The author used a very simple language to reach the point of leveling the field for any new comer to stock market and options trading.
Started with simple ideas about stock price movement, then the technical analysis used to anticipate the price movement. Then, explained the strategy used to generate money (entry points, expected profit, expiration date, dealing with loss). Once the reader finishes reading these chapters then will be ready to understand the strategy used with real examples.
I started trading options starting Jan 2021 (almost 7 months till this moment), and with my technical analysis I was able to grow 8k to 29k in less than a month (I was lucky to catch AMC at 13.6 before going to 70, and BIIB at 404 before falling to 320). Yet, that method requires lots of researching, reading news, and analysis .
In this book, I found one way that requires less efforts, reduces risk, and offers 100% reward (1:1 ratio). A steady routine. A simple formula that can generate money based on simple math (specifically using the standard deviation principle and probabilities). This book offers one way that has been tested for over 10 years, and I really appreciate the author for sharing it with everyone in a very easy to understand way, and will use it as one weapon in my trading arsenal.

This book gave great strategies but I feel it lacked more depth into the main focus of the strategy. Overall a good book to scratch the surface of what you can do.

Pretty simple strategy
So this is really how simple options trading can be. Most people shy away from options because they read very complicated books and think they need to know everything about everything. Not true. I recommend people that are not successful with options trading to read this book and apply the strategy. Just look at some parameters, check the charts and put on a trade. If it doesn't work, exit. If it works, hold. At worst you will lose a little money. However, if it works out for you, you can have a steady income for life! The risk reward ratio cannot get any better than that! Also, the author debunks a myth that only option sellers make money. Remember, every put that closes out of money, there is a same strike call that closes in the money.

The key takeaways for me were:
1) Only put 30% of your capital to work at all times. Keep the rest in cash.
2) Consistently trade credit/debit spreads with the losses capped at 50% and a target gain of 100% per trade.
Furthermore, I really liked the simplicity of the author's strategy for finding the right opportunities. The author uses layman terms to explain the strategy and despite being unfamiliar with the ADX line indicator, I was able to follow along. That said, a certain level of familiarity with options is necessary to appreciate and follow some discussions in the book.
I would have appreciated more examples of managing trades that did not work. For example, the author mentioned some trades that did not work during September 2020, but he used the spare cash to initiate new positions which offset the losses incurred on the open positions. This section was interesting and I wish it had more details about how the new positions offset the losses.

Author mainly focuses on three things
1) Learn about options, specially beta, theta and IV before making any trade.
2) Use Technical indicators for increasing your chances of success. He mainly talked about Bollinger, keltner, ADX, RSI. You can use any indicators you are comfortable with.
3) using options strategy to cap the losses. Mainly debit and credit spread.
This book is good for beginners. I also checked the author website. He publishes his trades for learning purpose. You can get most out of this book if you follow his trades and try to follow whatever strategy he has discussed in this book.

The book was really good and it sparked a lot of interest in other thing in me I want to study now. I enjoyed the end of the book the most as it gave real life examples and explanations on how to use the strategy described in the early parts of the book.
If you are not very experienced in the trading and indicators the beginning of the book is great to read. As I knew majority of it already I was pretty much skipping those parts. The real meat comes at the last two chapters and I decided to give it a try and find a suitable signal system which would work for me and be easy to understand and implement. This book could be a good start point.

Short and to the point. It gives a good initiation to option-picking logic with some practical examples. Also, the explanations behind credit and debit spreads are good. Recommended for people who already have a basic understanding of options and want to go beyond naked calls and puts. The only thing you might want to consider is that the examples are in a US context and so, the way in which they are exercised would not be directly relevant to those trading in the Indian options (which are Europen in nature).

Like the Strategy
What I like most about this book compared to others I have read is it’s straight to the point and no fluff. I like the real world examples with distinct details of the strategies. I have been attempting swing trading stocks with my small account and have been flat for months. I will try these techniques and will report the results. The only reason I didn’t give a five star is because I have not experienced the results. I will updated after results.

Very informative and straight to the point
I enjoyed this book. He went straight to the point and very little fluff. He gave a good explanation of the technical indicators that he uses. It changed my viewpoint on how I looked at stocks. I already had a system in place that I learned from another trader, and now, with his system added, I know I will make even better trades. Also, yes, he does explain his strategy in this book.

Great read for the beginning trader
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a decent grasp on basic options trading and is looking to develop strategies and implement them in their own investing. Very easy to read and easy to understand. Also, unlike many “how to trade options” books, this is not in the slightest a sales pitch. Would highly recommend

Short and sweet little book. You can complete it all in one sitting.
Cons: Lots on emphasis on indicators, Nishant relies heavily on them. Reading plain market action is overlooked for the sake of how multiple lines interact with each other.
The title is exaggerated. You may take a thing or two from this book but the journey to success is long and you probably won't see dramatic change right after you read it.
Pros: A fellow retail trader took the time to write a book and share his insights on trading - If you like trading, reading this cannot be a waste of time.
Easy to identify with. The experience of having high hopes followed by great disappointment.
If you're an experienced options trader - The author tells you what part you can skip.

Simple and smooth
I’ve been reading a lot about options and even paid for mentor ship. However I started this book at 2am and finish at 530a. Even stopping to paper trade and understand. This book was worth its weight in gold.

I'd say the book is basic and straightforward. It doesn't claim too much, like getting a rich in a week. The other offers a solid little strategy that can be used in up and down markets
