But the truth is... Options trading is highly mathematical and challenging... There is nothing new in futures trading (at least in stock options... Commodities have different features and I'm not a trader in commodities... But have read somewhere that Bruce Kovner once lost good amount by doing calendar spreads in commodities)... It's actually the same as trading stocks except the leverage part and the short trading (in case you are trading in India)...
Options trading is an universe in itself... 90% of the options remain valueless at expiry... Most of the big traders trade options... Be it Jesse Livermore, Jim Rogers, P.T. Jones or Steve Cohen... Options give more flexibility to complex trading strategies... It's one of the most potent weapons in the hands of the knowledgeable traders... But it's better to know one's weapons before firing them (or there are chances of backfire ).
