This review will take an in-depth look at the course material and strategies that Hari Swaminathan offers at OptionTiger so that you can make a more informed decision regarding its merits as a site to learn options.

Details about OptionTiger
OptionTiger was founded by a self-taught options expert Hari Swaminathan. He offers some of the most in-depth training on options I have come across as well as an options trading service that is suited to short, intermediate or long-term traders. First is his Holy Grail strategy, which is a monthly income strategy that so far hasn’t had any losses. Next are 7 modules consisting of 47 courses, which will catapult you from a novice to an options trading expert. What’s great about Hari’s training is that you can customize your order by choosing a package of either 5 or 10 courses from these 47 courses. And finally you can choose to purchase his TigerTrading Ideas service which you can read more about below.

When you buy the Holy Grail strategy or the OptionTiger courses the training is presented in:
• Video lessons explaining the details of that course module
• ebooks explaining the strategies
• Webinars by Hari that thoroughly explain the concepts related to options trading

“We are building upon the learning from previous modules. First, we have to master individual options positions (Modules II and III), then we moved to Options spreads (Module IV), picked up critical market knowledge in Module V, and finally we tackle the four-legged beasts in this module.

With a 2 year track record of consist 5-10% monthly returns under any market condition this is a strategy that can change your financial future. The concepts you learn in Holy Grail strategy are part of the above mentioned course material. The only difference is the way that knowledge is applied for generating a consistent monthly income.

TigerTrades Trading Ideas
Hari’s trading service was started in February of 2013 and as of July 2013 it has produced a profit of $80,000 on a $350,000 trading account; that’s a 35% return in 7 months. He offers three types of trades that you can choose from depending on your trading style and schedule.

1. Monthly Income or Monthly Cycle Trade:
Approximately 60% of the trades fall into this category. Hold time is less than a month. Strategies used are long options, debt and credit spreads and some advanced strategies.
2. Weekly Options and Earnings Plays:
These trades are for advanced traders who can monitor their trades and make quick adjustments and often involve higher margin.
3. Medium term Trades:
Hold time is typically 1 to 3 months with low risk and high reward. These trades usually follow some market news and will lock up your margin for a period of time.

Here are some highlights from Week 1 – Feb 2013 Trades
“The first week of the Trading Ideas was exciting and eventful to say the least.
Trade 1 – NFLX Bear Call
This was supposed to be a simple trade when we got the trade entry right. NFLX went down, and the Bear Call was immediately profitable. A Bull Put on the other side seemed safe, and the trade was converted into an Iron Condor and supposed to cruise toward expiry. A-ha..we had some surprises in store, but the trade worked out with a 14% return.

Trade 2 – CMG Iron Condor before earnings.
Gave a 10% buffer zone on either side.
CMG did not move much after earnings. We captured a 12% return the next morning or 80% of the max profit for the trade. Nice.

Trade 3 – AAPL Long Call.
Caught AAPL at a very good point before it made the big move up. Long Call converted to a Diagonal.
Captured $3000 profit, a 60% return on this trade.

Trade 4 – LNKD Iron Condor
Basking in glory from the CMG Iron Condor trade, we entered a similar LNKD trade.
LNKD blew through our Call spread by a mile –
But watch the amazing adjustments and how this trade ended.

Performance for the week – $7000, Return of 1.8% on the absolute portfolio.
Note: Trade Ideas are updated over the weekend. Our customers get real-time notification of all trades.”
