instrument because every segment and instrument is different so most of things
changes, from your trading capital to its strategy to trade them and make money from it like you can’t trade in stock
option like index options otherwise you need face losses without reason so keep
this in mind when starting options trading.

instrument? Which other things affects this instrument like, new, company
reports and microeconomic factors. How you as trader trade this instrument by
your way and develop the required skill and practise to make money in it. After

notes on what you have known, understand and what not. Search that, clear your
doubts and queries.

money in options then select next one and repeat the same process and try
to cover all the instrument from different segments with theory and practical
knowledge to be able to trade in all the instruments and make more money.
