Yes, I believe if you get a program that makes graphs or you just take
the investors business daily and graph the prices you will get a feel
for how they work. I don't believe in spreads so much, but you must
learn how to do the basic bull and bear spreads in and out of the
money. Then you must learn the strangle and straddle, both long and
short. You have to get a feel for delta and time value wastage. The
books can give you the basic strategies.
