4.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Organized and Practical Guide to Options Trading

C. · February 10, 2025

For anyone looking to get started in options trading, "Options Trading [All-in-1]" is an immensely practical checklist that provides a clear, structured approach to understanding and executing option trades. It covers "34 techniques, tactics, and strategies", making it a great resource for beginners who want to build a strong foundation while also gaining insight into the nuances of risk management and market analysis.One of the book’s greatest strengths is its logical organization and sequencing. It begins with fundamental concepts, ensuring that newcomers grasp the basics before diving into more advanced topics. The step-by-step progression makes it easy to follow, even for those with no prior experience in options trading. The book also includes essential discussions on regulatory issues and personal risk assessment, which are critical for any trader looking to protect their investments and make informed decisions.A unique and thoughtful addition to the book is the commentary on work-life balance. Trading—especially options trading—can be time-consuming and mentally demanding, so I appreciated the author’s insights on maintaining a sustainable approach. This emphasis on balance is a refreshing perspective in a field where the focus is often solely on profit and strategy.Another great feature is the bonus content offered by the author—five additional PDF documents that provide further resources. However, these materials are only available upon writing a book review, which may not appeal to all readers, and makes it impossible for me to comment on its worth.My only real disappointment with the book is the lack of graphs and visual aids, particularly for topics like technical analysis. Given the complexity of options trading, well-placed charts and illustrations could have greatly enhanced the learning experience. Concepts like option spreads, Greeks, and market trends would have been easier to grasp with more visual representation.Overall, Options Trading [All-in-1] is a well-structured and informative resource that provides a comprehensive introduction to options trading. Despite the minor drawback of missing graphs, it remains a valuable first step for anyone looking to navigate the world of options trading with confidence.

Great

5.0 out of 5 stars This was an excellent read

C.H. · March 22, 2024

This book was well written. The author did a great job researching the stock market, and explaining it. It was a very good read, and explained it to some who aren't real familiar with the stock market. This gave me a new perspective of how it works. I am so grateful for this read.I didn't understand a lot about it, but I do understand more now. The author clearly wrote about the difference between the stock market stocks with and without the dividends. Now it makes more sense to me. I have some with dividends that I didn't understand before but do now.I hope to read more from the author, and get a clearer understanding if they write more about the stock market, I definitely will give this a 5-star rating. This was an excellent read, and would share this with anyone else who is interested in it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for learning to trade options

B. · August 21, 2025

Pros: Good overview of trading psychology and discipline and general financial market operationCons: Not enough info about options trading - there are no actual or even hypothetical examples and really some of the options strategies are missing detail about how they work. Also the writing style is odd - maybe indicating too much AI writing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Are you willing to learn …

This well written book is an overview of the techniques and psychological requirements for options trading. It does not cover the math and the probability theories behind the trades but it is very good in describing the requirements and professionalism needed to be successful.

I have a much better grasp of options trading thanks to this book

Y. · October 25, 2024

As my headline suggests, this book provided me with a much better understanding of options trading. It's been years since I was in business school, and I remember learning about all this stuff years ago (I won't say how long ago...but it was a while) and the knowledge I once had has receded to the back of my brain -- until now. What struck me the most was the substantive nature of this book. Yes, it's suited for beginners (though I do think readers with a little knowledge will find the book easier to digest) yet it's not overwhelming. I found the content on trading psychology and discipline, unethical practices in options trading, and the book's emphasis on health and well-being to be particularly compelling. (At first I didn't understand the inclusion of health & wellness in this book, but it makes sense when you read it as the author rightly points out that it's easy to "get into it" and lose sight of what matters - like eating right, exercising, spending time with family, living a balanced lifestyle...). The regulatory frameworks section was also interesting. While that piece might not be of interest to everyone, I am currently doing some work in the regulatory space, so it's quite relevant to me. Finally, I absolutely LOVED the options trading techniques throughout the book, and the recap towards the end. As I was reading I thought that case studies and other examples would be good to have in the book and then bam - I realized the author provided exactly that in digitally linked content. Great read, highly recommend.

Inspiring concepts!

I can’t recommend this one enough! The hands-on approach and realistic examples have made learning options trading enjoyable and practical. The regulatory insights keep me informed about the legal side, which is crucial. This book has inspired me to dive deeper into trading and set objective, achievable goals.
