'Since I have been a derivatives trader, there is no one who has given me as many ideas about trading concepts as the author of Options: Perception and Deception. Besides teaching me new ways to scrutinize positions and their risk profiles, Charles Cottle taught me how to learn from the markets. This book provides the reader with with deep insights into options trading. It is exciting, inspiring, and far from being dry.'

My goal this past year was to master and gain a deeper understanding of options. I am a practicing physician and a trader. It was a stroke of luck to come across the Risk Doctor, Charles Cottle, a true genius of options.

For those who are serious about perfecting their option trading skills, RD's Webinar series is like an exciting roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of the options markets. I do not know of any other place that offers such a unique market ride.

First I need to point out that i know the author and worked with him on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade during the late 1980's. Charles was a superb trader but is an even better teacher. Options can be daunting because of all the associated terminology. This book will give the motivated reader numerous tools for understanding and choosing strategies for using options to control risks and achieve trading objectives. I know of no book that better serves a user of options as opposed to those whose interest is theoretical or academic.
