hi everyone,
just wondering whether anyone has read this book on options selling? i just completed reading it not too long ago and found this to be a great book!

the author is an expert in options selling and he specialises it in futures options. however, his approach is more of selling OTM options rather than ITM options. though not truly non-directional, but i find his book very informative and it really opens up another perspective for you in the world of options selling.

good book for beginner and introduction to options selling, but no real techniques in there. This is basically a sales pitch book for the author to be famous since they are running a management services.

hi Dave,
i thought the book did give techniques on how to manage the risk of selling options? they are 4 of them if i am not wrong.
or you mean there are more defined ways of managing those risks? tell us your thoughts please. :)

hi

if you are referring to double your premium cut loss, that is a joke. A better book will be by Dave Caplan, this book is really a intro to options selling and a sales to his services.

hi

are you referring to double premium cut loss, if that is 1 of them, then check out dave caplan book that is a much better author

hi Dave,
yes double premium cut loss is one of the 4 techniques he mentioned. you mean this is not a working method?

he mentioned stuff like rolling as an adjustment too. isnt that a working method too? pls enlighten. thank you. :)

it is 1 of the more popular method for cutting loss on naked options. If you trade more and more you will realise it is not so simple. We all know most of the time options expired worthless but it is the sometime that we have to take care of so according to the michael gross cut loss when your premium double

Example
month 1 - make 100% (options expired)
month 2 - make 100% (options expired)
month 3 - loss 200% options double
this 3 month work for nothing

any market that you trade, there is bounce to be some big move once or twice a year. If you get hit 1 time which mean you need 2 months down to recover, if you get hit 2 time it mean you need 4 month to recover.

That is not my strategy for cutting loss. but that is just me. Follow Mr Sun rolling will be better, I do a different rolling but at least Mr Sun rolling is much better than cut loss at 200% or worse 300% (which mean u need 3 month to recover)

ok, i see what you mean. :)
