Great overview, very clearly written
|
This is an excellent guide to the world of options trading. Provided you are familiar with the very basics of the subject, you should have no problem understanding the content. Everything is explained very clearly in layman's terms, with at least two examples to accompany each major point, and the book is not too mathematical.
Slightly irrelevant today, however, is the material on paper contracts and bid/ask spreads etc. The book is aimed at professional traders but I would guess most readers will be amateurs like me, trading online with play money. I am about to embark on a new trading strategy so if it works, I'll return and give the book a 5* rating!

All you'll ever need to know on Traded Options

This book takes one through the technicalities of how traded options work in detail without the fearsome maths which tends to frighten many people away from such books. (The detailed Maths is in the Appendix.) The book is interesting to read and will be of great benefit both to traders and those who are more interested in the theoretical aspects of options.

Options basics - very readable

I disagree with the reviews that describe this book as complex. This book is very readable and does not use many equations at all. More of an introduction. If you want the more in-depth mathematical stuff you read Hull.

EXCELLENT STUFF!

The chunky green book might seem a bit daunting at first to the options novice, but well worth the read. To really appreciate it, read it cover to cover more than once. Natenberg makes more sense the more you read it. Have a browse at other scary books on options to see what I mean!

A very thorough and completely understandable text.

Obviuosly this book is a must read for anyone serious about trading options. However, Natenberg takes a complex science and explains the underlying fundamentals in a way that anyone can understand. I found this book to be a perfect primer on options pricing, trading and strategies.
