Options Trading: QuickStart Guide

The Simplified Beginner's Guide to Options Trading

By: ClydeBank Finance

Narrated by: Peter Bierma

This is not your typical options trading book, plagued with jargon and written by Wall Street academics who are more concerned with showing off than with actually teaching you how to trade. In Options Trading: QuickStart Guide, ClydeBank Finance packages the wisdom of the Wall Street elite into a straight-forward and easy-to-listen-to teaching tool. Options Trading: QuickStart Guide is ClydeBank Finance at its best, making complex ideas clear while endowing listeners with a wealth of powerful new knowledge.

Whether you're a newcomer to options trading or a grizzled veteran looking for a fresh take on basic strategy, you'll enjoy the plain-spoken style and colorful scenarios illustrated in Options Trading: QuickStart Guide.

In addition to providing a solid beginner's course in options trading, Options Trading: QuickStart Guide walks you through a multitude of strategic trading decisions, showing you how a trader thinks and how he arrives at critical decisions. This book wasn't written for someone who wants to stay on the sidelines, but for the ambitious trader looking to become a formidable, sharp, and cunning options trader.

You'll learn:

• The fundamentals of put and call options
• How to understand and leverage intrinsic value
• How to use a stock's implied volatility to inform smart trades
• What you need to know about "The Greeks"
• The mechanics of the short sell
• Much, much more

What did you love best about Options Trading: QuickStart Guide?

Overall it had some great basic information to get a foundation in trading.

If you’ve listened to books by ClydeBank Finance before, how does this one compare?

Better and more useful that others because it covers all the metaphorical bases

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book was easy to listen to in one sitting

This book is a great starting point

Excellent Options Trading audio book

Would you listen to Options Trading: QuickStart Guide again? Why?

The Options trading quick start guide audio book is really good. The narrator is very clear, concise and speaks in a nice, deliberate tone that is easy to follow.

I have a basic understanding of options trading and have made some option trades in the past, but haven’t been actively trading in a while now.

I found this audio book to be really informative and helpful. It explains the essential basics of options including their history, different kinds of options that are available and the different option trading methodologies that can be used.

Some of the methodologies explained include: buying calls and puts and covered and naked calls.

The audio book also provides probably the best explanation of what a market maker is and why they do what they do that I have ever heard. It also explains very simply what options terms like in/out of the money, historical and implied volatility and why these terms are important to you as an investor.

The section I found most helpful and enjoyable is the one on the “Greeks”. I was never able to gain an understanding of what these terms meant or what they were used for since they can be a little complicated to understand. This audio book did a good job of explaining them simply and what they are useful for including: Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega and Rho.

I also really liked the section on trading strategies including calculating breakeven prices and using the “Greeks” and historical/implied volatility to fully understand and execute your trade plans.

I think this audio book is a great reference to gain not only a basic understanding of options trading but also to gain confidence in your ability to find and execute successful trades.

Good basic information

Good as a kick start guide to options. I enjoyed it and will now pursue more in depth material.

awesome

I struggle to understand the concept at 1st but with repeated listen and taking notes you'll have at least the basics. Only, downfall. Is you have to remember to email the company for the PDF accompaniment. Should have a direct link for paying customer. But the audible book is on point!

excellent book

this is a great listen for beginners who want to explore options trading. the audio performance is brilliant

Needs update

The book refers to a companion PDF, but the book doesn't match the references to the PDF

Excellent guide

If you could sum up Options Trading: QuickStart Guide in three words, what would they be?

The ending was clear, concise, and adequate.

Peter Bierma is a master of reading these guides and making them easy and enjoyable to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I knew nothing about options trading, or even what options were when I started this guide. I now feel comfortable discussing them and even participating in options trading.
