NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 10, 2025 / In a world obsessed with quick trades and overnight wins, Ryan Hildreth stands out for building something far more sustainable: a disciplined, repeatable options trading system designed for consistent monthly income.
As the founder of Options Trading University and creator of the YouTube channel Options With Ryan, Hildreth has become known for teaching everyday investors how to generate steady cash flow using conservative strategies like selling cash-secured puts and covered calls. His approach focuses on structure, patience, and risk management rather than speculation.
From Day Trader to Disciplined Investor
Hildreth began trading in 2014 while studying finance, chasing the fast-paced world of day trading before realizing it was built more on emotion than process. The turning point came in 2020, when he lost a six-figure account during the market crash.
"Everything changed when I discovered the power of selling options for consistent income," Hildreth recalls. "Once I understood how to control risk and stay patient, trading became calmer and more profitable."
That moment of clarity led him to rebuild his system from the ground up, centering it on rule-based decision-making, proper cash allocation, and clear entry and exit criteria.
The Foundation of Options Trading University
Through Options Trading University, Hildreth now mentors traders who want to earn steady returns without the stress of constant chart-watching. The program includes over five hours of structured modules, live portfolio reviews, and direct mentorship with Hildreth.
Students also join a private Discord community where they can review trades, discuss setups, and learn from real market examples rather than theory alone.
"What separates us is the personal connection," Hildreth explains. "You're not just watching videos. You're learning how to apply strategies with live feedback when it actually matters."
The Options With Ryan Approach
Hildreth's framework, taught both inside the University and on his Options With Ryan YouTube channel, centers around selling options on quality companies while targeting 3 to 5 percent monthly returns. Since 2020, his own portfolio has averaged roughly 45 percent annualized growth, a testament to the power of disciplined risk management.
His strategies rely on three core pillars:
Selling cash-secured puts and covered calls on strong, liquid stocks
Adjusting positions using volatility indicators like the VIX
Following strict portfolio allocation rules to protect capital and stay consistent
Members range from doctors and engineers to teachers and entrepreneurs, professionals who want structure, clarity, and a proven framework that fits around busy lives.
Lessons That Built the System
When the 2020 volatility spike wiped out much of his portfolio, Hildreth could have quit. Instead, he rebuilt his entire approach with one principle in mind: consistency beats intensity.
"The goal isn't to gamble on market direction," he says. "It's to build a repeatable system that generates steady income month after month."
That mindset has become the foundation of Options Trading University, where members learn how to think like risk managers instead of speculators.
Looking Forward: Process Over Prediction
Through Options With Ryan, Hildreth continues sharing his trades and transparent breakdowns on YouTube, emphasizing education and mindset over hype. His goal for Options Trading University is to build long-term credibility in the industry, one disciplined student at a time.
"My mission is simple," Hildreth says. "Teach people to trade with structure, compound wealth over time, and remove the emotion from the process. Because the right system doesn't just grow your account, it gives you peace of mind."
