Trading Resources

I am in no way an expert in the stock market or trading options, but I have learned a lot and if you would like to start trading I have a lot of information on where to start. There are basically three main areas to learn. You can take it step by step, or you can kind of learn them simultaneously.

Step 1: basics of trading/ setting up your platform

I use TD Ameritrade's Think or Swim platform. Not the best but a good/easy one to start with. Click on the image below for more info and to download.

The following videos are useful in setting up and learning how to use Think or Swim (TOS)

Aristotle

An amazing resource for your trading options journey is Aristotle. He has a book you can buy, as well as has a course you can take for like $320, but it is also worth it! And he also has a group on discord that actually trades together that you can join for a monthly fee. It's really helpful for when you are just beginning and nervous about knowing when to jump in and out of a trade.
