Ltd. today announced the launch of the Spiking Options Trading Masterclass, a complimentary live training programme built as the companion to The Wall Came Down: Options Trading for the Generation That Was Locked Out, published by Spiking Press on August 13, 2026.

The programme answers a question the book raised but could not resolve on the page. When FINRA removed the pattern day trader designation and its US$25,000 minimum equity requirement on June 4, 2026, it opened intraday options strategy to a category of account that had been shut out since 2001. The book documents what changed and sets out the method. The masterclass is where that method is demonstrated in front of a live audience.

The Book Is the Foundation. The Class Builds the Understanding.

The two are designed to work as one. The Wall Came Down documents 56 options structures, each drawn to its expiration payoff. The masterclass teaches a reader how to read those diagrams — where maximum loss sits, where the breakevens fall, and the conditions under which a structure stops working.

Dr. Chiang teaches the session himself, with camera on and charts drawn live. There is no pre-recorded segment.

Author Comment

"A book can hand you the whole reference, and most readers will still stall at the first payoff diagram. That is not a failure of the reader. Structure is something you have to watch being built before it becomes obvious. The book gives you the foundation. Forty-five minutes of live construction is what turns it into understanding, and that is why the class costs nothing."

- Dr. Clemen Chiang, Author and Founder of Spiking

What the Session Covers

The 45-minute run of show moves from first principles to live structure-building, closing with an open floor for general educational questions:

• What an option actually is - right versus obligation, strike, expiry and premium, taken from the contract itself
• Stock versus option, side by side - where leverage comes from, what it costs and what quietly expires
• Reading a payoff scope - locating maximum loss, breakeven and the zone in which a strategy works
• Building the two-sided structures - the straddle and the strangle, built live, including the conditions in which they fail
• Where the 56 strategies fit - a map of ten families, from single-leg directional structures to synthetics and arbitrage
• EPIC - equity, property, income and crypto, and why each pillar does a different job

Fifty-Six Structures, Ten Families

The reference behind both the book and the class organises 56 structures into ten families: four single-leg directional, seven stock-and-option, four vertical spreads, four ratios and backspreads, two ladders, eight straddles and strangles, eight butterflies, seven condors, six calendar and diagonal, and six synthetics and arbitrage. The full set of payoff charts is published at https://spiking.com/56.

Deliberately Beginner-Level, Deliberately Not a Signal Service

The session begins at the definition of a contract and assumes no prior options experience. No brokerage account or software is required to attend.

It carries no tips, signals or price targets, and gives no individual trade recommendations. The programme also teaches what breaks: a long option can lose the entire premium paid when the expected move does not arrive, and selling uncovered options can produce losses greater than the amount invested.

Registration and Schedule

Sessions run live on Zoom, last 45 minutes and are complimentary to attend. Registration is open at https://spiking.com/ masterclass, which displays the start time in the visitor's local time zone. Registration for a session closes when that session begins.
