Difficult to give you a straight answer as it depends on :
  1. Capital you have
  2. Risk you are willing to take
  3. Market conditions

I second what rleplae said - I would also add 'experience' to the list.

It is probably less than you think, with a whole lot more risk than you think. Options (and any trading really) is very hard.

Always remember:

You will compete against the best professional traders, having large experience and best possible education. They have all fundamental knowlegde available almost in real time, and can use the best computers.

Imagine any other profession you have not studied. Perhaps Medical Doctor or Rocket Scientist or Chemical Researcher. Would you feel to be ready to compete against the best of them in their field of expertise ?

I am always surprized how many people think they can make a lot of money in trading without being at the level of their competition.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Sound and excellent advice.

I think people think it is easy because the barriers to entry are so low (if you have a pulse, you can open a trading account).

All the StockTwits and Twitter "trader porn" (cars, girls, etc) only amplifies it.

I go to Twitter sometimes, and I feel really stupid. Apparently all traders on Twitter are making huge bank, every day...

I actually started with options because I could not afford to buy enough stock to make it worthwhile. How much you can make is unlimited. People do make a good living from trading options. If you only got as far as a good six figure income life would be good.

Just curious - how many people do you know making a good living from trading options, and/or making a good six figure income from options trading? Then, what about the flip side - how many do you know who failed at options, and lost a bunch of money?

OP wants to know how much he can make, but it is important to show the reality - most people lose.

You make a good point. I am not sure how many lose money. A lot I am sure. My perception (obviously scewed) is from my own experience, friends and the people that I have trained.
