What's the least risky options writing strategy?

[nwoptions]

Hi guys,

I've got about $10,000 (CAD$) saved up. What's the most conservative options writing strategy that I can use?

Also, did you learn options trading from a book? or from this forum? or somewhere else?

Thanks

• Credit Spread
• Covered Call

IMO ..... due to the volatility options should be bought - not sold.

It depends on how you define "risky", and "strategy".
