i definitely don't think you should play options given what you just posted, unless you're playing on technicals only

I think its ok to jump into any market immediately. you just have to paper trade it and know it well enough that... you know what you're fucking doing.
if you wanna jump into options right away, understand the mechanics behind options and paper trade it to hell and along the way you'll probably learn to do all the other basics. read charts, understand reports and whatever.
99% of options expire worthless, but 99% of people that put money into markets lose money overall. so... lol.

And yes I would be trading based on technicals, thanks for all the feedback, definitely won't be trading weeklies right away lol, I do understand some pretty basic mechanics of options, and I have been consistently doing my technical research, I think the next step for me is to paper trade the shit out of them.
