Entreped, good choice~ Follow the board because this board is very, VERY good when it comes to options, all the previous posts are bang on "YOU CAN LOOSE IT ALL WITH OPTIONS" BUT with the right knowledge and TA skills you " CAN MAKE A KILLING TOO-For life", First you must learn before you earn, simply speaking. Glad you decided to paper trade, how long? depends on you, if you understand chart TA and option premium volatility, your on the right track, 1-2 months, most here didn't paper trade(IMO..I know I didn't) going from stocks in my case pinks/OTCBB some B chips to options, haven't traded a Pink/OTCBB since. Link below for simple option trading vocabulary when placing your order to buy/sell when you are ready to trade. Enjoy!!
