Option Gamma Trading (Volcube Advanced Options Trading Guides Book 1) Kindle Edition

Vol 1 : Option Gamma TradingVol 2 : Option Volatility Trading : Strategies and RiskVol 3 : Option Market Making : Part 1 : An IntroductionVol 4 : Trading Implied Volatility : An Introduction"Professionals do not generally have more knowledge, more skill, or more psychological mastery. They make money because they are playing a totally different game."The author* of the quote was referring to the reason why, while so many try, so few retail traders are successful at the business of trading, and more specifically at the business of trading options. As it happens, this is not a quote from any of Simon Gleadall’s fine ebooks, but it should tell you exactly why you would want to read each of them.There's a very long list of books available that purport to instruct the retail trader on how to construct and trade most of the widely known options strategies, but there are only a select few that actually dig deeper, into the real meat of how options trading works, and, by extension, how it is that professional options traders are playing such a totally different game from the majority of retail traders.The Volcube Advanced Options Trading Guides are among those few books, and will prove to be a wise purchase for the trader who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics and business of how options are traded in and of themselves, as opposed to as adjuncts to separately developed directional forecasts for the underlying. Each provides a concise discussion on the theory and practice of a different aspect of the professional trading game.The books stand very well on their own, but also make reference to the Volcube website and training simulator which is the primary business of the author/publisher. The simulator is geared mostly towards the prospective professional market-maker, but there are also useful resources and reading recommendations to be found there for the interested retail trader.I’ve found each of these books to be well worth the price and hopefully there will be further volumes in the series to come.* This quote comes from the author of two other of the very few truly useful books on options theory and trading that I’ve come across. I reference it here as I recently discovered that the author of those books has also provided a testimonial regarding Volcube's materials.

Author is has a knack for explaining difficult concepts with ease. Good information packed into a few hour read. W

With the increased popularity in weekly options, it's imperative that traders fully understand the Option Greek Gamma, how to trade it and how to hedge it. This book was written by a seasoned market professional who knows the subject matter inside and out. The book covers basic definitions, easy to understand formula's for traders, there are even questions (and answers) at the end of each section to help strengthen your knowledge.My only reservation about the book is that it's a quick read. I would have liked to seen more examples. However, the material presented is excellent, not only for a beginner but also for intermediate and some advanced traders. If you are trading short-dated or near term options this book is a must read. Hopefully the author continues this series, as I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.

Having trained myself studying Sinclair/Baird/Natenberg/Hull/Taleb/etc., I was curious if there was anything new to learn from this text. I am happy to report that this book contains very valuable information that I was previously unaware of. This book impacted my trading immediately. The skills you learn here on how to trade and manage gamma are essential to a volatility trader's success and should help to ensure you have a long trading career. This is the first book in an ongoing series by the author, and I already have his two others. Highly recommended for those who trade for a living.

This book changed my view about the under $10 and below 100 pages kindle edition series. It reminds me of the proverb "You can find in a river what you cannot find in an ocean." I found the coverage detailed and the author very knowledgeable. No fluff, just to the point. Perfect, really. I also loved the author's other book on volatility trading. Really good work and looking forward for more.

Very good introduction in a such an important topic,Hope for an expanded version in the future. too bad very few people touch such an important topic of options trading.

I was interested in finding out more about gamma trading and after reading this I feel I have a really clear understanding. Well worth the money.

Good concise explanation of Gamma trading.
