Tries to do too much
The book is a contradiction in a sense. It is supposed to help those new to options trading understand it, but by covering both futures and stock options simultaneously I only ended up confused. I am interested in learning stock options and the books primary focus seems to be on futures. Perhaps having two books dedicated to each of the subjects would be more appropriate for a "beginners" book. In addition, the early introduction of examples about "offsets" are very confusing and, again for a "beginners" book, not appropriate at such an early stage.

several clients have used this book to get started
We have referred several of our clients to Mr. McCafferty's book and they have all given it a thumbs up! He starts with the simple strategies and works his way up to more complicated strategies. He includes money management plans and how to implement your own trading plan, as well as how to integrate new software packages into your trading plan. We mail this book to clients who need help with options. This book is a must for new option traders!

Most poorly written book in Finance
I read hundreds of books and never write reviews. This book is so poorly written that I was compelled to write this review.If you just read the first 5 pages of the book, you will get an idea how poor a writer its author is. The first chapter is about basics of Options. However, even for someone like me who is experienced in stock trading, it was most confusing.
I dont know how to get a refund for this aweful book but I will stay away from any books written by this author and its publisher for publsihing this junk.
