The Options Edge
Winning The Volatility Game with Options on Futures
The Options Edge will most likely appeal to readers with some
practical experience in the trading of options. It has been written,
however, to be accessible to inexperienced traders who have
a strong desire to understand the workings of the options market.
Compared with other technical books on the subject, The
Options Edge is rather sparing in the use of algebra and complex
statistical formulae. However, the book does delve deeply into
the principles of statistical inference. It also analyzes a great deal
of data, but data structured in a way that anyone with an affinity
for numbers should find easily digestible. The author takes it
for granted that anyone interested in options is interested in
numbers.
Whereas much of what I have to say applies to options in general,
including stock options, the findings of The Options Edge
derive from, and are specifically relevant to, options on commodity
futures. Before writing this book, I had to spend much
time and effort constructing a data base from which to draw conclusions.
This data base is included in full at the end of the book
and may prove useful to other researchers who wish to check out,
statistically, for themselves, questions they may have about different
option trading strategies.
