I'm a conservative trader, this means that before i enter into a trade i must have an entry and exit strategy, I have also used stop losses on almost all of my trades. Options trading is risky for me because of the nature of the trade, as i like to choose long term trades based on future events occurrence which forms part of my trading signals. For a Day trader, I think options trading is an option but to me who is conservative and my trades are either short term or long terms - options trading is more rigid.
