Think you can beat the option market?
First make sure you can beat the option market simulator— Option Market Sim

With the option market simulator Option Market Sim you can:

Bring in current option-market data and simulate trading in the options market.

Learn option trading in a way that is consistent with modern financial theory.

Explore and refine trading strategies under whatever market conditions you want.

See how quickly you can make— or lose— millions of dollars.

Test trading strategies that trading gurus recommend. See if they are foolproof or foolish.

Find out how well you can deal with the unexpected.

Find out if you've got what it takes to beat the option market— before you put your money at risk.

 
Black-Scholes option pricing theory and the models that grew out of it revolutionized how traders think about options. Today traders understand that every financial forecast is a probability distribution. They know that to value an investment is to evaluate its probability distribution.

Option Market Sim makes it easy for you to learn to think the way sophisticated traders do. You can draw your forecasts as probability distributions over different trading horizons. You can compare your forecast visually to the forecasts implied in option prices.

When your forecast differs from market-equilibrium forecasts, you can exploit the difference. If you're right and the market's wrong, you can make a lot of money very quickly.
