Description:
Praise for Trading Options to Win

"Johnston has put together a very thorough work on futures options, and many stock option traders would learn something from this book as well. I especially like his reliance on expected returns and probability to choose the best trade to make." –Lawrence G. McMillan, President, McMillan Analysis Corp. bestselling author, Options as a Strategic Investment and Profit with Options

"Entirely different from any other book on options, thank goodness. I fall asleep immediately and without fail after opening a book on options, but not this time. [This book is] readable in one or two sittings with fascinating cases that really illustrate the principles. It may be a delusion, but I think I understood most of Trading Options to Win. Some chapters on specific strategies I will definitely be reading again and trying to use in my own trading." –Barbara Rockefeller, founder, Rockefeller Treasury Services author of The Global Trader and CNBC 24/7 Trading

"Stuart Johnston’s Trading Options to Win is an intelligent, literate, and informative description of the many ways to trade options that also explains why these trading strategies work. Those new to options trading absolutely need this book. Experienced options traders should not miss it." –Desmond MacRae, freelance business writer featured in the Financial Times and New York Post
