He has written this book specifically for professional options traders who have outgrown more basic trading techniques and are searching for in-depth information suitable for advanced trading. Custom-tailored to respond to the volatile option trading environment, this expert guide stresses the importance of finding a valid edge in situations where risk is usually overwhelmed by uncertainty and unknowability. Using examples of edges such as the volatility premium, term-structure premia and earnings effects, the author shows how to find valid trading ideas and details the decision process for choosing an option structure that best exploits the advantage. Advanced topics include a quantitative approach for directionally trading options, the robustness of the Black Scholes Merton model, trade sizing for option portfolios, robust risk management and more.

Arthur Duquette, Partner, Bluefin Trading Volatility trading is asymmetrically difficult either on the short side or on the long side. In recent years we have seen both long and short volatility shops going out of business ... Euan Sinclair manages to relay a strong message that the difference lies in finding trades with positive expected value, not with the sign of your trades. He proposes to analyze the term structure, fundamental factors, and earnings for edges. He suggests evaluating the skewness and trade sizing to monetize the edges. This book is a must-read full of knowledge for anyone working with and learning about options markets!
