Rating: - Super Book About Trading Volitility With Options
Rare find, this book is well written and nicely organized. I now have a far greater insight on how to profit in my option trading using volitility as an additional method. I read one review that mentioned that this book is not the Holy Grail, I agree and neither is any other book I have ever read on the subject, I do not believe there is such a thing nor probably ever will be. I will say this much about Mr Augen's book, it is definitely in the top 5% of those on the market today and any serious or ... Read More
Rating: - Worthwhile Purchase
I agree generally with the other 5 star reviews. I would add that Augen does a great job of giving the reader a sense of the time and effort it takes to get an edge with respect to trading volatility. The statistical anaylses required take a lot of time and effort and Augen's analysis techniques, which are discussed at length in the book, I believe are invaluable. Not a book for beginners, but experienced, self-directed traders will find this book to be a gem.
Rating:  - "Ying and Yang Style"
The author, Augen, trades for a living but has spent more than a decade developing his own method for trading (page xii ).
In his book he shares his own personal knowledge and experience utilizing a ying and yang cast to communicate the message.

Rating: - Opens New Thoughts On Trading Volatility
Definitely worth the price. I have been trading options for only one year and I believe that with enough study, it is easy to understand the power of Augen's methods for trading around earnings and expiration. His analysis on standard deviation spikes alone opened up my eyes to how you can gain that edge around those two important times in an options life. He definitely opened my eyes to how volatility truly plays into options. I would highly recommend if you want that true edge in options.
Rating:  - Not yet the holy grail
A well-written book with clear explanations. Not enough to make money on a consistent basis.
