Even if you do all the necessary research and work out an objective options trading strategy, there are always factors that could damage your option trading. The important thing to remember is that there are no easy ways to make money in the market. The following are some of the risks that may arise and damage your options trading:

• Markets may reverse suddenly and unexpectedly or jump quickly to the opposite direction anticipated

• Markets may be choppy and directionless for a long time

• You may win a number of victories and then increase your commitment to trading and suddenly lose

• You may become averse to trading options after a series of losses and stop, but the next trade you would have made could have been a winner
