I've had the best luck with Robinhood watchlists. Basically, for any option trade you would make, instead of actually purchasing it, just put it on the watchlist. Then you can watch it go to zero and not actually lose your investment.
Trading costs are high with options since they are not buy-and-hold investments. Retail investors should generally avoid them. Options market makers such as Citadel and Susquehanna are quite profitable. Their profits are retail investors losses.
