How to Trade Options : A Complete Beginner's Guide to Calls, Puts and Income Strategies: Covered Calls, Cash-Secured Puts and the Wheel
Overview
Options are not a casino. They are a craft.
Most beginners meet options through a rocket emoji and lose money by Friday. How to Trade Options starts at the real beginning: what a call and a put actually are, why premiums melt, what the fear meter does to prices, and only then, the three income strategies working investors quietly use every month: covered calls, cash-secured puts and the Wheel.
Inside, in plain language with 20 color diagrams:
- Calls and puts explained in one sentence (a right without an obligation)
- Time decay: why an option is a melting ice cube, and who collects the drips
- Implied volatility and IV crush: how you can be right and still lose
- The Greeks as a simple three-dial dashboard
- Covered calls: collecting rent on shares you already own
- Cash-secured puts: getting paid to wait for your price
- The Wheel strategy, your first defined-risk spread, and the 8 rules of survival
- A full covered-call year, honestly told: the rent AND the cost of the cap
Worked examples with real numbers in every chapter, a strategy-selector flowchart, and not a single promise of easy money. The print edition adds 16 chapter quizzes and a 30-day paper-trading journal.
