The Options Course a great resource If you intend to be a serious trader in the options market, this book is one of the "must reads." It has a basic approach to the subject matter yet delves into complex trading strategies in a way that is understandable to the novice trader. I recommend this book be studied along with "Option Volatility & Pricing" by Sheldon Natenberg. | ||
this is crap this is crap, after reading it you won't understand the first thing about options, some readers wrote or suggested that it is good for begginers, it's lie, get some decent books such as Hull's crap. Hull is considered by the way as an introduction! | ||
Great Book for the Options Novice If you're looking for a great book that teaches the novice trader the basics of trading options, then look no further. This book does the best job yet of thoroughly covering the gritty details. In fact, it spends the first 138 pages of its 300 page length doing just that. I'm not suggesting that a novice can read this book and start expertly trading options. No, this book is a very long way from that. But if you know nothing about the subject then this is one of the best places to start learning. After thoroughly covering what options are, risk profiles, how to spot explosive opportunities, and risk and margin, the author launches into what I found to be the most interesting part of the book; covering the nuts and bolts of delta neutral trading. Understanding the concept of delta is so important to effectively trading options that no trader should make his or her first trade without spending weeks if not months immersed in the subject until it is thoroughly mastered. Finding trades with a favorable delta is frequently the difference between profit and loss. And learning how to effectively trade delta neutral strategies is frequently the difference between staying in the game and washing out. This book is easy to read and understand. While I found it a little short on practical application, it does a superb job of teaching the basics. It's an effective tool for the beginner and it should enjoy many years of frequent use. | ||
The Options Course is worth the read I have looked for a book that teaches basic instruction, and that can be used as a reference in the future -- The Options Course fills the bill. I recommend this book if you are interested in trading Options, if you are already a trader that wants explainations of terms, or are already a trader and are interested in Fontanills' strategies. I read all the reviews and noticed many referencing online websites. Be careful with the motivations of these reviewers. | ||
Why I gave George two stars How accurate is George Fontanill's "proven" system? If you're a gambler buying books and courses and then trading real money, never mind, move on. With luck, you'll be a "happy" testimony. Everybody else, give me a percentage. Every professional trader records every market-transaction for tax purposes. Every successful trader keeps score, for example, with a win:loss ratio. When did George create Optionetics? I'll answer that. In the early 90's, and that's over ten years ago. I gave George only two stars, because in all his talk, he is not being fully responsible. I can know all about spreads, but where's the percentage, after taxes and commissions? That is beginning to change now with "accountability" websites like Collective2 where every system signal is tracked in real-time, so customers know exactly how the system has performed in all types of market conditions. The problem is not just with George. In an apparently loosely regulated industry, so many of these investment gurus make claims without providing factual performance statistics, and to me, it is inexcusable, even criminal. Even if you're going to trade somebody else's system, you still have to use your brain. How accurate is Bernie Schaeffer's stuff? Carleton Sheets? Robert Allen? Robert Kyosaki? Ken Roberts? A few "happy" testimonials means nothing to me, when a hundred other beginners might be getting burned. | ||
