Cool! Here's some guide lines for you, try and buy 3 months out, so today I like Nov options
Here is a good scale to limit risk and keep you from getting too crazy
Stocks trading $10-20 buy 20-30 options for .25-.50 risk is $500-1500
Stocks trading $21-50 buy 10-20 options for .50-1.00 risk is $500-2000
Stocks trading $51-100 buy 5-10 options for 1.00-2.00 risk is $500-2000
Stocks trading $101-200 buy 2-5 options for 2.00-5.00 risk is $400-2500
Stocks trading $201-500 buy 1-2 options for 5.00-10.00 risk is $500-2000
Stocks trading $501-1000 buy 1 option for 10.00-15.00 risk is $1000-1500
Only buy reasonably priced options, only risk about $1000 for a full position and buy in stages($500 is half position, $1000 is full position, and $2000 is double position)
