Here are 6 steps to learn options trading. Please note that reading may be easy but implementing needs patience, hard work, commitment, money, time and energy:
Step 1: Read about options basics first here:
Options Greeks Explained Delta Gamma Theta Vega Rho
Step 2. Read 3 times the above page so that you learn the Option Greeks by heart.
Step 3. Then watch one At The Money (ATM), either Call option (CE) or Put Option (PE), move with the stock for one hour at least.
Step 4. Do this for 3 days – same stock, same time, without a break in between.
Step 5. Now on the 4th day after seeing the option move for half an hour you will get some confidence to trade. If yes – buy the option. Do not take too much risk – just one lot. Keep 5 points profit target and 2 points stop loss target in the trading account. This broker offers such an option. Do just one trade a day. Keep it intraday only. Do not take the trade the next day if you lost, and do not get excited if you win. Do not trade a second time the same day – you will lose.
Step 6. Do no. 5 for the next 10 days. Do not break the rule. If you are good – which means if you are making a profit – buy 2 lots on the 11th day – now go back to no 5 and trade for the next 10 days. See
your results after 20 days of trading. If you are still winning then on the 21st day increase the number of lots to 3.
Continue for days and days… same stock same strategy – do not deviate from the strategy. Do not get overconfident even if you are making very good money. Your stop loss and target points since now integrated in your brain should never change. Do not change the stock, and do not change the time of trading. Your body and brain are habituated to trade at that time so do not change the time.
After 50 days of continuous trading, you will know whether you can be a good options trader or not.
