Pragmatic Trading: Use of Weapons Just released!!

My new book, “Pragmatic Trading: Use of Weapons” is now available.  You can download a free PDF here: PT Use of Weapons V1.2.  The book is also available on Amazon (for $0.99 or free for Kindle subscribers).  Use of Weapons continues where “Professional Planning, Modern Methods” leaves off: the pro’s and con’s of alternative trading “weapons”, ala outright purchase or sale, purchase of naked options, sale of naked options, and then the real focus of the book, the use of option spreads, particularly credit spreads.  The many reasons why I almost exclusively use credit spreads and consider them a far superior “weapon” for trading high liquid markets is fully addressed, with multiple real trade examples, including expected value math supporting the methodology.  A must read for all serious traders.
