Options are the fastest growing trading venue offered today. Option trading volume grew 22% in 2018 alone-faster than any other trading venue. Why? Because traders are learning how options are statistically predictable and orderly. And they provide extensive financial leverage and strategic flexibility. When compared to buying and selling stock, futures, or foreign exchange currency pairs, it's not even a contest! For just a few hundred dollars, an option trader can control tens of thousands of dollars' worth of stock, ETF shares, a financial index, or futures contracts. And options offer dozens of trading strategies designed to exploit current market conditions. This book contains 78 option trading strategies, which provides readers with an option toolbox that fits every market condition, i.e., bullish, neutral, or bearish. No other financial instrument offers this flexibility and no other trading venue can provide the same steady financial return week in and week out.

Buying and selling options is the fastest growing investment strategy when compared with other trading venues such as buying and selling stocks, futures, and foreign exchange currencies. Millions of investors who understand the financial leverage offered by options are earning impressive, steady incomes by buying and selling call and put options. The successful investors learn how options work. They develop watch lists of trade candidates and study price charts to find prospective trades. And they apply rules-based option trading strategies that succeed much more often than they fail. Even when they lose, their rules limit their losses to acceptable levels. This book was written by a successful option trader. He introduces options and how they work to those who are ready to learn how they work. The book emphasizes the application of time-tested option trading rules. These rules use price charts, market volatility, key option values, and risk graphs to achieve high-probability option trading outcomes. The book also details ten option trade examples that include trade setups, entries, trade management techniques, and supporting illustrations.
