  2. Sure. It's like price shopping at the supermkt (if you accept model constraints). Everything reduces to relative value; IV/HV, vertically or on time. It still involves a lot of mining and you need to be a good predictor of something; whether it be the fwd price of spot or vol.

    Strips, term or spot. Choose two of three.

  3. I'll bet your book would outsell most option books until they found out it was really about options trading. Spice it up a bit and you may have a best-seller!

  9. I suggest reading a book about market psychology.
    It's amazing that traders here, and around the world, don't think any differently today, than they did more than a hundred years ago.
    Hence the reason there will always be bubbles.... which most will never see coming, followed by busts, which most will not survive.
    Human nature, (group think), has never changed and it never will.
    A book(s) on market psychology, will offer you a better chance of survival, than any option strategy can.

    Straight after Natenberg i would read Baird, mainly because its very well written and is quite short - it will make you more confident of the principles from Natenberg. Then Cottle, then Sinclair's VT then something much harder.
