Retail Options Trading Paperback – October 28, 2024

This is hands down the best introduction to options trading for retail traders. Euan Sinclair and Andrew Mack are the real deal – active traders with actual skin in the game. Sinclair has a ton of experience in both institutional and retail trading, and his previous books on options trading are often cited as some of the best out there. Mack is well-known in the sports betting world and is also an accomplished retail trader. So unlike 99% of the trading books out there, this one is written by people who actually trade for a living and have real, actionable insights to share.The book zooms in on the most important part of trading: finding an edge. It gives a general roadmap for where retail traders can spot market inefficiencies, then dives into specific examples on how to identify these inefficiencies and what kind of option trade setups can exploit them. This is a goldmine for anyone who wants to see what a money-making trading strategy actually looks like. None of the ideas are based on overfitting past data with a mess of indicators – it's all about clear data analysis driven by market microstructure.There's also a solid intro to the basics of options, plus sections on risk management (with tips on position sizing using the Kelly criterion) and trading psychology. These chapters are nice extras, but as the book keeps reminding us, finding an edge is the most important concept in trading. I don’t know any other book written for retail traders that offers such a practical, realistic guide with examples for finding an edge in options trading. Highly recommended for anyone looking to level up their options trading game!

I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I can definitely attest to the benefits of learning from real practitioners rather than academics or dubious 'experts.' I've learned so much from Euan's books, so I was eager to buy this as soon as it became available. I'm sure that even if you're not into options, you'll pick up a thing or two on how to approach the markets.

Getting a book from these two authors on this topic is a rare treat.The book is full of useful information, both theory and examples.If this book was an online course it would probably cost thousands of dollars, so this price is a steal.Just buy it, you wont regret it

The books published by the author have always been excellent, but I feel that this one does not contribute much to the topic of options.

Solid options overview by Euan and Andrew.Mostly tailored towards short term trading (1mo or less). I will say a lot of this content can be found by watching Euan's videos on youtube... With that being said, think this book is likely written mostly by Euan with Andrew contributing the stat analysis portions (guessing)... Thought psychology section was decent as wellMore $ can be made trading delta than vol, imo. But still good info to know

This book teaches you how to fish rather gives you a fish.It is pretty dense, authors give very good mix of theory and practice with actionable advice how to ne profitable.

i've read a few of the classic books on options trading and have found this book to be much more practical. If you are serious about options trading it doesn't get much better.

Nothing new to see here. SUMMARY: Either you warehouse risk or you find an edge (by yourself). And if you find it, don't expect any miracle. You can't sustain yourself by trading. (!!??)Previous books from authors were better and much worth the price. This one should be a free Amazon Prime book.
