Options are not a casino. They are a craft.
How to Trade Options strips the subject down to what a beginner actually needs: what a call and a put really are, what you pay, what you can lose, and what has to happen for a trade to make money. Every idea comes with worked dollar math and everyday comparisons, so premiums, strike prices, expiry and time decay stop being abstract words and become numbers you can check yourself.
The heart of the book is the three income strategies serious beginners start with: covered calls, cash-secured puts and the Wheel, taught step by step across 16 chapters with 20 color diagrams.
Inside, you will learn:
- Calls and puts explained with real worked examples
- Premiums, strike prices, expiry and time decay in plain English
- Covered calls: earning rent on shares you already own
- Cash-secured puts: getting paid while you wait to buy
- The Wheel: how the two combine into one repeatable process
- The traps that empty beginners’ accounts, and the golden rules that protect yours
The print edition adds 16 chapter quizzes with answers and a 30-day paper-trading journal, so you practice with imaginary money before risking one real dollar. Book 2 of the Stock Market Made Simple series. Read Book 1 first if charts are new to you.
