KJAZ: I'm giving this book 5 stars even though I'm only on page 26 because if the remainder of the book is like the first section, it's going to earn my praise. If it doesn't, I'll come back and revise the stars awarded. I stopped here to offer this review because of something very personal included in his book: a letter from his wife explaining what she had to go through during the 15 years she had to endure on John's journey. It's something every trader's partner should read. I've never encountered this before, but I feel it shows the transparency John is affording his reader about his life as a trader. I've traded stocks for a decade and just began trading options and wanted to quickly get beyond the beginner level. Risk management is key and believe me when I say you can become poor very quickly trading options. John does a good job explaining risk management. Ignore this and you'll die very, very quickly. No cash...game over. Just because you're a good stock picker doesn't necessarily translate to options. This should not be the book if you don't know the difference between a call or put, but I can already feel this is one of the most important books...

Weston Stander:
Good mix of the trader's psychology, with some moderately entertaining biographical elements, and real trading strategies. There are lots of actual examples of each strategy (not fake ones) that were useful for me to get the exact idea right. Very helpful. The psychology is very accurately described as well. I feel like some people in this field publish books only as marketing material to get you to buy their service, but this is not at all one of those books.
That said, I traded with his group for a while and they are a great group and run a no-nonsense business. They share their full thoughts, exact trades in and out, and are unusually nice people! There is more promotion of every new seminar, etc for sale than I prefer, but I also understand that is their business. Anyway, the book is a pleasant read and very useful.
Good online supplementary videos as well.
However, I disagree with his suggestion that it's ok to trade options without knowing much about them. They are complex, highly leveraged trading instruments that can move fast due to factors you should understand.
