It is very rare for a good trader to actually write a trading book。 Writing a book well costs time, and if you are a good trader, your time is expensive。 I don't know how Mr。 Sinclair manages to sqeeze the time to write this, but this book is the rare one。This book covers quantitative option trading similar to author's "Volatility trading"。 Like the previous book, the author focuses on "trading" i。e。, how we to idenfity an edge to trade on, how to engineer a trading strategy to harvest the edge, It is very rare for a good trader to actually write a trading book。 Writing a book well costs time, and if you are a good trader, your time is expensive。 I don't know how Mr。 Sinclair manages to sqeeze the time to write this, but this book is the rare one。This book covers quantitative option trading similar to author's "Volatility trading"。 Like the previous book, the author focuses on "trading" i。e。, how we to idenfity an edge to trade on, how to engineer a trading strategy to harvest the edge, and how to manage the risk and uncertainty of things we don't have an edge on。 The mathematics in this book is highly practical。 The author cares about how useful the model helps trading, but not how correct or beautiful the model is。 On the other hand, the book is highly analytical, the way the author approaches trading provide insights beyond option trading or even quantitative trading, but in general trading as a decision making process。Highly recommend for anyone who trades。 。。。more
