I personally use thinkorswim trading platform. Their trading software is made specifically for options – and they are a very nice group of people who like to help people. You can call anytime and they answer questions. They have a paper trading account for options – you would have to open an account online, but you don’t have to fund it right away. Once you get the account open, you can paper trade every day as if you were using real money. Then when you are ready you can fund the account at that time. This is very advisable for trading options. I don’t know where you live but they have many free option trading courses – because they want you to learn and use their software (which is free as long as you have an account with them). Some of the courses are the same as others out there that are charging lots of money for.

I would think this paper trading platform for options would be what you need.

That would be like trying to build the Brooklyn Bridge after reading a few Architecture Books.
