From the Introduction
“Through my experiences with option trading, I have tried almost every strategy I could find. In this book, I will be discussing the strategies that I use the most and feel are the best available. I will take you through a number of actual trades as they occurred and show you what I did right and what I did wrong. I will also show you plenty of theoretical examples of how the strategies work and what factors will influence which strategy is the best for whatever situation the market throws in front of you. In 2007 I was the first place finisher in the Zacks.com 4th Quarter 2007 options trading contest with a return of 212%. It hasn’t always been pretty but I have used both my gains and my losses to learn, both of which I’ll be discussing with you.”

Good information but I can’t seem to see any of the charts. The tables show up fine but the charts appear just as blank areas on the page.
Rating: 2 / 5
I really enjoy going through the math to help me understand the procedure. I am only through 1/3 of the book and I think I have come across one error. Page 41 line 7 should be: $160.00 or 21.3%.
The other authors just cannot understand that a picture is worth a thousand words!

I have found this book very helpful. Some aspects of options trading were confusing, but this book did a good job of teaching the nuts and bolts and the thought processes involved in making successful trades.

One reason that I gave this book 5 stars is because it is full of actual trade data. Burns takes you through his actual trades as they occurred. This is a great way to learn the strategies and I’ve been recommending the book to people I know. The book is geared for beginners but I found just reading his trades to be interesting in their own account.
