Product description

From the Publisher

EUAN SINCLAIR is an option trader with fifteen years of professional trading experience. He specializes in the design and implementation of quantitative trading strategies. Sinclair is currently a proprietary option trader for Bluefin Trading, where he trades based on quantitative models of his own design. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Bristol. Sinclair is also the author of the Wiley title Volatility Trading.

From the Inside Flap

Successful trading, in general, is difficult and options specifically can be complicated. In most cases, those who do well have an ability to focus on good processes and let the results take care of themselves.

Nobody is more familiar with this situation than professional trader and quantitative analyst Euan Sinclair. In Option Trading, he's broken down the process into the parts you need to thrive an understanding of market structure, knowledge of the instruments you trade, a way to capture an edge, and a methodology for managing risk.

Written with the serious trader in mind, this comprehensive guide opens by exploring options, both historically and conceptually, and then uses the no-arbitrage principle to introduce option pricing examining both static arbitrage relationships and the dynamic hedging approach. With this critical background in hand, the largest and most substantial part of the book addresses how to actually trade options.

Along the way, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of:

The various option strategies that can be implemented, from puts and calls to strangles, straddles, and butterflies
How to measure and forecast realized volatility, the nature and behavior of implied volatility, and what it takes to successfully trade the two
The concept of expected value, the general idea of hedging, and the importance of trade sizing
The strategies behind market making
The essential aspects of risk management in option trading
And much more

Option trading is an important part of the financial landscape. This book will show you how to make the most of these profitable products, no matter what the market does.

Cover every fundamental about option Greeks and where it come from.
Is not directly a set of recipes to deal Option trading. But Option trading is very complex and if you can't ready such a book you better avoid it.
A very good reference book by a guy who know enough the matter to shed light and truths on some myths about Options Trading
The one to read before going on web to complete your training with all recipe like Iron Condor etc ...

One of the best books on Options trading

Reviewed in the United States on 18 January 2011

There are a handful of must-read books on Options trading and this book and the author's earlier book Volatility Trading are 2 must-reads for anyone interested in trading options. The book can be useful for anyone -from the beginner to the professional. While the author has kept the options mathematics to a minimal level, it does require some basic level of comfort with mathematical concepts. Sinclair is clear, concise and very practitioner oriented. It's rare to see a trader write (and write well) a book for traders. I enjoyed the chapters on Pin Risk and Options Market-Making, topics not discussed in many options books.

For Mathematicians

Reviewed in Canada on 12 July 2010

This book deals more with options and how they are priced based on mathematical equations rather than on strategies to take advantage of market situations. The author also covers the history of the option market, the greeks but just misses the meat which I was looking for. Great book for math students. I skipped over most of that part. This was the wrong book for myself but may work better for a class room of students learning the theory. Obviously the writer is highly intelligent, but would make a better reading book if he could relate to a wider population selection.

Another solid title

My friends and I were really surprised reading his first book.. "Hey, wait, this trading book doesn't suck. The author actually has a clue." He repeats here, but at a more accessible level for most people.

If I were running an options desk, this would be the intro course for every new member. Even it's asides on non-options markets are better than almost any other book you'll find.
