Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - True To its Objective
This book presents the basic option strategies in a concise, clear and easy to understand format for a beginner.

This is a book that describes option strategies suitable for beginner to intermediate level traders.It introduces the reader to the different basic option instruments in a textbook like format.This is helpful in that each strategy is summarized in table form with different variables listed (greeks, etc).Although the author does include a chapter on fundamental and another on technical analysis , what the book leaves out is how to trade the different strategies presented in real market situations using ...
