      Options trading: The Bible of Options Strategies

      Each trading strategy spread type comes with a legend icons that tell you their purpose, like a tropical island emoji tells you its for unlimited capital gains, and an arrow emoji tells you what market direction it is about, and you also get a feel for its risk before hand, and you could flip through many strategies and narrow down on something that meets your objectives even though you never heard of it before, and learn more deeply about it. Then you could see how other strategies were just variations and tweaks to the prior one.

      But the real difference was that when I was trying to learn about options, most literature was telling me about what happened at the end of the trade, at "expiration", but practically nothing about options trading involves exercising an option, its so tone deaf. Options trading is about trading the price differences as they fluctuate through their life span. This book was good for acknowledging that.

      I personally liked the Bible of Options Strategies that I read 10 years ago.

      I loved trading butterflies on Thursday-Friday. Butterflies are a form of debit spread.
