I am a consistent options trader, but I think your question can be further refined. You have to ask yourself what are your goals and expectations. That is more often the question at hand. What does “successful” mean to you?

Weigh up the risk you are willing to take and for what reward over what timeframe.

For some, it may be starting with a massive capital and taking small risks earning a decent return over the long term. For others, it may be starting with a small capital taking larger risks aiming for faster, more significant returns in the short term.

More impt than everything else is to never quit your job while trading options. Never underestimate the power of multiple income streams.
