Newbie question

There's nothing wrong with trading 1 contract positions when you're starting out. In fact, it is probably recommended. Though 2 lots are better IMO.

I'm not sure the question of average size really makes much sense.

Good luck and prosperous trading.

Quote from IIAce:

Oh wow...I just realized that if I only wanted to spend $100 + comissions like I originally thought, I'd only be able to buy one contract...

What's the average size of an option trade? I know one contract must be the minimum...
