Hello. I want to trade options only long calls and long puts instead of trading just stocks. The problem is that when i trade in the money contracts for the next month for example the expected profit is lower than the risked money. Is there a solution to this problem? I mean i want to risk as little as i can and my profit to be higher than the risked money.

Thanks

Hello

I started learning to trade options a few months ago.
Due to an overwhelming schedule, I’m still on my first few paper trades.

I know the basics about how things work,
I use basic methods of trend analysis (Elliot wave, moving averages) and I know in theory how to implement most strategies.

What kind of returns can most people expect their first year of trading?

And what place do some of the more advanced strategies (Iron butterflies, etc) have? I was told that most of the time the simple spreads and basic calls / puts bring in the most.
