Best options book for today’s volatile markets,
Guy Cohen has written an incredibly good book concerning today’s volatile markets. Throughout the book he gives exact examples of what option strategy to use to maximize your profit and minimize your risk. He gives real insight into the psychology of the markets and how that interplays your timing of your entry and exit of a trade.
The book not only explains exactly how to use well-known volatility strategies like straddles and strangles, but also compares them in detail to ratio-backspreads where he shows how risk can be even better mitigated. That is one of the unique areas of this book and one of the most valuable.
Another thing I liked is the author’s intimate understanding of your emotions when a trade is on, and how to manage your trade practically so you retain your sanity. He explains that the biggest losses tend to come where a trader doesn’t grab the opportunity to take a profit when it presents itself. How true that is! This forms the essence of Cohen’s trading plan to take some profits off at a conservative initial profit target, but allow the remainder to trail any remaining profitable movement for a potential “windfall” gain. In trending markets this trading plan is golden. In rangebound markets the trading plan will keep you out of too much trouble.
I recommend this book for the beginners as well as the seasoned traders. Volatile Markets Made Easy will certainly help you make money and is a must read book for these volatile crazy markets.

|Good follow up to previous book,
I read this book after his earlier book “Options Made Easy” ,which paved the way to get more out of this book. In adition to the well presented standard fare in options books, the author also addresses the psychological aspects which can be half the battle when trading. The examples presented were beneficial and,as a learner,the more the better. Again, a good read coupled with his earlier book.
Although it is not necessary for an option trader to understand the mathematics behind the option models used, the author does include equations which is quite helpful in my opinion. The reason for this is that any trading strategy is used more appropriately if the trader understands the math behind it.
I have had better profits selling options when volatility is high and moving lower and buying them when volatility is low and expected to go higher.
His statement “if volatility in the market continues to rise , then buying these options will be rewarded by higher premiums,provided the implied volatility of the options follows suit” seems to advocate buying options when volatility is high and expected to go higher. In my experience this is a dangerous strategy since if volatility collapses the option premiums will collapse with it and you are likely to face a loss quickly.This is especially true if you bought an option during a period of high volatility.
Also I wished the author mentioned the effect of lopsidedness in open interest between puts and calls on the likelihood of a specific option expiring worthless. I read this in another book and was amazed at the accuracy of this approach in predicting whether the puts or calls are more likely to expire worthless .
Even with the minor critical comments the book is still worth reading.
