Show Me Your Options! the Guide to Complete Confidence for Every Stock and Options Trader Seeking Consistent, Predictable Returns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781607964193)

Options talk can be very technical but "Show Me Your Options" is broken down into bite-size chapters and useful options analogies that will help anybody muddle through options trading and come out on the other side with a couple of strategies they can use right now. The measure of a great trading book is whether I can take what I read last week and inject that into my trading on the next. Mission accomplished guys.
