Retail Options Trading

Master the Lifeblood of Options Trading: Edge In trading, edge is everything—it’s the advantage that separates winners from the rest. Retail Options Trading is built around this core concept, emphasizing that without edge, no amount of strategy or risk management will lead to long-term success. Euan Sinclair and Andrew Mack provide a comprehensive framework to help retail traders uncover and cultivate edge within an otherwise efficient market. From harvesting risk premia to identifying transient inefficiencies, this book offers practical methods for spotting opportunities where others see randomness. Readers will learn how to align their options trading process with their edge, ensuring every trade targets some quantifiable market effect. This is not just another primer on options basics. Retail Options Trading challenges readers to think like professionals and equips them with tools to evaluate opportunities in an environment dominated by [...]institutions. For those willing to put in the effort, this book serves as a critical manual for developing an edge—and turning it into sustainable returns. Packed with insights drawn from hard-won experience, Retail Options Trading equips you to approach the option markets with precision, discipline, and realistic expectations. Praise for Retail Options Trading "Euan Sinclair puts his decades of experience as a trader, quant, and risk manager into a logically organized book for advanced retail derivatives traders. Andrew Mack takes principles from his expertise in sports betting and applies them to options markets. This easy to read book covers many topics of interest for the serious retail trader including many which aren’t covered usually at all in books. A highly recommended must read!" - Tina Lindstrom , Head of Oil Derivatives Trading, Marex North America Important Note for Kindle Readers: Please note that the digital version of this book is a print replica .
