Option Trading: Pricing and Volatility Strategies and Techniques (Wiley Trading)

Excellent. Advanced beginner. I’ve read all his books. Read this one first.

There are a handful of must-read books on Options trading and this book and the author's earlier book Volatility Trading are 2 must-reads for anyone interested in trading options. The book can be useful for anyone -from the beginner to the professional. While the author has kept the options mathematics to a minimal level, it does require some basic level of comfort with mathematical concepts. Sinclair is clear, concise and very practitioner oriented. It's rare to see a trader write (and write well) a book for traders. I enjoyed the chapters on Pin Risk and Options Market-Making, topics not discussed in many options books.

My brother said he thought it was great

In-depth technical analysis of options trading, algebra equations included

My friends and I were really surprised reading his first book.. "Hey, wait, this trading book doesn't suck. The author actually has a clue." He repeats here, but at a more accessible level for most people. If I were running an options desk, this would be the intro course for every new member. Even it's asides on non-options markets are better than almost any other book you'll find.

Beats the learned treatise among the crowd of professional options traders, Natenberg's 'Options Volatility and Pricing', and establishes a new precedent for the definitive text on professional options pricing and trading. A must-read for all options traders, new and old.

I would like to say i knew the bare basics of options until i read this book. When I say read I mean i pretty much read it five times, took more notes and obsessed over it and still havent drained it for every ounce. It is not for the lazy studier. You truely have to apply your self and read it like you are learning open heart surgery. Attention to detail is required but it is one of the best out there. It is one that ill read hundreds of times I am very excited to read his other ones once this is master

This book has been a great read. I truly think that this book is a replacement for any of the outdated "option trading" books (like Natenberg). The author discusses and clarifies many topics from option risks all the way to dealing with expiration problems. I highly recommend this book to all students who have completed their degrees in financial mathematics or finanical engeering. Whether you are fresh out of school or a junior quant (or an experienced quant), this is a fun and very useful book to read. The only downside of this book is that it has very few errors. They are very minor that any reader with common sense can catch. But without a doubt, this is a five-star book.

great book! Very informative!

Cover every fundamental about option Greeks and where it come from. Is not directly a set of recipes to deal Option trading. But Option trading is very complex and if you can't ready such a book you better avoid it. A very good reference book by a guy who know enough the matter to shed light and truths on some myths about Options Trading The one to read before going on web to complete your training with all recipe like Iron Condor etc ...

This book deals more with options and how they are priced based on mathematical equations rather than on strategies to take advantage of market situations. The author also covers the history of the option market, the greeks but just misses the meat which I was looking for. Great book for math students. I skipped over most of that part. This was the wrong book for myself but may work better for a class room of students learning the theory. Obviously the writer is highly intelligent, but would make a better reading book if he could relate to a wider population selection.
