It seems like most people are here to trade Forex or some kind of form of day trading. I saw the post about 95% failure (or maybe more) in Forex, does anyone know if the same ratio applies to Options trading? Or what is the failure rate? It seems like Options trading is safer to trade or am I totally mistaken?

Thank you for your time and patience with me. I just want make sure I totally understand this. All I want to know is when I sit in front of my computer and open my broker's website and then select Put-Bid, then I am SELLING Put-Ask then I am BUYING Call-Bid again selling Call-Ask buying right?

Here is where I get confused: I select Put then Bid in OptionsHouse and I get the following: (see the jpg) It says Sell TWTR, yet I am a Buyer when I select the bid, right!?

Hello everyone When I select let's say PUT->$1.00 Bid then: I am selling it for $1.00 to a buyer? or I am buying it for $1.00 from a seller? I read the following statement: "The Bid price represents the maximum price that a buyer or buyers are willing to pay for a security" Does that mean $1.00 is the maximum price I am willing to sell for or buy for from seller!? I can't seem to understand that simple concept!!! :crap: WHO AM I WHEN I CLICK On: PUT-BID!? Does the $1.00 represents: seller of the PUT or a buyer!? Thank you for your time!
