Peter Pru
Peter Pru (born March 15, 1990) is a Polish-American options investor and financial educator. He is the founder of OptionSellerSchool.com and the creator of ArkPicks.com, an artificial intelligence-powered options research platform. He is known for developing the Ark Options Strategy, a conservative approach to options trading focused on systematic premium generation.
Early life and education
Peter Pru was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His interest in finance and investing developed after college, when he worked as an information technology specialist at a high-frequency trading firm. During this period, he was exposed to systematic trading methods and professional investment environments, which influenced his later educational approach.
Career
After leaving the technology sector, Pru spent more than five years developing and refining his options-selling strategy. He initially taught his methods privately to friends and family.
In 2024, he launched a YouTube channel focused on conservative options trading and portfolio management. The channel gained attention for its structured and risk-managed approach to investing.
Following the channel’s growth, Pru founded Option Seller School, an online education platform offering daily market analysis, community discussions, and training programs focused on options strategies.
In 2026, he introduced ArkPicks, a research platform designed to automate technical analysis, news tracking, and trade idea generation. The platform integrates multiple data sources into a single dashboard for investors.
Ark Options Strategy
The Ark Options Strategy is a systematic investment approach developed by Pru. It emphasizes income generation through:
- Cash-secured puts
- Covered calls
- Interest on collateral
- Dividend income
- Capital appreciation
The strategy focuses on capital preservation and consistent returns rather than short-term speculation.
Philanthropy
Pru founded the 100 Contract Club, a community initiative that links trading milestones with charitable donations. For every member who completes 100 options contracts, the program donates 40 Bibles to prisons, youth programs, and religious ministries. The initiative has a stated goal of donating one million Bibles over ten years.
Personal life
Peter Pru resides in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Kellie, and their three children.
