Data-Driven Options Strategies
The Simplest, Best-Performing Options Strategy From 18 Years of My Research
LEAPS are the simplest way to trade options with high return potential and the highest probability of long-term profitability. The course explains the math behind that edge, why LEAPS hold up where short-term options strategies fall apart, and the entry rules, sizing, and management steps backed by nearly two decades of data.
The data behind it all
Key strategy insights from 18 years of market data
These results are from the featured LEAPS Growth Strategy, tested across everything the market threw at us from 2008 through 2026.
84% of trades hit 100%+ returns at some point during the trade
Most positions reached at least a double before exit. The chart shows the percentage of trades that reached each return threshold during their lifetime. Keep in mind these are 1+ year trades (LEAPS), so this is not an overnight success.
Losing trades happen, but winners overwhelmingly made up for them
No strategy is bulletproof. There are losses here (most of the worst ones came during the 2008 crash), but every trade is limited-risk, and the winning trades more than recovered the capital lost on losers.
*These are hypothetical backtested results. Real trading will be different, and every options trade can lose the entire amount you put in.

Your instructor
Chris from projectoption
I started projectoption in 2016 to teach options trading clearly. Since then, the channel has reached over 36 million views and become one of the most recommended options resources on the internet.
The YouTube channel teaches core options concepts. This course is built entirely on data. I created the video course from my own research. I wrote the backtesting code, ran every test, and created the visualizations you see on this page. The strategies in this course are the outliers I found after analyzing thousands of trades across 18 years of market data.

"Thank you very much for the course and research you did, Chris!"

What's included?
27+ detailed video lessons, the full LEAPS Growth Strategy, real trade examples, bonus presentations, and any future content additions.
How is this different from your free YouTube videos?
The free YouTube videos teach general concepts. This course is purely data-based, presenting the best-performing strategies I've found from years of analyzing options strategies.
Will this work with a small account?
Yes, the strategies in the course can be traded with $2,500-$5,000 accounts with minor adjustments and by using lower-priced stocks/ETFs.
Do I need to watch the market all day?
No. These are longer-term trades that allow you freedom from the screen.
What if the market changes?
Markets always change. The course teaches you how to evaluate whether a trade's profit requirements are realistic before you enter, so you can avoid setups where the math doesn't work in your favor.
