Disappointing,
This book does a good job in laying out the facts about all of the various spreads available. However, I found it low on insight and strategy. There are simply better books out there.
I would expect someone who was going to write a book on options (an expert) to offer more insight and strategy. The title of the book seems to indicate that this is what the book provides, but I am finding it useful as only a reference guide. How the aspects of each type of spread is disseminated through the individual chapters was also a bit irritating, in that it seemed repetitive and divided into sections that gave partial information without a complete correlation of ideas.
This book is written in a style that most intermediate to advanced traders will understand, and probably beginners want to avoid. But at the same time, those with a better understanding need a more insightful author, such as Lawrence McMillan’s Options as a Strategic Investment. Also a good book which summarizes most all of the option strategies is Guy Cohen’s Bible of Option Strategies, which is a similar book to this but in a better format. I am not saying to not buy this book, because I find you have to have several books on options trading and cross reference the information in each one. Add this book to your collection, and use it as a reference guide.

|Option Trading for Traders,
I have traded options on stocks for over 14 years. Over that time I have bought many books on options and their trading.
This is the first book I have found that focuses on option trading for traders. The book presumes the reader is familiar with options and trading options. The book concentrates on being a guide to the multiples strategies which can be used in trading options.
Most books on trading options seem merely to layout a specific trading scheme, such as an iron butterfly spread. This book provides insight into the situation where a trading strategy is appropriate. This also provides the perceptive reader insight into when a strategy is inappropriate.
