  2. It's obviously a good book. The question is, if you've already learned that several times when you learned the basics of options, do you need to go into detail on it again?

    It’s the first time I’m actually reading a book about options
     
  4. Go to Tastytrade.com and take their tutorial on options strategies. OPtions Alpha is another good site for learning the various approaches.

    95% of options books are garbage. Here’s the ones that aren’t;

    -Hull (the Bible)
    -Volatility Trading by Euan Sinclair. The only book geared toward the practitioner and not the academic.
    -Option Market Making by Baird
    -Rebonato
    -Haug is good reference

    Hardest part is going from theory to actual trading. Everyone loses their first time.

    It’s akin to playing paintball to prepare for live combat. Everything changes when there’s real bullets whizzing over your head.

    They make an illusion that if u place an iron condor on any stock or a butterflies on any stock u will make money those two option spreads are very very complex
     
  10. Yes, you have to realize that internet traffic is money and they need content to do that. Sadly, the content is mostly fluff.
