The Bible of Options Strategies: The Definitive Guide for Practical Trading Strategies (paperback) Paperback – 7 April 2005

Good product & service.

I am delighted from this purchase. The Book arrived within three of four days and in perfect conditions. Thank you

This is a very clear and easy to understand book about how to trade option spreads for income. True it does not have real life examples of actual trades but it tells you nearly all you need to know to create your own real life examples with a simulated or paper money trading account. This book is a lot better and teaches a lot more than some very expensive internet based options trading courses. After reading it the only options trading course I would pay money for now is one by the author, Guy Cohen. Really. Beware those courses promising huge gains of hundreds of per cent. Many are taught by confidence tricksters who probably know less about options trading than you do, and certainly know a lot less than author Guy Cohen puts into this book

I bought this book for have a more view for options strategies. The book is like an index about 65 strategies, with a clear explanations, and examples, from a bullish through a volatility to a capital gain strat. Very handy when you buy or sell options.

This book is good at introducing you to Option strategies, but beware, you will not gain any insight to making money from the book. The strategies are very basic and there are no results to back them up.

its a good book. Very systematically explained options strategies.A must have for novices indulging in stock trading

Good

Un bon résumé des multiples stratégies. Il faut le voir comme un annuaire, il s'adresse a des lecteurs ayant déjà des connaissances.

Excelente guia para operacoes com opções. Sem dúvida, obrigatório na biblioteca de qualquer trader que objetiva usar opções nas suas operações diárias

This book contains every option strategy you will ever need. While you can choose the specific options to trade based on current market volume and volatility, this book provides the strategies to use. All the basic kinds of options are explained in the book, covered calls and puts, uncovered calls and naked puts. You also can learn about all the different ways to combine them into spreads, butterflies, condors, straddles, strangles, calendars, diagonals, strips, straps, guts, ratio backspreads, spreads, collars, synthetics, combos, and boxes. Did the author miss anything? He also goes into how most strategies can be used from the long side or short side, and which strategy is best for different market environments. The book is set up great for reference purposes. You can find strategies from the categories of income, vertical spreads, volatility, sideways markets, leveraged strategies, and synthetic strategies. You can also look at strategies by proficiency. The book shows which strategies are for novices, intermediates, advanced and experts. The author also explains the risk and rewards of the different strategies whether the risk or reward side is capped or uncapped. While I believe risk is rarely uncapped because you can usually just exit a position that has hit your maximum stop or go to cash if the market becomes to volatile or a crises is starting. The strategies are also divided by the purpose of the strategy, income or capital gain. The back appendix contains a quick reference table on all the option strategies with visual pictures of what they look like. Finally you get a brief explanation on how option gains and losses are taxed at the end of the book. This book should be the first book a new option trader buys after they fully understand the option Greeks, and the basics of options and how they relate to their underlying stock. It is THE book to have in your option trading library for quick reference. You do not need this book if you are completely familiar with all 60 option trading strategies, or if you just simply trade options for capital gains using them in place of stocks. This book is for those who want to profit from the nature of options, their ability to leverage bets in two directions at once, how the time premium deteriorates in the last month to expiration so option sellers profit, or how to create synthetic positions that mimic stocks by selling a put and using that money to buy an option. I found the book incredibly educating and fascinating. I read it from cover to cover. If you read this book you will have a very good understanding of option strategies and how and when to use them.
