      #1

      The concept of options is still treated with fear and trepidation by some people. You need to have a trading plan that works, and it needs to keep your risk low and your potential for reward high.

      #2

      Trading is a very exciting experience, but it takes time to learn and develop skills. Take your time to decide on your strategy and nurture your skills. When you are able to turn down substandard opportunities with a shrug of the shoulder, you’ll know you’ve arrived.

      #3

      An option is the right, not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price before a predetermined date. The option has a value, which we will examine later.

      #8

      Selling an option obliges you to buy from or deliver to the option buyer if he or she exercises the option. Selling options naked gives you an unlimited risk profile.
