商品簡介
"Jeff's analysis is unique, at least among academic derivatives textbooks. I would definitely use this material in my derivatives class, as I believe students would benefit from analyzing the many dimensions of Jeff's trading strategies. I especially found the material on trading the earnings cycle and discussion of how to insure against price jumps at known events very worthwhile." --
D R . R OBERT J ENNINGS , Professor of Finance, Indiana University Kelley School of Business "This is not just another book about options trading. The author shares a plethora of knowledge based on 20 years of trading experience and study of the financial markets. Jeff explains the myriad of complexities about options in a manner that is insightful and easy to understand. Given the growth in the options and derivatives markets over the past five years, this book is required reading for any serious investor or anyone in the financial service industries." --
M ICHAEL P. O'H ARE , Head of Mergers & Acquisitions, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. "Those in the know will find this book to be an excellent resource and practical guide with exciting new insights into investing and hedging with options." --
J IM M EYER , Managing Director, Sasqua Field Capital Partners LLC "Jeff has focused everything I knew about options pricing and more through a hyper-insightful lens This book provides a unique and practical perspective about options trading that should be required reading for professional and individual investors." --

The Volatility Edge in Options Trading , leading options trader Jeff Augen introduces breakthrough strategies for identifying subtle price distortions that arise from changes in market volatility. Drawing on more than a decade of never-before-published research, Augen provides new analytical techniques that every experienced options trader can use to study historical price changes, mitigate risk, limit market exposure, and structure mathematically sound high-return options positions. Augen bridges the gap between pricing theory mathematics and market realities, covering topics addressed in no other options trading book. He introduces new ways to exploit the rising volatility that precedes earnings releases; trade the monthly options expiration cycle; leverage put: call price parity disruptions; understand weekend and month-end effects on bid-ask spreads; and use options on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) as a portfolio hedge. Unlike conventional guides,
The Volatility Edge in Options Trading doesn't rely on oversimplified positional analyses: it fully reflects ongoing changes in the prices of underlying securities, market volatility, and time decay. What's more, Augen shows how to build your own customized analytical toolset using low-cost desktop software and data sources: tools that can transform his state-of-the-art strategies into practical buy/sell guidance.
An options investment strategy that reflects the markets' fundamental mathematical properties Presents strategies for achieving superior returns in widely diverse market conditions Adaptive trading: how to dynamically manage option positions, and why you must Includes precise, proven metrics and rules for adjusting complex positions Effectively trading the earnings and expiration cycles Leverage price distortions related to earnings and impending options expirations Building a state-of-the-art analytical infrastructure Use standard desktop software and data sources to build world-class decision-making tools
好的,為您創作一本與期權交易相關的圖書簡介,內容將圍繞市場結構、交易策略的構建與風險管理展開,同時避免提及您提供的書名中的具體信息。 --- 書名(示例):《市場脈動與策略精進:期權交易的深度剖析與實戰指南》 內容簡介 本書旨在為緻力於在復雜金融衍生品市場中尋求穩定迴報的投資者提供一個全麵、深入的框架。我們深知,期權交易並非簡單的概率遊戲,而是對市場結構、波動性動態以及交易者心理的綜閤考驗。本書摒棄瞭浮誇的暴富神話,專注於構建一套係統化的知識體係和嚴謹的交易流程,幫助讀者建立真正的“交易優勢”。 第一部分:理解市場的骨架——期權基礎與市場結構重塑 期權作為一種非綫性工具,其定價和行為模式遠超基礎資産的直觀邏輯。本書的第一部分將從結構層麵入手,剖析支撐期權市場的核心機製。 1.1 重新審視希臘字母:從理論到實戰的橋梁 我們不會停留在對Delta、Gamma、Theta、Vega的簡單定義上。本章將深入探討這些“希臘字母”在不同市場環境下的相互作用,以及它們如何共同描繪齣期權頭寸的風險敞口。特彆關注Gamma在極端行情下的“翻轉效應”,以及如何利用Theta的衰減性來設計時間價值迴收策略。理解這些敏感性指標,是量化風險和優化持倉的基礎。 1.2 波動率的本質:隱含波動率與曆史波動率的博弈 波動率是期權定價的靈魂。本書將詳細拆解隱含波動率(IV)的構成,探討其與市場預期的關聯性。我們將引入波動率期限結構(Term Structure)和微笑麯綫(Volatility Skew/Smile)的概念,教導讀者如何解讀市場對未來不確定性的集體評估。對比曆史波動率的客觀數據,交易者可以更清晰地判斷當前IV是高估還是低估,從而為選擇買入還是賣齣期權提供關鍵依據。 1.3 市場微觀結構對定價的影響 現代交易所和做市商的行為對期權價格産生瞭微妙但持續的影響。本章將探討流動性、訂單流對期權溢價的即時影響。理解買賣價差(Bid-Ask Spread)的含義,以及如何通過有效的訂單執行策略來最小化交易成本,尤其是在處理流動性較差的閤約時,這直接關乎最終的盈利能力。 第二部分:策略構建與情景分析——從簡單到復雜的戰術部署 本部分是本書的核心,著重於將理論知識轉化為可執行的交易策略。我們關注的重點在於構建“具有期望值為正”(Positive Expectancy)的交易結構。 2.1 基礎對衝策略的優化:利用Delta中性構建收益流 對於許多專業交易者而言,Delta中性是實現與市場方嚮無關收益的基礎。本書將展示如何構建和維護Delta中性頭寸,並深入探討如何精細調整Gamma和Vega敞口,以適應不同的市場預期。我們將提供實用的案例分析,說明如何通過動態調整期權閤約組閤,在控製風險的同時,穩定地捕捉時間價值的衰減。 2.2 突破與盤整:事件驅動型策略的應用 市場走勢通常分為趨勢性(突破)和區間震蕩(盤整)。本書將詳細介紹針對這兩種情景設計的專業策略。 區間策略(Range-Bound Strategies): 探討鐵禿鷹(Iron Condor)、日曆價差(Calendar Spreads)等,重點在於如何根據IV等級,選擇最佳的賣齣點位,並有效管理潛在的尾部風險。 突破策略(Directional/Volatility Breakout Strategies): 分析蝶式價差(Butterfly Spreads)和日元對衝策略(Ratio Spreads)在預期價格大幅波動時的應用,強調在預測方嚮不明確時,如何通過結構設計鎖定潛在的收益空間。 2.3 跨資産與跨市場套利思維 期權交易的優勢在於其跨市場聯動的特性。本章將引導讀者跳齣單一資産的思維定式,探討利用不同相關性資産的期權閤約進行對衝或套利的機會,例如利用股指與個股期權的差異,或ETF與成分股期權之間的定價錯配。 第三部分:風險管理與交易心理的紀律塑造 在期權市場,技術能力隻解決瞭50%的問題;剩下的50%在於紀律和風險控製。 3.1 極端風險的量化與壓力測試 傳統的止損方法在期權市場往往失效,因為期權的風險是非綫性的。本書強調事前(Ex-Ante)的風險評估。我們將介紹如何進行壓力測試,模擬黑天鵝事件對頭寸組閤的影響,並定義清晰的“風險預算”。重點在於,如何在策略構建階段就嵌入風險控製,而非事後補救。 3.2 保證金要求與資本效率最大化 理解保證金製度是高效利用資本的關鍵。本章將解析不同期權組閤所需的維持保證金和初始保證金,並提供策略來優化資本周轉率,確保資金不會過度鎖定在低效率的頭寸上。 3.3 交易心理學:剋服內在偏見 市場的噪音和自身的過度自信是盈利的大敵。我們將深入探討確認偏誤(Confirmation Bias)、處置效應(Disposition Effect)在期權交易中的具體錶現。提供經過驗證的工具和流程,幫助交易者在市場劇烈波動時,堅持既定的交易計劃,維持客觀的決策能力。 結語 本書並非提供“即插即用”的信號,而是提供一套思考的工具箱和嚴謹的執行框架。真正的市場優勢來源於對基礎原理的深刻理解、對自身風險承受能力的清醒認知,以及日復一日的紀律執行。掌握這些,方能在市場的潮起潮落中,構建起堅實的盈利基礎。
