How To Make Money Trading Derivatives
Is anyone out there making money trading options derivatives? Is it possible to earn a living doing this?
Please only answere if you have actual experiance trading options and derivatives.
What’s a good place for me to start learning how to trade?
Can you recomend a specific web site that for option and derivative trading?
I know there is significant amoung of risk involved but the reward is great as well.

I have some profits and some losses trading options, but my profits are greater than my losses.

Yes, if you learn enough about it, have enough capital, spend enough time at it, and follow good money and risk management plans. I have never tried to make a living it at since I have always had an adequate income elsewhere.

For learning about options I suggest you start with the free tutorials at
http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/default.aspx
After that, I suggest you read one or two good books about options trading. Any of the books at
http://www.cboe.com/Institutional/Bibliography.aspx
should be good. My favorites are
McMillan, Lawrence G.: Options as a Strategic Investment, Fourth Edition
Natenberg, Sheldon: Option Volatility and Pricing, Revised Edition
but you should scan as many of these books as you can and pick the one(s) you are comfortable with.
I will also mention that one options author, Mark Wolfinger, is a regular contributer to the Yahoo message board at
http://messages.yahoo.com/Business_%26_Finance/Investments/forumview?bn=4686677
as “dagnyt”. (Mark is a former market maker and now is a retail trader.)
If you are interested in his books you can find them at

You can take as much or as little risk as you want. I think you will find most professional traders usually pick spreads less risky than simple stock positions.
