If you can understand the Greeks (Delta, Theta, Gamma, Implied Volatility etc.), mastering options is no problem. Also, because some brokers charge commission high enough that one needs a huge spread or volume to breakeven, even profit.

Also I would not really spend on higher trading volume or you would just turn the options market into a casino. While I have seen people winning huge, there are also traders in options, spend all, lose all. But with the proper risk analysis, research, options should not really be a problem to master. Takes practice for months, even years to master it but not a problem.
