Why Day Trade Options
Day trading stocks have a high barrier for entry because of capital
requirements. You may or may not already be in a position to do it, but if
you're not trading options provide a low barrier to entry alternative. There
are several reasons to trade options rather than stocks. To begin with,
trading options don't require hardly any money at all (in comparison) and it
will allow you to gain experience looking at many of the same underlying
fundamentals that day trading stocks require – since they are ultimately
based on the same market.
Options can be cheap. You can trade options at a much
lower premium price as compared to the price required to
buy stocks. 
Options offer huge upside potential. The percentage gains
in options can be orders of magnitude larger than gains in
stocks. So, you can invest a smaller amount of money, and
reap larger gains on a percentage basis. 
You don’t have to exercise the option to profit from it. 
Volatility makes trading stocks risky; it can make trading
options profitable. 
The low price required to invest in options contracts means
that you can often put together a diverse portfolio, even
when making short term trades.
It may be harder to get competitive spreads with options
while day trading. 
There are some downsides to day trading options. One important factor is
that when day trading options, time value may limit short term changes in
price. Options are also less liquid than the underlying stocks, so that can

mean wider bid-ask spreads. Trading options will require you to get the
same basic knowledge of day trading that we covered when discussing
stocks. Ultimately, the value of the option is determined by the value of the
underlying asset – the stock price.
