Options trading vs. Stock trading - which provides least risk?

ChgoLake asked:


What is the procedure for options and stock trading via E-trade or other day trading software. How much money is required to open an account. Is this risky? How does it compare with futures trading. Thank you for your help.

    1) Visit etrade.com for more detailed information
    2) Yes, it is very risky.
    3) In stock trading you only lose what you want to lose and not one penny more. For example you can define a maximun limit of 20% and when your stock is down by 20% the computer software sells your stock and you only end that amount. In future trading you can lose everything. This does not considers margin accounts where you are trading on credit.
