Why I Share Every Trade
Most trading educators only show their winners. I show everything because I believe you deserve to see the full picture before investing your time and money in learning these strategies.
Real Money Trades
Every trade is placed in my personal brokerage account with real capital at risk.
Wins AND Losses
You see every outcome - the profitable trades and the losing ones. No cherry-picking.
Real-Time Alerts
Course students receive alerts when I place trades so they can follow along in real-time.
Meet Your Instructor
I'm Spicer Matthews, a software engineer turned options trader. I started Options Cafe because I couldn't find a trading course that showed real results with real money.
Every trade you see on this site is one I've placed with my own capital. I believe the best way to learn options trading is to see exactly how an experienced trader approaches the market - including the mistakes.
