If this is your first options book, you picked up the wrong book. This should be
read after you have read books that explain options theory, because this book is

meant for experienced options traders. Have you been through a “mentoring” pro-
gram and been disappointed by your preparedness? Then this is the right book for

you. Have you read books by Sheldon Natenberg, Larry McMillian, etc.? Then this
book is for you. Have you been trading options for a year or more and understand
the Greeks . . . for the most part? Then this book is for you. If your answer was no to
any of these, you may want to consider reading books that will get you to this
point. Then you will be ready to pick this one up. Of course, anyone can read and
learn from this book, but know that this was written for people with background
knowledge, and will assume some of the basics are already understood.
