Trading options is very simple to do. All trading is simple because it is just a matter of buying or selling.
If you sell higher than you buy, you have a profit. If you buy higher than you sell, you have a loss.
You do not have to buy first to sell, you could sell first then buy.
Trading in options or in anything for that matter is simple, always have been and always will be.
Understanding options is a different thing entirely because options are 3 dimensional because of time factor so it's value is not static and very much dynamic so the calculation of it's intrinsic and extrinsic values to make up it's true value is often too much for most people.
