It's OK

Gives basic details on many option strategies. As an income trader, I often use the covered straddle / strangle technique: both listed in the book as not recommended! Not to argue with the author, since the audience for this book is wide, and therefore one must take a conservative stand. So,...

Nice organization, presentation, and content

I've found this book useful. It is the best book I've seen in regard to providing a complete, consistent, and logically presented overview of option trading strategies. As others and the author note, it's more of a reference book than something you read front to back.PS: The grammatical errors...

Great Book for Options Traders of Any Level

This book explains ~60+ options strategies from simple calls and puts to the complex (e.g. laddered spreads, condors, butterflys). What impressed me the most is he gives risk versus reward information on each strategy and he even recommends never using a few of them as the risk is just too...

Options Reference

This hardcover should not be your first reading about options. It assumes that you are already familiar with options trading, and just want a reference book at hand. For each strategy, e.g. "Short Iron Butterfly", there is a description, context (outlook, rationale, net position, effect of time...

It is what it says it is

I started studying options about 2 months ago and this was one of the first books I purchased and it has barely left my side since.I have been searching the net endlessly for information on options and am still yet to come across an option strategy that is not in this book. It starts with a well...

Outside academia, this is the only option book you'll need

I have several books on options, but this is the one book that I keep on using. Most option books spend too much time on how to price an option. Unless you are active in thinly traded options, the market will dictate the current market price. This book gets right into why you are interested in...

Good Reference Book

This is more a dictionary of options strategies than a regular book. But it organizes and explains each strategy well.
