This book covers some basics but rushes on towards advanced concepts. Though there is some explanation, would be hard for a beginner to understand. As well the way things are put across they are not easy to understand either.

For me this book is too theoretical. No actual example in certain market condition based on the experience of the author. Especially nowdays content in this book can be found easily using AI.

After reading the book I put several options strategies to work with great results. It was the best of the three books I read on options trading. The stragegy table in the back of the book is a great reference when trying to match a stragegy to bullish or bearish sentiment.

Great overview of options trading

one of the Best ive come accross

A comprehensive must read for anyone looking into or currently trading on the options market. I’ll be using this book as a go to reference moving forward.

Solid introduction to options

ISBN-10: 0131871358

I would give it to a retail trader.

A decent, but at times, dull read. Some good info.

Simple enough for the lay person to understand and to digest key concepts quickly. Includes a short section on technical analysis too.

Concepts are written in a simple way. Anybody taking up options trading this book must read.

Personal opinion of someone who has some basic knowledge:
Chapters 1-4: ignore
Chapter 5: Synthehic and covered call strategy - ok
Chapter 6: Greeks. Also implied volatility. Given how detailed was the book before, now with the more complicated stuff it lacks the detail. Was very simple before, now it is way too difficult, because it lacks more real life examples.
Chapters 7-9: Basic strategies. Ok - good thing are the parts saying when to use which and how long time to expiration to set.
Chapters 10-11 ignore
Chapter 12: self promo of author's paid product.

So overall mediocre, gives some basic explanation but imo some parts are too difficult to understand for pure beginners, quite often give references to paid web pages of the author.
Definitely need to buy a book on strategies and implied volatility.
