    If you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t be trading options. Most brokers have different levels of trading options. Level 1 is for covered calls, where you own the underlying stock and sell a call on that stock. The next level is for buying puts and calls, the next is for naked calls, and then you can get into the really hairy stuff that is the next level.

    Of course the broker is not going to allow you to trade until you have signed a form that you have read and understand the CBOE options guide AND have the funds available to back up your trades.

    its getting lower and lower.
    The way i earn is by putting ads by google on my website.
    The websites and ads both are provided free by google.
    The link that i will give u will explain how to open a google ad account free,and put ads on ur blogspot site.
    The system is simple and genuine.Google takes money from the companies who want to give ads on internet(they are called advertisers)
    Google will display the ads on webpages of the people who are registered with google for that(they are called publishers)
    When any visitor clicks on anyone of the ads google give a good share of the ad revenue in our account and sends it thru a check when 100$ accumulate.
    I m making anything between $200-$300 per month,by working 2hrs daily.If that is enough for u ,u should go for this system.
    Everything depends on how much traffic u are getting on ur website.I get most of the traffic from forums like yahoo answers and others.Also if u update ur website with quality and original content,the google search engine catches it and then u get automatic traffic too.
    for making a free blogspot site go to blogger.com

    And to open a google publisher account,and to learn more, go to
    http://a-s-y-r-a-f.blogspot.com

    i have other blogsites too like this http://angle-mine.blogspot.com (u can make as many as u want and post whatever u like)

    Goodluck.

    $2000 is the minimum but not the optimum.

    Depending on your strategy you need different amount of capital too. Some strategies like covered call or multiple spreads can be costly, while straight call put buying will be cheap.
