I’ve heard of many different stock option trading strategies and would like to know which are the best ones to use. If you’ve had experience with any, please share your results in general.
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.

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!

kindly tell me as far as stock markets are concerned. I’ve heard of many terms like spreads in derivatives, momentum, technicals etc…
Position trading
A position trader can be compared to a squatter who sets up a tent in the middle of a crowded shopping mall, letting people pass by and stare but remaining relatively untouched by them until the authorities come in to shoo him off.
Since position trading involves staying in one position for more than a day, unfavorable market conditions rarely phase traders who use this trading strategy, unless they continue for more than a couple of days. Of course there are risks involved with staying in one position for so long, but the risks are less than those experienced by day-traders, who have to enter and leave the market many times in a day, leaving too much opportunity for mistakes. One disadvantage to position trading is that any changes that occur overnight or after hours can result in a serious financial loss. However, because of the constant fluctuation in currency values, the same magnitude of value change can occur in the other direction as well, allowing the trader to realize a higher profit during hours when most day-traders are asleep.
Scalping
Scalping involves making dozens or hundreds of trades a day, trying to scalp a small profit from each trade by exploiting the bid-ask spread. Scalping works because not all stocks remain on the move at all times. Scalpers generate profits from these non-moving stocks or turn around and sell for a profit those stocks that fluctuate in the positive direction. This way, they receive a small profit. This profit quickly adds up.
Some advantages to scalping include less exposure to risk (because it doesn’t have the time in one position to be effected), easier-to-obtain moves and more opportunities to realize a small profit. Of course, there are no perfect strategies. Many Forex trading platforms prohibit scalping and will charge a fee for making more than ten trades in a one day. Therefore, it would benefit the trader to find out if this practice is allowed on their particular platform.
It is important to have an exit strategy set up before trying to scalp, as it would only take one large loss to eliminate an entire day’s positive profits. Utilizing a one-minute chart will give the trader a better idea of what trades to make and which to shy away from.
Day trading
Day trading with the foreign exchange market is in some ways vastly different to that in other markets, in addition to which, day trading in the currencies market does not suffer from the unpleasant connotation that may spring to mind when one thinks of such things with relation to the stock market.
That said, if you have previously traded in other markets, then many items styles utilized in forex, such as forwards, futures, options, spread betting, contracts for difference and also the spot market are very similar to those used in the equity markets, and often maintain a minimum trade sizes for the base currencies.
It is worth noting however that day trading, being a fast moving, highly challenging trading style may not be for everyone. Should decide that day trading is for you, then there are also many different styles and variations of day trading with the currency market that you may wish to sample before choosing the form that feels right for you, or maybe you will prefer to utilize a series of styles.
The best way to learn the day trading styles with regards to forex markets is the same as in learning and perfecting any other trading style, or indeed other skill; by practice.
Talking to you forex trading mentor and other experienced day traders to see what styles have worked best for them over the years, ask for any hints, tips and techniques that may be of benefit and try them out before making the definitive choice of which style will be right for you.
Swing trading
Traders who can react quickly to market changes, including at-home and day traders, benefit from swing trading, which is a trade strategy that involves holding a position for longer than a day. If a trade seems to be going sour, swing traders can exit the market before losing too much money. Swing traders usually maintain a position for 3-10 days, taking advantage of any positive swings in the market. They flow with the market, taking little trades here and there. Most swing traders have an interest in the trends of stocks rather than fundamental values, although it has often been said that swing trading is a variety of fundamental trading. In fact, swing trading sits squarely in the middle between day trading and trend trading in terms of the length of time invested in a position. These traders stick around just long enough to see how the wind will blow before deciding to stay and see a trend through or go on to more profitable pastures.
Mechanical trading
Mechanical trading system is often touted as the end-all to Forex trading. Traders choose a system to follow and enter it into a program that will then pick starting and stopping points for trades as well as maintain a position, without requiring a trader be present to control those actions.
Implementing a mechanical trading system can be the best decision a Forex trader can make. However, it can also be hard for those traders who work off of emotion. The idea of putting future profits into the hands of a computer program can be a scary situation, however, with free platforms available now, it is a limited-loss system: a computer program won’t ride a trend just to see it plummet in the end, and a program can’t get cold feet and sell too early.
As an automated system, a mechanical trading system is a good all-around program to keep in the background. Whether a trader wants to implement a break-out system, reversal, indicator or trend-following system, there are plenty of options available.
Discretionary trading
Discretionary traders are the psychics of the Forex market. These traders rely on their intuition to decide when to enter or exit a market. While other trading methods emphasize the reading of signals based on formulae or patterns, discretionary trading involves using subjective experiences. They are the polar opposite of the mechanical trader.
Because discretionary trading is based on intuitive reaction, it is best suited to those traders who feel comfortable relying on their gut-feelings to tell them when to buy or sell. Many traders can make large profits by jumping on profitable position changes quickly. But there are also disadvantages to using this kind of trading system. Discretionary traders may end up making a great profit with their trades, but without using a formal system, there is no way to backtrack to find out how they succeeded, so there’s no way to repeat the process.
Even without having a fool-proof system, discretionary trading can be very profitable, while at the same time offering traders the flexibility and control to jump in and stop a trade that appears to be going downhill or modifying a bid to maximize profit if it appears that a trade value is increasing.

I have $100 to my name, and I’m feeling lucky. I’ve been practicing and learning trading strategies for the past 5 weeks on virtual trading websites where people can trade and the only thing fake about it is the money. I don’t know how to go about investing to start trading and make a profit from this only $100 that I have. Do I go to a bank? Any certain website? Is there a fee? How much? Minimum number of trades? Tell anything. When and how do I pull out once I’m satisfied with my gains?
im sorry but if you are asking those questions please do yourselfa favor and do not invest in the stock market. the market is for people with money. Most brokers (online and non online) require a minimum of $1000 to even open a brokerage account(which you need to open to even buy and sell stock). and yes there is fees for making trades. go to www.investopedia.com and you can create a free brokerage account with fake money so you can learn how to invest first
