    About a quarter of the way through the book "Options, Volatility, and Pricing" by Sheldon Natenburg

    Awesome how you saw something analysts seem to have missed. I don't really want to play the lottery with options. I would like to find a niche that keeps me at least breakeven for a while as I learn. Are there any tools you use in your options research that you would consider so important...

    About a quarter of the way through the book "Options, Volatility, and Pricing" by Sheldon Natenburg

    The only reason I have a problem pulling the trigger is because Options, unlike stocks, can expire completely worthless. So the trepidation is more a function of the risk of my investment immediately becoming worth ZERO dollars. lol. So if I make a mistake on my first trade, I can lose it all...

    About a quarter of the way through the book "Options, Volatility, and Pricing" by Sheldon Natenburg

    So I understand everything I am reading (some sections I've had to reread over and over until they made more sense to me). Now, where do I begin actually trading options? How do i find opportunities? I have an account already funded at an options broker. Seems very overwhelming to me...

    Here is what I would like to do. Use NinjaTrader for charting stock, futures, and options data. NinjaTrader7 only goes back 10 years for EOD data, or so I have been led to believe (please tell me if I am wrong). So, i would like to retrieve the EOD data from yahoo finance and then have...
