A must-read for individuals who are options oriented.â --Ralph J. Acampora, CMT, Director of Technical Analysis Studies, New York Institute of Finance âA fantastic, insightful book full of meticulously compiled statistics about anomalies that surround option expiration. Not only does Augen present a set of effective trading strategies to capitalize on these anomalies, he walks through the performance of each across several expirations. His advice is practical and readily applicable: He outlines common pitfalls, gives guidance on timing your executions, and even includes code that can be used to perform the same calculations he does in the text. A thoroughly enjoyable read that will give you a true edge in your option trading.â --Alexis Goldstein, Vice President, Equity Derivatives Business Analyst âMr. Augen makes a careful and systematic study of option prices at expiration. His translation of price behavior into trading strategy is intriguing work, and the level of detail is impressive.â --Dr. Robert Jennings, Professor of Finance, Indiana University Kelly School of Business âThis book fills a gap in the vast amount of literature on derivatives trading and stands out for being extremely well written, clear, concise, and very low on jargon--perfect for traders looking to evolve their equity option strategies.â --Nazzaro Angelini, Principal, Spearpoint Capital âInstead of considering macro-time strategies that take weeks to unfold, Jeff Augen is thinking micro here--hours or days--specifically the days or hours right before expiration, and harnessing grinding, remorseless options decay for profit. He builds a compelling case for the strategy here. The concept of using ratio spreads plus risk management for as brief a period as one day--open to close--to capture expiring premium is worth the price of admission alone. A superb follow-up to his first book. Must-read for the serious options student.â --John A. Sarkett, Option Wizard software Equity and index options expire on the third Friday of each month.

Kinda like going from monthly paydays to weekly. Anyone have a good scanner for options with very large premiums. AAPL & GOOG are my current favorites, but I'd like to screen for others that may have similar premiums. $5 to $10 per share for a week is so very nice. I usually load up on stocks at each dip early in the week and then write calls on the best peaks I can catch. Then I'll sometimes buy them back on dips and write them again if there are a lot of regular swings. Next week, rinse and repeat!
