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.

A well-written book with clear explanations. Not enough to make money on a consistent basis.

Two of methods in this books are unique, but too hard to put to use in consistent basis for serious traders. Save money and buy a book on technical analysis on stocks for options trading.

This book touts some heavy math and spreadsheet equations that cause your options research to slow to a halt, missing out on many opportunities in the mean time. There are much easier strategies out there that will generate similar returns.
