Ajfrod, I would say, it is okay to start trading in options for you.
However, as a starter, try to follow some of the following principles:
(1) Trade with only 1 lot of Nifty or mini-nifty. With mini-Nifty, I usually find low volumes of contracts traded making me feel uncomfortable trading in mini-Nifty.
(2) As a starter, go only for "BUYING" CALL and PUT options instead of "SELLING" them. Selling Options requires margin and is bound to additional risk as well.
(3) Read about Option strategies (Strangle, Straddle, ...) and implement them to minimize the risk.
Note: Above all are my personal views and may entitle to be wrong. Experts, please correct, if you feel otherwise.
