Hi @Phyll Pascoe Many brokerage accounts have a simulator or non-funded or paper-trading section of their platform. (all of those names mean the same thing, I just listed them in case it helps you find it in your platform because they can be called different things.)
Going back to that expression of 'paper trading' that comes from the day before software helped to track it. You can literally grab a piece of paper and write it out. Also, here is link to a digital trade ticket in PTU to help you keep your trades organized.
@Christopher 200776 I am glad you see the power in the mindset element of trading. The mechanics of buying to open and selling to close and qualifying options can be taught through guidlines and repetition. However, the mindset challenges will always be evolving. Once you master one element, there is another one to get better at.
Mastering this business takes time and there is no short-cut, we can speed it up, but you have to work on every step along the way. This is the work that many people never put the effort into, I am glad you are following the process. Keep us posted and lean on me and the community with your questions, we will all get better together.
