Polo Financial Group: Book Review of The Option Trader’s Hedge Fund Rating: 4 of 5

Polo Financial Group:  Book Review of The Option Trader’s Hedge Fund
Rating: 4 of 5
























Once in awhile an option book is published that can be tossed into the pile with Natenberg, Taleb and Hull.  This is one of them.  The Option reading material until very recently has been very divided

1. Very Technical to Option trading for dummies
2. Option Trading based on math, not market reality


The Option Trader’s Hedge Fund is the missing book that traders need.  The book links the math, trading ideas and option terminology from the perspective of the Wall Street trader.  

In just a few years, technology that was once only available to large wall street firms is now available to almost anyone.  However, the technology will never teach you a disciplined trading framework.  This book will.  

The authors have taken the time to explain a step-by-step method to trading - simple things as a trading diary to more complicated risk management.  We believe this book is the missing link for anyone coming out of school and interested in trading to Wall Street professionals looking to run money.  The Option Traders Hedge fund is just that - How to manage risk and trade as the hedge fund pro’s to do.
