Pastimes : Play It On Paper- Clappy's Newbie Option Thread -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Hi Dalin, I'm just getting my feet wet with options.
I have a lot of learning to do.
I figure it's better for me to make a few mistakes on paper before I go live.

I'm also investigating the different strategies to lower the risk.
So far this thread has attracted folks who are in the same boat as me, and more importantly, it seems to have attracted some kind-hearted experienced options players who will hopefully continue to open my eyes to other possibilities.

Playing this stuff on paper eliminates all the stress of using real money.
I find decision making to be much clearer.
Hopefully I will be able to carry some of this clarity over when I begin to go live.

Talk to you later.

-Clappy
