Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Jeff's analysis is unique, at least among academic derivatives textbooks. I would definitely use this material in my derivatives class, as I believe students would benefit from analyzing the many dimensions of Jeff's trading strategies. I especially found the material on trading the earnings cycle and discussion of how to insure against price jumps at known events very worthwhile.'


Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding
I really loved this book from its practical approach for trading options.

Written for the intermediate to advanced options trader this books approaches trading from a unique standpoint with lots of useful ways to handle positions.

I hope to see some more works from this author as it is refreshing to see such unique work that can be applied to actual trading.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very equation heavy
This book touts some heavy math and spreadsheet equations that cause your options research to slow to a halt, missing out on many opportunities in the mean time. There are much easier strategies out there that will generate similar returns.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Some Great ideas from this book
Very good book on volatility. The author gives some great ideas about trading volatility.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding book with clear details of how to duplicate his data
This is one of the best books on options in my library! I'm a programmer and found Jeff Augen's descriptions of exactly how he calculated volatility and standard deviations. I duplicated it and compared it to iVolatility's historical data and it was dead on. I had thought of the Price Spike charts before reading this book but the author does a good job of explaining how to use them in your option trading. There are many nuggest you can use as an option trader in this book. I suggest re-reading ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not a gem not really helpful.
Two of methods in this books are unique, but too hard to put to use in consistent basis for serious traders. Save money and buy a book on technical analysis on stocks for options trading.
