The best advice I can give you. Don't bother, it's not worth the trouble. Long term you will not keep the profits you think you've made. The least risky way of trading is to sell options on the stock you own. The problem is that you might have a few profitable months but just as you want to be sure to keep your stock because it's going up, it get's taken away. Simply because it's going up. Or your stock is collapsing and you want to sell but if you do you have to take an even bigger loss. It's just not worth it. Only the brokerage firms win. Options bring in lots of transaction fees. Run,run away. You'll be happier.
