If someone is right 8 or 9 out of 10 times consistently, it's not luck.
Looks like he's no idiot, but I don't see anything about how much money he made trading options or how accurate he was. Some of the smartest people around are also often the worst traders - such as most doctors, etc.
(Corrected) Read "Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator" about Jesse Livermore and "How to Trade in Stocks" by Livermore. He made over $1B in today's money at one point solely by trading. His mistake was not quitting when up so much, but it doesn't change the fact that he accomplished this legendary feat. These days over 99% of those claiming trading success is nonsense imo, to try to sell a course or chat room subscription.

If you just put your money in an S&P 500 fund and leave it there, you'll do better than the majority of the active traders who think they have the secret sauce to beating the market.
