Can I trade options with $500?

Yes! Start with cash-secured puts or covered calls on affordable stocks.

What’s the biggest mistake options traders make?

Ignoring theta decay. Selling options benefits from time decay; buying options suffers from it.

Stocks drop by the dividend amount on the ex-date. Adjust strike prices accordingly.

Weeklies have higher theta decay (good for sellers). Monthlies offer more time for thesis to play out.

Premiums from selling options are taxed as short-term income. Consult a tax professional.
