Familiarizing myself with the platforms used to trade is paramount. I opened and closed by first trades on MetaTrader. Overnight, I made $200 play money with little understanding. I read that commissions are built into the spreads. It's all forex, and I still have to pick literature to study on the subject. I've placed my second order on it a few hours ago. There are a lot of analysis tools.
In Robinhood, there's a good bit of info on options trading. Straddles, strangles, iron condors, debit/credit spreads. I'm beginning to understand them more, but I need more examples. Being "assigned" is clearly something to avoid when more than one position is open. I remember seeing illustrations in one of the books I read. Alright, I'll expound later this week when I'm not working 12 hrs/day.
