Key Takeaways

Start with the right account: Not all brokers support options—approval levels matter.

  1. Learn the language: Understand terms like strike price, premium, expiration, theta, delta, and Vega.
  2. Begin with defined-risk strategies: Covered calls, cash-secured puts, and vertical spreads are great starting points.
  3. Practice with paper trading: Simulated trading builds confidence without financial risk.
  4. Track and review every trade: Logging your trades helps identify patterns and improve over time.
