Bother as you'd like.

>How much money do I need to start trading options?
Completely depends on your trading style, so please paper trade and test your methodology, or just copy an already successful methodology. However $5000-$10,000 would be a fair estimate with position sizes for spreads being 2-3% of your total account. Never blow up your account, this isn't gambling, it's using probability to your advantage and positioning yourself around the market for better odds.

>What platform can I use if I'm not in the US?
AHHHH I don't know I'm sorry you'd have to find that out for yourself I do apologize, I've had this asked before and honestly it's something I'll have to look into but it shouldn't be to difficult with a few google searches (then again I haven't tried so...)

>Throw me a few retardproof resources where I can start learning and go on from there
Investopedia is an amazing website for all your niche questions.

You're lucky since nowadays youtube covers pretty much everything you could want to know with detailed videos, I'd recommend you check out "ProjectOption" and "OptionAlpha", as well as "SkyViewTrading" which visually in detail shows how option contracts work. (Visualization always help no?) Though the first two channels answer a bulk of questions you will have.

Options Greeks are values that are associated with an options contracts and are also dictated by the markets changes in the contracts. In other words, measurements of risk associated in the contract. (Even more information is always helpful!)

Hope this helped friend.
