Title: Trading Options to win
Review: The book is written in a very informal way which is the style of the author (fine) but the gist of his trading strategy could have been explained much shorter. No graphs. The book could have been reduced to 30 pages max. He lulls the novice into trades which can break your neck. Although the way he thinks (trying to find an edge when setting up a trade) is correct the suggested strategies he likes the most are inherently short volatility and very risky. He also focuses mostly on commodity markets and I believe the edge that he found back then is gone by now. If you are serious about option trading and spreading then the must have books are: Option Market Making (Baird) and Charles Cottles Book "The hidden reality of options trading". Dont buy this book! Those books have been written by battle proven market makers.
