FAQ: best options trading newsletters
Are there free options newsletters?
Yes. The Unusual Whales Newsletter and both tastylive newsletters (Cherry Bomb and Cherry Picks) are free to receive.
Do I need to know options to read these?
Not always. Some, like the Unusual Whales Wednesday issue, are educational. Our options glossary explains the common terms.
Is this list a ranking?
No. Our own newsletter is listed first where it qualifies; the rest are in a fixed editorial order. Featured spots are paid and labeled Sponsored.
