Customer Reviews
Well Rounded
What a nice mix of beginner education and real life technical snapshots. The sincerity of the host is truly believable. Looks like it may be on hiatus , but hoping it returns!
Great Podcast For Part Time Traders
I find this podcast really good for people who are part time traders. Usually, option podcasts are for full time traders ( unlike me ), so they become highly irrelevant. I stumbled open this someday and I’m really happy that I did. The YouTube channel that goes along it is very helpful on explaining things to me. Thanks a lot Vivek!
Best podcast for part time option traders
I find Vivek’s approach to option trading appealing and actionable. I have subscribed to other podcasts, but most are targeted towards traders who are full time into trading. OptionGig is focused on part time traders like me and I have learnt a lot from this podcast and it’s YouTube channel.
