Options trading offers unparalleled opportunity for rapid profit, but most
options guides are difficult to understand and even harder to use successfully. Not this
one. "Options Made Easy" has earned a worldwide reputation for simplicity,
clarity, and practical value.
In this thoroughly revamped Second Edition, renowned options trader Guy Cohen delivers
even more of what makes this book so valuable: better graphics for easy visual learning,
updated hands -on examples that walk step by step through real trades, and the clearest
plain-English explanations of trading techniques you'll find anywhere. Unlike its
competitors, Options Made Easy, Second Edition shows you how to design your own trading
plan for high probability trades and consistent profits, offering proven strategies you
can begin using right now. Best of all, Cohen teaches through easy-to-understand charts
and graphs, not complicated math! Coverage includes: filtering for moving stocks;
selecting the right strategy for each situation; bull call and put spreads; covered calls;
straddle/strangle; volatility and sideways strategies; trading and investing psychology;
and much more. This edition also contains a completely revamped introduction to the Greeks
- the standard sensitivities to options risk characteristics that every trader must know.
