Publisher Description
Don’t Miss out on Today’s Hottest Trading Arena: Commodity Options!
Investors worldwide are discovering the enormous opportunities available through commodity options trading. However, because commodities have differing underlying characteristics from equities, commodity options behave differently as well. In this book, two of the field’s most respected analysts present strategies built from the ground up for commodity options. Carley Garner and Paul Brittain begin with a quick primer on how commodity options work, how they evolved, and why conventional options strategies often fail in the commodity options markets. Next, using detailed examples based on their own extensive research, they show how to leverage the unique characteristics of commodity options in your own trades. You’ll walk through trades from “top to bottom,” master both long- and short-option approaches, and learn powerful strategies usually ignored in options books. For example, the authors introduce synthetic swing trading strategies that systematically reduce volatility from the market.

Customer Reviews
Sound Introduction to Options on Futures
Commodity Options is frequently panned in reviews elsewhere and hasn’t garnered much support here. I am always looking to build my knowledge base and this is a good, well authored book. I recommend it as a starting point for anyone trading futures who wants to consider how options on futures can be integrated. Commodity Options lacks detail on the greeks. It is dated and could use an update. The options markets are much deeper now with tigher spreads and more depth beyond front months. Given this is an introduction it is insufficient for self directed trading. Dan Passarelli’s book and Larry MacMillan’s volumes of work are required reading IMO. Messer’s Passarelli and MacMillan use more covnetional profit and loss diagrams.
Terrible book.
This was terrible book. Will give more details shortly.
