Customer Reviews

Nice to see a book written by a trader

It's always refreshing to find a book written by a trader! Most of us in the industry have too many books authored by academics who have never managed risk for a living. This book would be very helpful for beginners looking to get into trading. It's a nice complement to find a text that can go beyond theoretical pricing mechanics and give you a feel for the market. Nice bite size chapters, good ideas, practical examples.

Very good book

I have worked at futures market for quite a long time, but until recently options remained a very obscure and complex instrument for me. Some time ago I decided to master option market. So I bought several books on the subject, but none of them was as helpful as the one by Simon Vine. The book is clearly written by a practical expert who knows market realities.

Really helpful book.

Exercises is the highlight of the book. It made many points much clearer. Actually I did not find mistakes the previous review mentions. I'd like to see more books from this author.

great book

This is an excellent book on the strategy. Specifically recommended to the young audience who just joined the market
