A newbie's path to learning options

I am trading only stocks and YM futures right now, but I want to learn options also. What learning steps do you recommend?

 

Running shoes, so you can run fast, and far away from them.

 

But according to this article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2803925-at-and-t-a-conservative-strategy-could-earn-20_9-percent it is wise to attach secure version of options trading to trading strategy.

I assume that all who wrote negatively about trading options are all well educated in the various options strategies ( non- directional, volatility plays, pre-earnings calendars, etc. ) and are not purely technical Forex traders.

Please look further than comments on this forum as there are a few solid strategies that have less risk than any other trading instruments available and in fact are black swan resistant.

 

Many books (Amazon, ET), a lot of search (including ET), a lot of research, a lot of simulated trades, ask many questions (on ET or else), unlimited hours, etc., etc. --- Finally, may or may not get the right answers you want, because ... ! lol

 

Jump in -- that's the quickest and best way to learn.

 

Not the wisest way...

 

Why you want to learn to trade options? Are you profitable in YM?

 

Yes.
