detailed with math equations.

After listening through half the book I realize that purchasing the real book will help the reader understand better.
I was getting lost with all the math equations needed to understand what was being said.
it is a very indepth book and a must read to understand how the market comes up with the Bid- Ask spread and premiums.

Must read for option traders.

I definitely recommend this book if your serious about options. Listening to this book a second time.

For those serious about options…

I myself am not mathematically inclined but after listening to this whole book I now know why they they consider this “the Bible” of option trading. I am determined to read this book from front to back over and over again until I’m able to comprehend all parts fluently. Great read and great challenge to mindset and the management of risk of the overall options and futures market.

No chapter titles

Similar to the hedge fund market wizards - the chapters are labeled as chapter 1 - 2 -3 etc. fortunately I have the actual book. Does anyone know if it’s difficult for audible to add in chapters titles?

wast of time

whoever trades options this book is not interesting and everything in this book you probably know already

I think easy steps were made very complicated. The writer could make it easily understandable with practical examples.I didn’t find it very useful for retail investors

Very difficult to listen to,

It was very hard for me to understand but I'm not a professional. I was just trying to understand how it works. It's just not for me.
