Option Trading Course Fees in Mumbai: What ₹16,000 Should Cover
A friend paid ₹4,999 for a weekend options webinar. Another paid a large sum for a “premium mentorship” that turned out to be a tips channel. You are now looking at a ₹16,000 classroom course and wondering whether that is cheap, expensive, or just right.
Comparing option trading course fees by price alone tells you very little. What matters is what the fee buys: hours of teaching, live practice, risk training and support after the course ends. This guide breaks down Upside’s Options & Futures course fee so you can judge any course with the same lens.
All Upside figures below come from its published course pages.
The Fee, Stated Plainly
| Payment option | Amount |
|---|---|
| One-time payment | ₹16,000 |
| Instalments | ₹18,000 |
| Duration | 1.5 months |
| Format | Offline classroom, Dadar and Thane |
| After the course | Lifetime post-course support |
Paying one-time saves ₹2,000. If you need to spread the cost, read the FAQ on instalment options for fees. For questions on tax, see whether GST is included in the course fee.
What Option Trading Course Fees Should Actually Buy
A fair options course fee should cover more than slides and a certificate. Here is what ₹16,000 covers at Upside, and why each part matters.
Classroom teaching over 1.5 months
Six weeks gives enough time to learn, practise and ask questions. A weekend webinar cannot cover Greeks, hedging and sizing in any depth.
Both buying and selling
The course covers option buying and option selling. Learning only one side leaves you blind to the risk on the other.
24+ strategies with live-market practice
Strategies are taught on live charts and the live option chain, so you see how they behave in real conditions.
Greeks, option chain and hedging
These are the tools that explain why a position gains or loses value. They are core topics in the syllabus.
Position sizing
This is the single skill most linked to survival in F&O. A course that skips it is incomplete at any price.
Active-trader mentors
Trainers are active traders who can answer practical questions in class.
Lifetime post-course support
Questions come up once you start trading on your own. Ongoing support means you are not left alone after the last class.
The Fee vs the Cost of Learning by Losing
SEBI’s FY26 study found that 87.7% of individual F&O traders lost money, with an average loss of about ₹1.17 lakh per trader. Options caused around 92% of those losses.
| Comparison | Amount |
|---|---|
| Upside Options & Futures course (one-time) | ₹16,000 |
| Average F&O trader loss in FY26 (SEBI study) | About ₹1.17 lakh |
This is not a promise that a course will save you that amount. No course can promise results. But it puts the fee in context: many traders spend far more learning by trial and error than a structured course costs.
The post on why 9 in 10 F&O traders lose money explains what drives those losses.

Cheap, Free or Paid: How to Compare
| Option | Typical strengths | Typical gaps |
|---|---|---|
| Free videos | No cost, easy access | No structure, no feedback, no risk framework |
| Short paid webinars | Low cost, quick | Too short for Greeks, hedging and sizing |
| Tips or signal groups | Feels easy | You learn nothing; legal and financial risk |
| Structured classroom course | Syllabus, live practice, mentor feedback | Costs more upfront, needs time |

Six Questions to Ask Before Paying Any Course Fee
- Is the fee published, with one-time and instalment options clearly stated?
- Are there any extra charges for material, certificates or support?
- How many weeks of teaching does the fee cover?
- Does the syllabus include both option buying and selling, Greeks and hedging?
- Is there live-market practice, or only theory?
- What support is available after the course ends?

Who Gets the Most Value From the Fee
Any fee is only worth it if you use what you learn. You are likely to get strong value if you:
- Already trade options and want to understand why you lose.
- Can attend classes regularly in a weekday, weekend or evening batch.
- Will practise between classes and keep a trading journal.
- Plan to use the lifetime post-course support when questions come up.
If you have never looked at a price chart, ask the counsellor whether a foundation course should come first. Paying for the right course at the right time is better value than rushing into options.
