All trading carries a risk. The idea is to minimise the risk and maximise the profit.

You learn to look for certain indicators as part of your trading plan and make sure that you can tick these off before you put a trade on.

You’re right; stock options do seem risky. I don’t think this is a strategy for me straight up. I think you’d have to be pretty good at knowing what the market was going to do.

Obviously there are things you can do that will give you an indication of which way a certain stock is going to go. But, nothing is for certain.
