ABOUT THE WEBSITE

The website at www.OptionMath.com was originally created as a companion to my first book, Options Math for Traders, and it’s been revised, extended, and updated to serve as a companion to this work as well. You’ll find option price and data spreadsheets that will allow you to price options given all the required inputs and we’ll guide you on selecting those inputs. The spreadsheets also help you determine just how volatile the options on a particular stock or ETF say that stock or ETF is going to be for the term of the option. This is a little like peering into the future with the options telling us what to expect.

The website also provides all the cheat sheets that follow each strategy chapter, but like most things, the real understanding comes from the reading and understanding of the material, not from perusing the cheat sheets, which are intended to distill the information from the chapter, not to replace it.

Finally, the web site will include annotated examples of all the option spreads and combinations we discuss, including actual recent notable option trades including commentary about the trade, the risks and potential rewards, why it might have been made, and the math advantage or penalty inherent in it. It’s an opportunity to look over the shoulder of professional option traders.

You’ll also be able to discuss option trading with us and e-mail your questions because options are an incredibly useful tool. Let’s get started using them.
