What this Grok bot does
Learn options trading from zero with one short plain-English lesson a day and a quiz on the last one. Say "keep going" for a bonus lesson when you want more. Optional pretend-money practice and on-request company case studies. Education only: no trade picks, no advice. Options can lose 100% of the premium paid, and sellers can lose far more.
