How can you buy and sell options without money? You could paper trade without money. Once you have an account number. I think you would not have to fund your account for that. I paper traded for about a year with $200,000 play money. Aft3er one year I had $400,000. So I borrowed $65,000 on an interest free credit card for a year. In one year, I lost it all. The ‘trader effect’. There is a lot to learn. It would have been best if I had started paper trading with a realistic amount, I think. OptionsExpress has a nice learning program. Good luck.

Everyone seem to suggest Sharebuilder but it isn’t the top of the line far as analyst tool.

In the UK you can have a credt account for options. This means you put up the margin as and when required. It won’t allow you to write options though. Also we require you have a reasomable income, savings and a knowledge of option trading. Your application is usually accepted or declined on a point scoring basis using the above information. I don’t know about US. I am thinking of IG Index or City Index
