Investors can wager on the future direction of the stock market as a whole or specific instruments like stocks or bonds by trading options. Option contracts provide you the option, but not the duty, to purchase or sell a basic resource at a predetermined price by a predetermined date. Because of their high leverage and unpredictable nature, option trading and derivatives are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, earnings are effectively doubled by ten when just a thousand dollars is required to oversee ten thousand dollars in investments. Conversely, the losses are doubled. Given that the act of investing and trading in the options market may appear to be a bigger challenge than investing and trading in various types of assets such as bonds, exchange-traded funds, stocks, currencies, and commodities, you’ll swiftly uncover that their complexity is smoothly boiled down into fundamental concepts that you’ll be able to comprehend and have extensive knowledge with the stock market. If you are interested in starting this type of trading but are concerned about the possible risks, use this course as your primary source of knowledge on the world of option trading and derivatives.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OptionPosition+ at 4.0 against Options Trading Course's 2.0. OptionPosition+ also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 1). Options Trading Course's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OptionPosition+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Options Trading Course asks for nothing beyond the download.
OptionPosition+ holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OptionPosition+ has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of OptionPosition+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Options Trading Course's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
