Part 5: Get Your Account Ready to Trade

In Part 4, I showed you why the only way to cash in on any market condition is to flip stocks – never buy them.

And now, I’m going to make sure you’ve got your account ready to trade – and collect profits – in two simple steps.

First things first…

If you’ve got a retirement account, such as an IRA or a 401(k), you can actually trade options in it. In fact, all you need to do is contact your broker to get it converted for options trading. Then, you’re ready to move on to the next step: getting your options clearance.

But if you don’t have an existing account or would prefer using a separate account for options trading, these are the two steps you need to take:

Step 1: Choose Your Broker 

Step 2: Get Your Options Clearance  

The entire process takes up to two days to complete, so you’ll want to get started as soon as possible. In this short guide, I show you how to secure your options clearance in just five quick steps. 

And one more thing…

Nowadays, you’ve got a crucial advantage veteran options like me never had when starting out – the opportunity to paper trade.

Paper trading – also called virtual trading – doesn’t involve real money, and it’s the single the best way to get familiar with options trading and placing orders before you start using real money.

After all, there’s nothing like putting an order in backward to kill your ego (my very first trading mistake) – so make sure you’re taking advantage of this awesome tool.

Next, in Part 6, I’m going to walk you through a “trading” checklist to make sure you’re all set to start taking profits.
