I've started paper trading or small swing trading options in a paper account. It's very interesting. I use the same breakout strategy I use for swing trading to profit from action on short-term options contracts. Either day trading those contracts or holding a few days.
I'm also working on puts with breaks of resistance using basic technical analysis. Key with options is you have to be ok with larger swings. You also have to have a lower allocation of your total account per trade. I'm limiting a single options contract to 3% of my total account value.
Any other tips from some of you, please share!
