Very well written and great structure for learning.
This is a great book for anyone interested in learning the craft of options trading. The author is well practiced at writing instructional manuals and this shows in this book. I'm about 2/3 of the way thru the book and, not having had experience or prior knowledge of options, at this point I feel comfortable with at least "paper trading" options to test my ability - which coincidentally is exactly the point in the book where paper trading exercises begin. I have to say, options are not all that complex from a basic understanding, but the jargon and various mathematical variables that describe the option are very complex and, quite frankly, mastering these things is not for everybody, maybe even not for me. I will see shortly as I attempt to apply my learning in a risk free paper trading environment. My only complaint is that I've found several errors in the material, but they are obvious oversights and do not mislead or take away from the learning experience.

Easy and fun read
I’m not a novice when it comes to trading options, but I’m definitely not a professional either. I’m on the minus side of intermediate. With that being said, this book so far has been phenomenal!It’s not just a bunch of words thrown together or sentences that seem to never end. It’s a very well written book full of knowledge and examples. I enjoy the interactiveness of this book, with website URLs you can visit and mini quizzes at the end of each chapter.This is definitely a book I would highly recommend to anyone that’s either just getting started with options or if you want to expand and build on the knowledge you already have!

The book is good, very extensive, but at the same time very confusing
I like this book. I really want to like this book. It covers a lot. And I have been studying it thoroughly. But the book is constantly confusing, because it uses terms on earlier pages that it doesn't define until later pages. It's as if the writer already assumes you know what he's talking about, before he talks about it. Probably because he is so knowledgeable about the lingo, he doesn't recognize he's is doing it. If you want to confuse someone, try to teach them something using terms they don't understand, terms that you have not yet explained. This book is great at it. For example, on page 179 it gives an example for "How to Short a Stock". It refers to a "protective buy-to-cover market stop order" and a "buy-to-cover limit stop order". But types of orders are not covered or defined until the page 213. It would be one thing if this happened in the book infrequently, but this book does this ALL OVER THE PLACE. So you end up jumping all over the place to try to understand what should be a very simple example. In addition, some information is covered multiple times in the book in multiple places, presumably to try to tie things together. Therefore, it seems so disorganized, and it makes a 700 page book read like 1400 pages (you will need to go over it multiple times anyway, and you probably should not matter what book you have - if you're going to be trading your hard earned money). I have no other options trading book to compare it to. So I can't say if there is better. I do know there is a lot of information for me in this book, it just has not been easy to get thru.

Hard to see the forest for all the trees! No shortage of material. Better as a reference guide.
Love the large print but trying to make out the exhibits is a challenge given the amount of detail and small text. I too found the book lacking the significance of its topical content. I was disappointed the way the Greeks were split in two chapters. Everything was throughly defined but I didn’t get much content on what to look for as preferential for the Greeks to a particular trade or when or how often the elements are reviewed during the trade. I would say the book just by its volume must intimidate a beginner. There is some good content but confusion does often cloud your understanding on an adequate explanation of the total interrelationship or priority of defined elements of a trade. It’s great reference material but I was looking for more direction how to use the material presented.

Poorly Written. Title False.
The author clearly knows his stuff. What he doesn’t know is how to write, or to be more specific, how to proof. Chocked full of errors and gaps in logic, if you can mind numb yourself through it (I couldn’t), you might learn something. However, it clearly is not the last options book you’ll need. That is simply not true.A far better source for learning options trading in my opinion is Bill Poulos, which I found on his Profits Run website but may also be here (haven’t looked). He provides step-by-step action plans along with background knowledge that are clear and concise. He is considered a legend among professional and part time investors alike. After having gone through some of his material, it’s easy to see why.
