From the Inside Flap
Options are a very attractive investment, primarily because of the degree of leverage and enhanced profit potential associated with them. But they can also be very dangerous if you don’t know how to handle elements such as implied volatility, time decay, and out–of–the–money versus in–the–money options.
In The Option Trader’s Guide to Probability, Volatility, and Timing, expert Jay Kaeppel explains these issues and provides you with a working knowledge of various option strategies that are appropriate for any given situation. Whether you’re a new trader or "returnee" to the options market, this book will teach you how to successfully trade options. Kaeppel sets the stage by covering basics such as option definitions and option pricing. He then quickly moves to the heart and soul of this unique investment vehicle by analyzing both the risk and profit potential of various trading strategies. Kaeppel further sets his approach apart by providing his unique perspective on risk curves a revolutionary new trading tool to maximize the tradeoff between reward and risk on each and every trade.
This comprehensive guide explains the different strategies available as well as when to use each of them. Strategies include guidelines for determining when to buy undervalued options and when to sell overvalued ones. You’ll also learn how to accurately assess volatility and profit from disparities in implied volatilities of different options. To help you safeguard your money, you’ll discover valuable strategies that will teach you when to take a profit and when to cut your losses.
Options are different in many ways from other forms of investment. To profit from them, you must have a firm understanding of what they are, how they work, and how they must be traded. The Option Trader’s Guide to Probability, Volatility, and Timing addresses these topics, and many more, to give you a well–rounded overview of this investment vehicle. Filled with practical advice from an expert in the field and real–world strategies that have stood the test of the options market, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to trade options intelligently and confidently.
If you’re serious about trading options, read The Option Trader’s Guide to Probability, Volatility, and Timing and learn how to achieve consistent profits in one of the most lucrative markets in the world.

Good Basic Primer
17 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author states that he wrote the book for those who are new to options or who have not been successful trading them. Within that context, the book is a pretty good primer.
While the book has some good insights, it is limited in scope and depth.

Just what it should be
10 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
Straight to and through the basics. I am a rookie option trader. This book spoke to me. I have already saved more than the price of the book, using the information in it. Some of the charts though, did not speak to me. I still don't know what a standard deviation is.
