Hello

I started learning to trade options a few months ago.
Due to an overwhelming schedule, I’m still on my first few paper trades.

I know the basics about how things work,
I use basic methods of trend analysis (Elliot wave, moving averages) and I know in theory how to implement most strategies.

What kind of returns can most people expect their first year of trading?

And what place do some of the more advanced strategies (Iron butterflies, etc) have? I was told that most of the time the simple spreads and basic calls / puts bring in the most.

Do you have some advice about day trading with options?
Holding options for some hours -not minutes-, say, buying in the morning and selling before the close.

How much the volatility varies during a typical day?

Already have some experience swing trading index-ETFs stocks and options.
