Want to know how to do a credit spread? Debit spread? Think the market is going to take a jump in the next 90 days but don't have the cash to take a full position to go long in the market?

Mind you it doesn't cover the deeper mathematics of options but it get you ready to think like a trader. Coupled with a strong understanding of basic economics, this book provides the conceptual tools needed to understand the bread & butter strategies available to traders for as long as options have been around.
Definitely worth the 200 pages of reading.

Doesn't contain enough details about the various complex option strategies - needs some graphs for them rather than dry examples.
