My one warning for anyone jumping into trading for the first time is that it is better not to trade then to trade without establishing the odds in your favor.

I cannot emphasize enough that overtrading is a hallmark trait of a trader who is heading down a slippery slope to losing a lot of money. To trade profitably, you must be like a sniper. You are not taking aim at every potential opportunity, but rather carefully setting yourself up to make the most of the few selected opportunities.

While there are no certainties in options spread trading, you can use a few simple tactics and strategies to minimize your risk exposure and maximize your probability of a successful trade. If you do this every time on small trades and repeat the process frequently over an extended period, you will have an excellent chance to generate a steady income from options spread trading.
