While you may be familiar with trading shares of stocks and mutual funds, you may not have conducted much buying or selling of options. Options are popular tools for adding diversity to an investment portfolio to collect premium or hedge the risk you assume in your other investments. If you have a trading account, you have almost everything you need to start trading options.
Investing is not as simple as predicting whether or not the price of a stock will rise or fall. When you are researching options that you are considering buying or selling, you will need to look at the strike price and the time remaining to the contract's expiration. These factors, combined with the amount by which you believe the underlying instrument will rise or fall, determine potential profitability.

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options can be substantial. Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial position to determine if futures trading is appropriate. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose the full balance of your account. It is also possible to lose more than your initial deposit when trading futures and/or granting/writing options. As a result, selling/writing "uncovered" options exposes the seller/writer to the possibility of margin calls and virtually unlimited risk. All funds committed should be purely risk capital. Past performance is no guarantee of future trading results.
