Book Description

October 22, 2009

As an active trader in today’s market, you are faced with unprecedented challenges. Dramatic price swings in equity, debt, and currency have made it tougher than ever to manage and trade risk. But with great risk, of course, comes great opportunity— and Advanced Options Trading delivers a detailed system for successfully trading options in a highly volatile and unpredictable global market.

Noted options educator and owner of his own brokerage house, Kevin M. Kraus explains the best practices for using options to capture premium, reduce equity purchase prices, manage the costs of buying options, and control portfolio risk—critical skills for finding steady profits in our ever-shifting economic landscape. He offers a close examination of the nature of volatility and what it means for investors, whether they’re just getting started or are veterans of the options market.

Advanced Options Trading covers:

  • The critical nature of forward-looking implied volatility
  • Ways to level the volatility playing field with options
  • Techniques for adding value to a portfolio while managing risk
  • The functions of price hedging— and how to do it effectively
  • Interest rate options and which factors drive debt markets
  • Options analysis techniques

Options are among the most valuable tools for hedging and risk management, and they also function as profitable investment vehicles, allowing you to make bearish trades through radical market shifts.

Advanced Options Trading provides a solid foundation on the options market, along with the necessary skills for trading and managing risk in today’s constantly expanding and contracting market.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wrong charts. Wrong math. Don't buy!, December 30, 2011
By 
A. Dang "azidea" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Advanced Options Trading: Approaches, Tools, and Techniques for Professionals Traders (Hardcover)
I've been learning options trading for a while now from online resources, mentors, seminars, etc. While I'm familiar with a lot of these strategies already, I was hoping for additional insight and analysis so I thought what better way to find deeper analysis than to pickup a wordy book on the topic. It turns out this book doesn't analyze all that deeply and is unnecessarily wordy. The author uses sentences to describe things that could be simply displayed in a table or listed as bullet points. For example, if you want to know if a strategy is bearish or bullish or neutral, you might have to read more than one page into the analysis if it bothers to tell you at all and also the formulation of the strategies like what to buy/sell is not listed out but instead described in a lengthy paragraph. To top it all off, the math is incorrect in many places and a lot of items end up backwards such as the delta on the greeks being positive rather than negative. It's actually kinda important! Even simple math which they spell out manage to be botched such as this example: 36.00 - 32.00 = 3.00. 3.00!? Really?!

Don't trust this book!! It's going to confuse the heck out of you.
