[Yates Buckley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A slightly dated detailed look at the world of financial options from a trader, insider perspective. The book is similar to others in this category but by far the most realistic and concerned about misuse of the tools.

The list of strategies is not complete but the ones that are coveted are looked at in great detail. Also some of the side stories give real insight to what can go right or wrong.

[Emmanuel Vijay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very well written

Easy to understand. Author clearly explains basic strategies however not much explanation regarding option adjustments when you are in the wrong side which I feel necessary but still a good recommended read for options beginners.

[Daniel Davis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent intro to options trading, despite the typos and repetition.

[Michael Hartnett · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are more thorough books out there. For instance George Fontanills's books.

[Ferhat Culfaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good ideas and trading practise for options.

good beginner trader's book. But sometimes the author tended to get too basic. I think the first 3 chapters were completely unnecessary...
