5.0 out of 5 stars The Thinking Person's Way to Trade Options, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Trading Optures and Futions (Hardcover)

Joe Ross has written the best strategy guide for trading options I have ever seen. This book shows you how to blend the best features of option trading together with the best of futures trading. The book is a classic, and with each reading, I gained more and more understanding of how the markets really work, and how to take advantage of combining options and futures.

If you are an option trader, you need the understanding of the underlying futures as presented by Joe. If you are a futures trader, Joe shows you the simple and most straightforward way to bolster your futures trading by adding to it the world of options.

To say that this book is outstanding is to vastly underrate its contents. A bargain at any price and worth far more than its cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than any Futures course being offered today, July 25, 2006

This is the only trading book you need in your library. If I was going to do it all over again as a trader I would buy this book and Mark Douglas' The Disciplined Trader. Better than most of the seminars being touted today and in my opinion better than software that predicts with almost XX% accuracy for 50 times the cost of this book. I have all of Joe Ross's books and this is by far the best one.

This review is from: Trading Optures and Futions (Hardcover)

Joe Ross has created one of the best "real world" trading books that I have ever read. This book is extremely thorough in how it discusses options and futures trading. It explains in detail:

o How to identify a trading opportunity
o When and how to initiate a trade
o How to adjust a position if it gets into trouble

Joe Ross also has some very wise comments about what it takes to be a trader in the market and what you need to be prepared for. The only bad thing about the book is that the cost is awfully high. I was lucky enough to find a very low cost used version.

In any event, if you elect to buy the "full list" version, you will not be disappointed. Good reading and profitable trading.
