Which Stock Option Trading Systems Should I Use For My First Trades?

I just learned about iron condors and double calendars but which one should I use since I am just starting out?

1. If you have to ask, don't even think about this game. It's high risk big-time follow-it- 24/7 for the big boys and girls who worked up to playing the game because they had a lot of experience in the markets, the smarts and the hustle to do it. Not a single one of them who made money ever asked a question like yours. Of course they will gladly take YOUR money to play THEIR game. Are you totally up on the math and logic of risk analysis and hedging? If you know the basics of the game, then you know how to make pretend trades over a period of time. Do that and then thoroughly study why you made or lost on each trade.
2. To be successful at trading options in the stock market, you'll need practice. The best way to get practice is through paper trading, that's where you follow a stock and pretend you are actually putting trades in and then taking them out, hopefully for a profit. You can also find books on the subject, like on amazon or barnes and noble. You'll need a good foundation on the basics. There are also different strategies when it comes to trading options so you'll need to learn those first as well. For more advanced ways on how to trade options, there are sites that offer guidance. The advantage with these sites is that they will take you beyond the basics and offer you a better chance at higher returns on your trades. I've listed some sites below that you can check out, they are for information purposes only and not a recommendation. However, you will learn a little more than what you can get from reading books. http://www.stockoptiontradingsystems.com http://optionsexpress.stockoptiontradingsystems.com http://tradeking.stockoptiontradingsystems.com I think if you start your learning this way, you will be able to succeed in trading options. Others have done it so there's no reason why you can't learn how to do it too. Hope that helps and good luck!
