Increased marketplace volatility and the expanding size of capital markets have led to an explosion of interest in options on futures. What makes these instruments so attractive is that they allow traders to profit from movements in the markets using little up-front capital and plenty of leverage. At the same time, they provide options excellent hedge against the risks associated with capital market investments. This book demystifies these notoriously difficult-to-understand instruments and provides state-of-the-art strategies and tools for making the most of options on futures. Summa New Haven, CT is a CTA and cofounder of OptionsNerd. Jonathan Lubow Randolph, NJ is cofounder and Vice President of Trader's Edge, a futures and options brokerage. With the publication of Options on Futures: New Trading Strategies, authors John Summa and Jonathan Lubow show how easy it is for investors and traders to make the transition to commodity options and options on other futures markets. Written as a how-to guide to understanding options on futures terms, characteristics, and strategies, this book also presents a look at some of the authors' favorite strategies in action, under both favorable and unfavorable market conditions. Readers will benefit by having a chance to look over the shoulders of these two experienced options strategies as they set up their trades and make adjustments in the heat of battle. Summa and Lubow present what they call a net selling approach to trading options. The authors persuasively make the case that option buyers typically inexperienced traders remain at the mercy of time-value decay, while option sellers have a built-in trading edge because they can profit from the decay of time value and the sale of overvalued options. Option sellers do not totally depend on a market's direction in order to profit, a key advantage to selling options often overlooked by novice traders. The authors compile historical data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which supports their claim that option sellers also known as option writers do better than buyers. It is the sellers, argue the authors, who are laughing all the way to the bank. Options on Futures shows you how to incorporate this seller's advantage into a variety of trading strategies, including: Investors and traders of all stripes who have any interest in taking advantage of the profit potential of options markets will find Options on Futures full of insights about options and how best to trade them.

BOG Average Customer Review: See questions and answers. Share your thoughts with other customers. Write a customer review. By A customer on November 3, I like to buy straddles. That makes me a debit spreader. Since this book is all about CREDIT-spreads, you'd think that I would stay away from it. Nevertheless, I'm glad that I bought the book and consider it to be an important addition to my library. The authors do a good job of: To be honest, I'm glad that I've had a chance to read and re-read ALL these books -- so I'm not saying that you shouldn't get any of them. It's just that Summa and Lubow make an especially good case for credit-spreading. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report abuse. By Andrew Kasch on June 3, Why do hardback futures cost so much? Who comes up with the pricing on these things? John Summa makes a strong case for selling credit spreads in the futures market in this volume. It is a good read for beginners, but really you can find the same material on the internet for free just by doing a few key word searches. The way he presents the material is authoritative and would have one believing that his conclusions are gospel. In reality nothing could be further from the truth. You can lose money doing credit spreads, and yes, have bad streaks where 4 or 5 in a row go against you. I know because I am a fan of credit spreads and do them in the stock market quite a bit. Typically you are risking more thanthat is, risking more than twice as much as you can make so when you hit a bad streak it can set you way back. Credit spreads are just another tool; futures still need to be strategies at choosing your positions. I belong to Summa's mailing list as well. His mantra is selling options, selling options, selling options. A quote from one of his newsletters: Ask Nicolas Talib "Fooled by Randomness" what HE thinks of selling premium as a core strategy. Selling option premium is one of those strategies that makes a little money most of the time and then one day a catastrophy hits and ruins you. I have two major issues with the book, which I concede is a well-written work that I did enjoy reading. The first is that the examples given are unrealistic. The premiums collected on the SPX credit spread examples in the first half of the book that are way out of the money like that just don't exist. The second is the risk-management trading on some of the scenarios. I still recommend reading it to those learning about option spread options who like to learn by having a book on their nightstand. But buy it used. Hey, how about my copy? For me, books are either a 1 star, 3 star, or 5 star. The 5-stars are the classics that are too good to ever remove from your bookshelf, like many of the books I recommend at winningfinancialstrategies. The 3-stars get sold on ebay when the bookshelf overflows. The 1-stars go to Salvation Army. Moody on February 6, Very good treaty on trading options as a net seller, sellers being the options traders in the market who make the real money. Well written, clear examples, margin reqs covered thoroughly Strategies strategies - the big boys have them all. By Walter Prochorenko on April 1, This could be a good "beginner's" guide to trading but if you rely on this for trading - I guarantee that eventually you WILL lose. There is no such thing as a "good" - let alone "excellent" or "realistic" guides to trading. Remember, you are trading against multi-million dollar computers and continually back tested algorithms used by multi-billion even trillion dollar corporations that will eat your tiny investment for a snack. This is like a 12 year old boxing against a world champion. You don't have a chance - unless you are very, very, very lucky. How's YOUR luck been? By robert j pierce on April 15, This is options very simple, canned presentation. The book is primarily boilerplate that may be read free on any exchange website. There may be value for the novice here, but anyone with experience will put the book down 15 minutes after picking it up. See futures verified purchase reviews newest first.
