Under normal circumstances, when an investor buys a stock, he or she makes no profit in two out of three possible occurrences -- (1) when the price of the stock goes down; (2) when the price of the stock remains the same. The investor only profits if the stock increases in price. However, selling options on stock owned or purchased makes it possible for the investor to earn handsome annual rates of return, frequently 40% or more on an annualized basis! Unlike regular stock purchases where a profit is possible only if the stock increases, options make it possible to make a substantial profit even if the stock remains at the purchase price. For more venturesome investors, annualized rates of return of 100% or more are possible under bearish market conditions by selling "naked options" (without actually buying any stock). In this instance the investor can realize a profit if the price of the stock remains the same or declines. Risks as well as rewards are discussed.

In Volatility Trading, Sinclair offers you a quantitative model for measuring volatility in order to gain an edge in your everyday option trading endeavors. With an accessible, straightforward approach. He guides traders through the basics of option pricing, volatility measurement, hedging, money management, and trade evaluation. In addition, Sinclair explains the often-overlooked psychological aspects of trading, revealing both how behavioral psychology can create market conditions traders can take advantage of-and how it can lead them astray. Psychological biases, he asserts, are probably the drivers behind most sources of edge available to a volatility trader. Your goal, Sinclair explains, must be clearly defined and easily expressed-if you cannot explain it in one sentence, you probably aren't completely clear about what it is. The same applies to your statistical edge. If you do not know exactly what your edge is, you shouldn't trade. He shows how, in addition to the numerical evaluation of a potential trade, you should be able to identify and evaluate the reason why implied volatility is priced where it is, that is, why an edge exists. This means it is also necessary to be on top of recent news stories, sector trends, and behavioral psychology. Finally, Sinclair underscores why trades need to be sized correctly, which means that each trade is evaluated according to its projected return and risk in the overall context of your goals. As the author concludes, while we also need to pay attention to seemingly mundane things like having good execution software, a comfortable office, and getting enough sleep, it is knowledge that is the ultimate source of edge. So, all else being equal, the trader with the greater knowledge will be the more successful. This book, and its companion CD-ROM, will provide that knowledge. The CD-ROM includes spreadsheets designed to help you forecast volatility and evaluate trades together with simulation engines.
