Contraportada

“The Option Trader’s Hedge Fund provides traders with a resource that is not only actionable but interesting at the same time.

“In The Option Trader’s Hedge Fund, Mark Sebastian and Dennis Chen introduce traders to option trading methods that have been utilized by hedge funds for years. This book will help all levels of option traders take their game to the next level.”

--Russell Rhoads, CFA, Instructor, CBOE Options Institute

 

“Thousands of books have been written about stock and option trading. Unfortunately most of these books are completely focused on individual trade structures, and the ones that focus on risk management are completely weighted to the equity side. Until now, nobody has adequately addressed the issue of risk management for investors holding a portfolio of options. Without a solid approach to risk management, no serious trading effort can ever scale. Hedge funds know that because they invest hundreds of millions, sometimes billions of dollars. This new book by Dennis Chen and Mark Sebastian bridges that gap. It is destined to find a place on thousands of desks of private option traders who seek to scale their strategies and effectively manage risk because every serious investor knows that not losing money is the best way to generate a profit.”

--Jeff Augen, author of The Volatility Edge in Options Trading and Trading Options at Expiration

 

“From trade selection to execution, risk mitigation, and volatility analysis, everything you need to know is contained within these pages. Whether you are a newcomer to the options market or a seasoned options veteran, the insight and analysis contained in this book will provide you with the proper framework for your options trading.”

--Mark S. Longo, Founder of www.TheOptionsInsider.com and The Options Insider Radio Network
