Product Description
“Jeff’s analysis is unique, at least among academic derivatives textbooks. I would definitely use this material in my derivatives class, as I believe students would benefit from analyzing the many dimensions of Jeff’s trading strategies.

A well-written book with clear explanations. Not enough to make money on a consistent basis.
Rating: 3 / 5
Way too much time spent on math formula’s; much too little time spent on trading the Greeks. I guess I will have to read it again and get his workbook, but I am interested enough to think about buying his expiry day option trading book. I expected some math, but was disapointed it was not more directed at trading the Greeks. Chp. 8, “Trading the expiry cycle” was probably the most useful info. TOS/Option Planet has a free 8 hour seminar you will learn far more in than this book has to offer.
