"The complete guide to building the mindset, knowledge, and skills of a professional options trader.
Professional options trader Marcel Link argues that the most successful traders are the ones who treat trading like a business. It's how he turned trading into a full-time job, and he shares all his secrets with you. In The High Probability Options Trader, Link explains how to take advantage of online tools, offers a thorough but easy-to-understand explanation of option Greeks, and provides many effective strategies, including selling options and spreads with high volatility, making time decay work in your favor, using different time spreads, staying delta neutral, and using butterflies and condors. He explains how to trade during earnings, how to use technical analyses to time trades, and how to manage risk. Specific topics include: learning to understand and take full advantage of a broker's platform; what options are and how they're best used; methods for valuing options; choosing underlying stocks, indexes, ETFs, and futures to trade; using options to protect your portfolio from market turns; managing your options portfolio; reading marketing conditions to make the right investing decisions; placing orders and timing trades; and developing and implanting risk-management strategies."
"A common denominator among most new traders is that, within six months of launching their new pursuit, they are out of money and out of trading. High-Probability Trading softens the impact of this 'trader's tuition,' detailing a comprehensive program for weathering those perilous first months and becoming a profitable trader.
This no-nonsense book takes a uniquely blunt look at the realities of trading. Filled with real-life examples and intended for use by both short- and long-term traders, it explores each aspect of successful trading."
