Your Options Handbook: The Practical Reference and Strategy Guide to Trading Options
by Jared Levy
Wiley (April 2011)
From the publisher: Before you trade derivatives, you need to know where they derive their prices from. In Your Options Handbook, you will learn the mechanics of the market and how to profit from trading options. The book is a straightforward and practical explanation of the options market and its origins. Author Jared Levy discusses the functions of the exchanges and how they work. Using plain language and simple analogies, he walks the reader through the market- the players and pricing. After delving into the basics, Levy provides you with the strategies and analysis to take advantage of the market.
Your Options Handbook also provides trading strategies based on your trading opinions and types- from neutral to bullish or bearish. You choose what bet you want to make based upon the facts presented and the opinion you have moving forward. Each Strategy will have its characteristics listed at the beginning of its section and several specific variations of parameters depending on what the viewers' opinion is not only about the stock, but about other factors, including risk, the overall market and volatility.
Also available: Your Options Handbook: The Practical Reference and Strategy Guide to Trading Options (Kindle edition). Learn more about the Amazon Kindle, a wireless reading device.
