Today I will go over a sad story about a young man who took his life because of a misunderstanding about options trading in his Robin Hood trading app or brokerage account.

I will talk about my experience as a futures and options broker in the City of London and why it is so important that people learn about trading and especially about trading with leverage or with derivatives.

I was wondering what happened there when I heard of the story the other day. How could he have been so far under without margin? I have traded options with money that I was comfortable losing and yes it is complicated. A big factor in the loses is the decay feature in out of money setups. Anyway thanks for the great explanation on what you think happened in that particular case.
