Seller's Description:
Very good. Das beste Optionen-Trading Buch. McMillan gehört zu den wenigen Financial Bücher dessen Kauf ich nicht bereut habe. Auf 1000 Seiten wird ziemlich alles was man über Optionen schreiben kann behandelt. Ich habe die 1000 Seiten von vorne bis hinten durchgelesen. Manchmal wiederholt sich der Autor, aber es ist immer wieder neue und zusätzliche Information dabei. Besonders gelungen fand ich am Ende des Buches die Abschnitte über Volatility-Trading. In diesem Detail habe ich das noch nie gelesen. Der Autor verkauft keine Wundermittel. Er weist sehr detailliert auf die Vor-und Nachteile der verschiedenen Strategien hin. Es geht auch auf die mathematischen Konzepte wie die Greeks detailliert ein. Allerdings verschont er den Leser mit mathematischen Details. Nachdem ich diese mathematischen Konzepte bereits intus habe (und auch studierter Mathematiker bin), ist mir der mathematische Klimbim nicht abgegangen. Es kann allerdings sein, dass für einen Leser ohne Vorkenntnisse die darauf basierenden Trading-Konzepte etwas in der Luft hängen. Dem Buch täte eine aktualisierte 5te Auflage nicht schaden. Aber im Vergleich zum üblichen Mist auf diesen Gebiet ist es ein herausragends Buch. Eine sehr gute Ergänzung zu diesem Buch ist: J. Hull, Options, Futures and Other Derivatives, 6th Edition. Hull behandelt weit ausführlicher die mathematische Theorie. Dafür gibt es wenig Information, was man mit diesen Modellen anstellen kann. Das ist genau die Stärke des McMillan Buches.

I found this an excellent introduction to trading options, and it would be a valuable reference as well.
Pros:
Authoritative: Larry McMillan has traded options since the first standardized markets were set up in the 1970s. He combines a mathematician's rigor and real-world trading experience for a broad and deep understanding of options pricing and market behavior.
Specific: Almost every strategy and concept discussed is illustrated with concrete examples (using fictional XYZ stock).
Comprehensive: Covers strategies ranging from simple purchase of options to complex volatility strategies.
Cons:
Other authors have used a standard underlying for examples (always XYZ stock, always at 100). McMillan (maybe working from real-world past trades) uses various underlying prices and strikes. It's harder to compare strategies that way.
4th edition shows its age:
1. stock and option prices in fractions
2. assumes commissions are high
This skews McMillan's estimates of the desirability of some strategies in ways that are unrealistic in current markets with narrower bid-asked spreads and lower commissions.
