Depends on what type of strategy you're doing with options. Options are kind of like a penny stock, but you'll know quite a bit quicker if the speculative investment is going to work out. There are a lot of option strategies you can use that will limit your losses and also limit your gains. I don't trade options and I don't recommend them to 95%+ people.
Twaves does daytrading, swing trades(1-15 days usually), has some value/growth plays, and also does futures trades(S&P500 E-mini). It is definitely worth checking out if you're a proactive investor.
