to be true…

I even thought that at first, but here's the truth as I have experienced it… I was born in a small town in Virginia. I grew up in poverty, in a house that had no running water or bathroom. We used a 5-gallon paint bucket as a toilet. Growing up poor, I was highly suspicious of anyone who had money. I was even more suspicious of anyone selling me a course on how to become wealthy. I had been brainwashed to believe that all rich people were evil and greedy…

Fast forward several years and this poor boy got lucky and stumbled across a few rich people nice enough to knock down my walls of skepticism. And once those walls were down they taught me all their "not so secret" ways of how they made their millions.

And just one of the many things I learned was options trading! You may know me as Trader Travis as that is what the trading community calls me, but what most people don't know about Trader Travis is that I struggled to succeed in the beginning just like everyone else. But I kept at it and I never gave up… I have no magic push button easy solutions to share with you. I don't believe in them and think they are a complete waste of time. I do NOT support the notion of getting rich quick and I am allergic to lazy people! I have no easy way to riches to share with that crowed.

All I have is a story of hard work and perseverance… A story of a man who kept trying and trying until he found something that "actually" worked and that continues to work year after year. And 9 years and several hundreds of thousands of dollars later I can say without a doubt that the Option Profit Formula works and it will work for you…"IF" you put in the actual "WORK" to learn it! In the accompanying video I'll be sharing with you some of the results I've achieved following this formula. And if you ever enroll in our more advanced training you will watch me trade my own account. At the time of the writing of this report my trading account is up 40% for the year.

And this is during one of the "worst recessions since the great depression." Yeah right, what recession? Our family decided NOT to participate and we'll show you how to do the same thing.

After 9 years of staying relatively unknown I've finally decided to come out of my trading cave and teach these strategies to all those who are willing to invest in themselves and their education. And in March of 2010 I started a coaching program and taught the Option Profit Formula to 10 brave souls… Below is just a small sample of what Option Profit Formula success looks like... You have Michelle who more than doubled her retirement account. http://www.learn-stock-options-trading.com/options-mentoring-helped-me-double-my-retirement-account.html You have Harry who had already spent $15,000 on his education before he found us. http://www.learn-stock-options-trading.com/harry-d-options-mentoring-success-story.html And you can thank Jussi because he emailed us to say he's trading so well on his own that he wanted to give his spot in the program to someone else. http://www.learn-stock-options-trading.com/jussi-h-options-mentoring-trade-contest-winner.html And then you have my good friend Roger who was the ultimate skeptic before he joined. It's amazing how success will change your perspective. http://www.learn-stock-options-trading.com/roger-w-successful-options-trading.html You'll find more of these stories within our trading community and you can even listen to their interviews. It's been a pleasure watching those individuals experience the freedom that a proper trading system can bring to your life.

That's what systems are for. My early mentor (Mark Victor Hansen) used to say a system was an acronym for Save Your Self Time Energy and Money.

If you'd like to do just that (save time energy and money), then keep reading… The core strategies that I use to give me income freedom are listed on the next few pages. These are the foundational strategies that I teach in The Option Profit Formula Mentorship and Coaching Program…

OPF Basic Video and E-course This course takes the information on our website (Learn-Stock-Options-Trading.com) and gives it to you in a more convenient format. It has been converted to audio, video, and pdf format. It's also been updated with more current trades and I'll walk you through some of my past trades. You can read the eBook version, watch the videos whenever it's convenient, or even listen to the audio training while working out or riding in your car. The course was meant to be a basic overview of options trading. I've heard it's "the best" and "most simplified" course on the web. And since I created the course I wouldn't dare dispute the public's opinion.

Please ensure you know the basics by heart as all success originates here! After observing both successful and unsuccessful traders alike, I have noticed those who succeed are the ones who not only have the basic principles committed to memory, but also follow them. Those who fail are usually the ones who rush through the basics in an effort to get to the end (the trading options part). They read or scan the basics for comprehension, but they don't know them by heart.

Would you let a doctor perform heart surgery on you if you knew he rushed through medical school just so he could get to the operating on people part?

Sadly, I've seen people make the same mistake over and over again. They only want to know the strategies. They think the trading strategies are going to put money in their pocket. That couldn't be further from the truth! Everything works together like all the parts to a car. You can own a Mercedes Benz (strategy), but unless you have gas in the car (the basics), it won't run. Trust me; there is nothing basic about the basics. It ALL works together to help you become a successful options trader.

Option Profit Selling Course There are 3 primary strategies we teach within the "Option Profit Selling Course." They are: ETF for Life Strategy, Covered Calls for Cash, and Credit Spread Cash. The ETF for Life Strategy This strategy combines the best aspects of "covered call" trading as well as "cash secured put" trading. It was my answer to the problems that had plagued me for years while trading covered calls. Let me explain… Here's a short and overly simplified lesson on covered calls and cash secured puts: Selling put options is one of the many strategies option traders use to generate a consistent and guaranteed monthly income; Somewhat in the same way that a bank certificate of deposit (CD) will pay you a guaranteed monthly return. But with options the percent return on your money is generally 2-5% a MONTH. At that's because of the higher degree of risk you're accepting when you trade options.

Selling a Put option obligates you to buy a stock at the strike price of whatever option you sold. And in exchange for this obligation you get cash.

There are primarily 2 approaches to selling cash secured puts: 1.) You can trade them purely for monthly income or 2.) You can sell put options with the full intention of buying the stock at a discounted price. In summary, selling puts on stocks can be a good way to make money each month OR a good way to try and buy a stock you'd like to own at a lower price. Now let's move on to covered calls…

Page 9: The Option Profit Formula - Learn Stock Options Trading · Well the Option Profit Formula does just that and it empowers investors who are tired of losing money in the stock market

Covered Calls for Cash Selling covered call options is a strategy that is best used when stock prices are trending in a channel or rising slightly. It's similar to collecting rent on a piece of lease purchase property. For instance, suppose you were renting your home to someone and you let them "rent with the option to buy." The way these leases work is the tenant pays $X a month for a set period of time and at the end of that time period they have the "option" or the "right" to buy the home. If they choose not to buy the home then they lose out on all the rent money they paid you. Covered call options work somewhat the same way.

You will first buy shares of stock (buy the house) and then sell or write call options against the stock (rent your house out with an option to buy).

So if you own 100 shares of company XYZ, you would sell 1 call option to someone giving them the "right" to purchase your stock from you. In exchange for selling these rights, the buyer is going to pay you money. This money is yours to keep no matter what happens in the future. If the option doesn't get exercised, you keep your stock and the money you were paid for selling the option. Sounds great doesn't it? Of course it does…everything sounds great in theory until you actually put it to use and discover all the flaws.

In this short report we won't have time to go into full detail, but 2 of the most common flaws are that 1.) Covered calls limit the profit you can make when stocks rise and 2.) They don't protect you that much if the stock crashes in price. I didn't like these flaws so at some point in my trading career I decided that I'd like to make money both when the stock rises as well as when the stock falls and that is when I created the "ETF for Life" strategy. The ETF for Life Strategy I sell cash secured puts when the stock is rising and if the stock falls in price considerably I will have to buy the stock. At this point I simply sell covered calls on the stock. I decided I liked selling covered calls on stocks that were falling in price as it gave me a higher probability that I would keep the cash from selling the call option.

The biggest objection people have to this approach when they first enroll in the training is overcoming the fear of owning a stock that's falling in price.

But I'll show you the one small twist I added that essentially guarantees I'll never lose money. There is still a possibility of loss, but I dramatically lower the chances of that happening. Again, this was an overly simplified example. We will go into much more detail in our training videos. You'll learn "how to" actually trade this strategy and also watch me implement the strategy in my own personal account. In summary, here are the benefits of this approach…

• By selling stock options you can realistically earn 60% or more on your money each year. It's perfect for those with a hectic work or life schedule.

• By using this strategy you'll learn how to generate enough money to live off

without having a million dollar portfolio.

• And depending on how you use this strategy you can set it up to manage your trades in less than 10 minutes a day.

At the end of this training module you'll have a complete and fairly conservative strategy you can put to use today that will produce a consistent income each and every month. Now let's move on to our "Credit Spread Cash" strategy…

Page 11: The Option Profit Formula - Learn Stock Options Trading · Well the Option Profit Formula does just that and it empowers investors who are tired of losing money in the stock market

The Option Profit Formula

11 |OPF Coaching; Copyright 2012 www.learn-stock-options-trading.com

Credit Spread Cash After you take part in this training you may be ready to ditch covered calls and make the same monthly returns without the hefty risk of investing in individual stocks. But of course, like everything in options trading there are drawbacks and tradeoffs, but you may find that the benefits far outweigh the risk. The reason most people prefer this strategy over covered calls is…

1. It takes less money to place the trade… 2. On a per trade basis there is less financial risk and… 3. The percent return on your money is "generally" 5-10% a MONTH…

As I explain this strategy don't try to "get it" just yet. If you try too hard to understand this strategy it will actually prevent you from learning it faster. Just listen to what I am saying and comprehend it at a basic level. For example… Credit spreads fall into the same category as covered calls and they are what is considered "income strategies." Credit spreads are 2 legged strategies which means there are 2 options or components that make up the trade. Now don't go trying to understand legs and the sorts. All I want you to do is focus on the basics: it's an income strategy and it involves a set of options. Got it? Okay let's move on…

Credit spreads are a very simple trade. You sell one option, buy another for protection (your insurance against massive loss), and hope that the option you sold is not "in the money" on expiration day.

FACT: A stock's price can only do 1 of 3 things: go up, go down, or go nowhere.

Page 12: The Option Profit Formula - Learn Stock Options Trading · Well the Option Profit Formula does just that and it empowers investors who are tired of losing money in the stock market

The Option Profit Formula

12 |OPF Coaching; Copyright 2012 www.learn-stock-options-trading.com

A traditional buy and hold investor can only make money when stocks go up in price. So they only make money in 1 of the 3 scenarios. But with credit spreads you profit in 2 of the 3 scenarios. So essentially you have more chances to make money. There are 2 types of spread strategies you will learn: The "bull" put spread and the "bear" call spread. The term "bull" refers to stocks going up and the term "bear" refers to stocks falling in price. So with the "bull put spread" you benefit if the stock goes up in price (or nowhere in price) and with the "bear call spread" you benefit if the stock goes down in price (or nowhere in price). Quick question: Was your investment portfolio damaged in the last bear market?

Well if the stocks in your portfolio have grown stagnant and are not producing the gains you want then credit spreads are a good way to profit off stocks that go absolutely nowhere in price!

And it's because options are wasting assets. Each day that time goes by, part of the option's value will deteriorate and for this particular strategy that's a good thing. Summary…

• Credit spreads involve both buying and selling options for monthly cash flow…

• In the training you'll see an example of how one student could have earned $30,000 a month instead of the $6,000 he made trading covered calls…

• And it's another way to generate income to fulfill the Option Profit Formula…

There is one guy within our training program who has no personal debt and he uses this strategy. With a $60,000 trading account he's managed to earn anywhere from $2,000 - $5,000 a month in income. Of course this depends on how the stock market is behaving, but I hope you can now see how options can allow you to earn a full time income without having a million dollar portfolio. I can't wait to teach you this strategy as it will blow your mind as to how relatively simple it is to make a substantial income each month trading credit spreads.

Option Profit Buying Course There are 2 primary strategies we teach within the "Option Profit Buying" Course and they are: Buying Call Options and Buying Put Options. Percent R Profits In this training module we teach you how to trade the good old fashioned way… You will learn how to read stocks charts manually and without software. You'll learn how to spot stocks they are poised to make a big move in price either up or down. We will then show you how to precisely use the Williams %R technical indicator to aid your entry into the trade. This is what I used to grow $10,000 into $70,000 my first few months of trading (the stock market was more stable back in those days). The Williams %R indicator is simple to use and this template only has 4 steps to it. It's so simple that it often offends traders who are looking for complex systems to trade with. In this training you'll essentially learn how to be a swing/trend trader.

You're going to buy call options on stocks that are rising and you're going to buy put options when stocks fall.

Buying calls and puts are the trades where you can make 50% to 100% return on your money in a matter of weeks, if not days. It's what we call accelerated wealth creation! But of course with these high returns come a higher degree of risk and we will teach you how to minimize that risk so you don't end up losing all your money.

It's like learning how to ride a motorcycle. Motorcycles are extremely fast and powerful, but you have to learn how to respect the power or else you'll end up killing yourself.

There are some drawbacks to this strategy though…yes you can make a lot of money real fast, but you also may be waiting weeks and often months to trade.

This strategy absolutely needs and requires a strong trending market environment. If you try to trade when the stock market is stagnant or unpredictable, then you WILL lose money. That I can guarantee! So essentially this is a big boy strategy and it requires a higher level of patience and discipline than normal. So in summary here is what the Percent R Profits training module will do for you…

• You'll learn how to accurately predict future market trends using one of the most heavily used technical indicators, Williams %R…

• We will walk you through the 4 steps every "trending" strategy should have…

• You'll finally know how to pick an entry and exit point and you'll have 3 different exit strategies to choose from…

• We will also cover the option chain and help you make sense out of the hundreds of options available and show you the absolute best option to pick if you want to give yourself a fighting chance to make money…

• And you'll discover the 3 steps you should take if you want to develop the confidence to trade real money…

When you finish this training module you'll know from firsthand experience the true power of options. You won't be reading about that power anymore, but you'll have real world experience to back up the hyped up claims you see online. Your biggest challenge with this template won't be making money, it will be managing your greed and patience because once you "see" the power of options it will be incredibly difficult to sit on the sidelines waiting for the perfect opportunity. But here is what I tell my students, "Patience = Profits…"

Semi Automation Success In this training module we teach you how to trade with the use of software. We use Marketclub's trade triangle technology to semi-automate your trading routine. The benefit of this approach is that the system gives you precise entry and exit signals for your trades. So if you're scared of making mistakes and losing money then Marketclub might be a good start for you.

In my opinion it gives you a shortcut to trading success and gives your emotions a much needed break from guessing on when to get in and out your trades.

The downfall so to speak is that Marketclub is not software I created. It's a 3rd party service I use so there is a small fee you have to pay to become a member of Marketclub. This is why we also provide you with the Percent R Profits training as there is no additional cost to employ that strategy. However, Marketclub does offer unbelievable value for a low fee and most of the students I know pay for their yearly subscription with 1-2 trades. In this training, just like on the Percent R Profits training, you'll essentially learn how to be a swing/trend trader.

So, you're going to buy call options on stocks that are rising and you're going to buy put options when stocks fall.

But this time you have software telling you when to get in and out of trades. After realizing how accurate their software is I now use Marketclub for roughly 80-90% of my trades.

As I said above, our program is not for the faint of heart or the easily distracted. Life will get in the way once you enroll and you're going to have to fight back in order to reach your income goals. Now before I talk about the investment needed to enroll in our course I want to share with you an email Belema (my assistant) sent to someone inquiring about the program.

If you are not aware, Belema was one of my very first students. She's incredibly modest and you probably won't hear her say this, but she more than doubled her account after taking the course. The fact that she wanted to join our team says a lot about the experience she had as a student. Someone named Spencer sent an email to support and asked Belema the following question: You said you have taken the course correct? Honestly do you think his program worked for you? Here was her response: Hi Spencer I think it was the best investment I made. I was among the very 1st students that Travis took on. I saw his website and thought it was so easy to understand. However, I was interested in spread betting and my husband was the one interested in trading options. I sent Travis an email asking if he taught spread betting and if he could mentor me. He replied that he was an 'options guy' and didn't offer training in anything! 3 months later he sent an email saying he had received a few requests and if I was still interested, he was going to start a class soon. I was really pleased and was keen for my husband to join as I wasn't interested in options still. After weeks of nagging (!) my husband he said, 'why don't you do it?' and I joined in anger at my husband, honestly, best decision ever - now my husband ask for my help with trading! Now, I'm not going to make it sound easy, cos it wasn't, there is a bit of commitment to the program and I can say that you only get from the program what you put in. But if you are willing to stick to the program and watch the videos more than once, do the homework, and ask questions, you will succeed. Don't expect a miracle and $millions in a couple of months, that is unrealistic. But the greatest benefit I feel is that you get to learn a life skill, something you can pass on to family and also be a blessing. There have been a few who have said they haven't benefited, but when we check the logs we see they haven't been logging on to watch the videos or do any of the work Travis asks, or even ask questions. If I had a choice of doing it again, I would do it again, but maybe earlier than when I did! Kind regards Belema

So YES we will ask you to put in a little effort. And at times we will be a pain in your butt! BUT if you do all that is required of you, you will discover that we were a profitable pain in the butt .

The Investment Needed We receive a lot of emails inquiring about the financial investment needed to enroll in our advanced training programs because everyone wants to make sure they have their affairs in order so they can join on the first day enrollment opens.

We always sell out fast and have to close doors to enrollment early! Even though we do group coaching we do NOT accept hoards of students like some companies…herding them in like cows going to the slaughter. NO we keep our class size small and intimate to simulate the feel of a 1-on-1 coaching environment. If you've been to one of those 1 day promotional seminars or browsed online for awhile then you know the industry average for options education is between $5,000 – $9,000. And 1-on-1 coaching can cost you $10,000+. Here is a link so you can see for yourself: http://investools.com/courseCatalog.swim I myself had to invest roughly $9,000 myself, but I ended my first year with around $20,000 in profit. When I was first introduced to options trading I thought the trainings were expensive and if you happen to also think that's expensive you are absolutely right! It's just one of those things where "you don't know what you don't know" and when you have no experience with trading options you have nothing to compare it to. Since its financial education you could compare it to an MBA in finance… And according to Investopedia.com, in 2008 the average cost of the top 10 business schools in the U.S. was $94,900 for tuition in a two-year MBA program.

And from what I hear an MBA in finance teaches you to be a high paid employee, but you'll actually make more money with less effort with options trading. And it will be an income source you control.

You could compare it to the cost of giving your money to a financial planner or mutual fund manager…

But according to the Spiva report 85-90% of all professional managed funds underperform.

By investing in your financial education you're essentially investing in your freedom.

• How much is your freedom worth to you?

• How much would you invest to ensure your retirement is secure and you are free from the burden of having to work in corporate America?

• How much would you invest to find a way out of the rat race so that for the rest of your life you are in complete control of how much money you make and that you will never have to get a job another day in your life unless you choose to?

What is that worth to you? That's what you need to figure out and then do everything within your power to find a program that meets those parameters. Our classes are custom made based on the needs of the group and so far we've been able to design training in the range of $2,000 – $5,000 and our average student has a starting account size between $10,000 -$30,000. Some have much more. Not cheap by any means, but a little more affordable than the industry standard and with the same profitable results! Make no mistake about it. Becoming a successful options trader is like becoming a member of a private club for wealthy people. There is a high price of entry, but it's soooo worth it! And you are also worth the investment! Again, the industry average for options education is between $5,000 - $9,000, but once you start trading options that $5,000 - $9,000 will go from seeming expensive to being your monthly income you can easily earn.

And that's what I meant when I said if you have no experience trading options you have nothing to compare it to. So the proper way to evaluate any options course is to compare the value of your freedom to the investment needed to enroll in the course. And since you've never experienced what it's like to be a private client of ours it's important that you know that I was not taught to focus on cost first. It's the wrong way to do things. Putting money before people is why our country has a financial crisis now and why we have protesters lining the streets. The millionaires I learned from were what you called "enlightened" millionaires. They believed in giving back to society, which is why they taught me how to become a millionaire instead of keeping all their money making secrets to themselves. They taught me a 3 step process that forces me to have the heart of a servant. The First Step is I need to care enough about you to figure out what your needs and challenges are and then see if I can help you solve them. That's why you are asked to answer a few questions when you first join our mailing list. The Second Step is that if I can't help you with your goals then I assist you with finding someone who can. If I can help you then I review our training modules with you and see if it's a good match with what you're trying to accomplish. And the Third Step is to ensure that you get at least a 10 fold return on whatever investment is needed to enroll in the program. Right now we are on step 2; seeing if what we have to offer will serve your needs. So that is why I needed a few days to review the answers from our community questionnaire to see if our program could help you solve your financial challenges. We do things a little different than everyone else so it often catches people off guard. But it's a good different as our students enjoy the experience they have and the results they achieve. We want to make sure you feel like the investment in our program was one of the best decisions of your life and that you got 10 times the value compared to the investment. And if anyone understands the position you are in, it's me…

You're in that same place I was many years ago where I was trying to decide if I should invest in my education and invest in my future or continue on the path of self education. The path of self education is often called the poor man's journey and I stayed on that journey far too long. It was tough, it was scary, but I stepped up and did what was best for me and my family and hundreds of thousands of dollars later I know that decision made all the difference!

Investing in my education was one of the BEST decisions of my life! Disclaimer: that decision does take a back seat to 2 other important decisions: Giving my life to Christ and marrying my wife. I had to throw that in there as my wife proofs my work and living with an unhappy wife is NOT fun ha ha Anyway…now is your time to step up. Thousands have done it before you and there has never been a better time, but you have to act fast because we only leave registration open for a few days. We'll send you an email with the precise dates. We run our training programs like a college class…we have a registration period…then we close it…and we start the class. So go ahead, step up, and make a decision. My job is to get you to make a decision. Whether you say yes or no doesn't matter, its okay either way. You just don't want to be paralyzed by inaction because even if you don't make a decision, you've still made a decision.

It's a decision that you're going to keep the same life that you have today! So decide one way or another. If you're ready to step up then now is the time to act. Opportunity waits for no one and I don't want you to pass this one up and then experience the bitter taste of regret. You are either remorseful or resourceful. There is no power in regrets!
