2008 financial disaster, traders and investors
still find themselves struggling to deal
with markets and an economy besieged

longer than anyone expected. Part 1
examines how volatility in option trading relates

how to manage risk and take advantage of market volatility when investing in derivatives.
Part 2 digs into the tools for evaluating
option trading decisions, the greeks:
delta, vega, theta, and gamma. Part 3 outlines
effective strategies for trading options
contracts in uncertain times. It also looks at
specific option trading strategies to offset
risk and reach for profit.
