Summary: Some Great ideas from this book
Comment: Very good book on volatility. The author gives some great ideas about trading volatility.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding book with clear details of how to duplicate his data
Comment: This is one of the best books on options in my library! I'm a programmer and found Jeff Augen's descriptions of exactly how he calculated volatility and standard deviations. I duplicated it and compared it to iVolatility's historical data and it was dead on. I had thought of the Price Spike charts before reading this book but the author does a good job of explaining how to use them in your option trading. There are many nuggest you can use as an option trader in this book. I suggest re-reading it a few times so it all sinks in.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a gem not really helpful.
Comment: Two of methods in this books are unique, but too hard to put to use in consistent basis for serious traders. Save money and buy a book on technical analysis on stocks for options trading.

Summary: Super Book About Trading Volitility With Options
Comment: Rare find, this book is well written and nicely organized. I now have a far greater insight on how to profit in my option trading using volitility as an additional method. I read one review that mentioned that this book is not the Holy Grail, I agree and neither is any other book I have ever read on the subject, I do not believe there is such a thing nor probably ever will be. I will say this much about Mr Augen's book, it is definitely in the top 5% of those on the market today and any serious or want to be serious trader ought to do himself or herself a favor and add this arrow to their quiver.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worthwhile Purchase
Comment: I agree generally with the other 5 star reviews. I would add that Augen does a great job of giving the reader a sense of the time and effort it takes to get an edge with respect to trading volatility. The statistical anaylses required take a lot of time and effort and Augen's analysis techniques, which are discussed at length in the book, I believe are invaluable. Not a book for beginners, but experienced, self-directed traders will find this book to be a gem.

Jeff's analysis is unique, at least among academic derivatives textbooks. I would definitely use this material in my derivatives class, as I believe students would benefit from analyzing the many dimensions of Jeff's trading strategies. I especially found the material on trading the earnings cycle and discussion of how to insure against price jumps at known events very worthwhile.'
