Adrian Rinnus

Adrian Rinnus is a co-founder of MindTrajour and has traded options himself. He has not personally traded every strategy described here: the Academy also brings together researched strategy types so their use, mechanics and risks can be explained comprehensively. First-hand trading experience and that editorial research together inform the worked examples and specific figures on these strategy pages.

MindTrajour exists because the tools traders actually use for tracking, sizing and reviewing option positions were built for stock trading, not for multi-leg options with defined risk, assignment exposure and greeks that move faster than price. The Academy grew out of the same gap: a lot of options education either recommends specific trades or hides the downside behind vague language. Neither is what a trader deciding whether to open a position actually needs.

Every strategy page in this Academy is held to the same editorial standard: the numbers come from MindTrajour's own structured data file for all 30 strategies, not from memory or a template filled in loosely per page. Claims about market mechanics, assignment or margin treatment are checked against primary sources — CBOE and OCC documentation — and cited where it matters. Nothing here recommends a specific underlying, strike or expiration; the Academy explains how a strategy type works and what can go wrong, and leaves the decision where it belongs.
