"Commodity Options" Book Release - Leverage Breakthrough Opportunities in Commodity Options – and Avoid the Pitfalls
New FT Press book, Commodity Options, reveals proven trading strategies that leverage the unique attributes of the commodity options markets.
New York, NY, May 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- New FT Press book, Commodity Options, reveals proven trading strategies that leverage the unique attributes of the commodity options markets.
As equity investing has become increasingly difficult, investors worldwide are discovering enormous new opportunities in commodity options trading. But there’s a crucial catch – and it can cost unwary investors dearly. Because commodities have different underlying characteristics than equities, commodity options behave differently – and conventional option strategies often fail as a result. Now, for the first time, two of the field’s leading analysts present strategies specifically designed to take advantage of the specific characteristics of commodity options.
In Commodity Options (FT Press, ISBN -13: 978-0-13-714286-6, $39.99, 288pp), Carley Garner and Paul Brittain reveal why commodity options represent such a valuable opportunity, and show investors how they may be able to profit from them. Garner and 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 and experience, they show how to leverage the specific attributes of commodity options, rather than falling victim to them.
The authors walk through multiple trades from top to bottom, present both long- and short-option approaches, and introduce powerful strategies usually ignored in options books – including strategies designed to systematically reduce the impact of market volatility. Along the way, they reveal:
· Four techniques that make winning trades more likely, and losing trades less common
· When to trade “short” options – and how to systematically manage the risks that scare many investors away
· How to combine long and short options to customize an optimal strategy for any market environment
· How to exploit short-lived trends through synthetic swing trading
· How to use “iron butterflies” to limit risk, and increase profits in “sideways” markets
Until now, most investors interested in trading commodity options have had to learn from books built upon stock option trading principles instead. With Commodity Options, they finally have an expert guide to optimizing their trades, in their markets. Using this book, they can take a far more active approach to managing risk in turbulent markets – and attempt to earn the consistent profits that may have become so elusive elsewhere.
