商品简介
"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,为您创作一本与期权交易相关的图书简介,内容将围绕市场结构、交易策略的构建与风险管理展开,同时避免提及您提供的书名中的具体信息。 --- 书名(示例):《市场脉动与策略精进:期权交易的深度剖析与实战指南》 内容简介 本书旨在为致力于在复杂金融衍生品市场中寻求稳定回报的投资者提供一个全面、深入的框架。我们深知,期权交易并非简单的概率游戏,而是对市场结构、波动性动态以及交易者心理的综合考验。本书摒弃了浮夸的暴富神话,专注于构建一套系统化的知识体系和严谨的交易流程,帮助读者建立真正的“交易优势”。 第一部分:理解市场的骨架——期权基础与市场结构重塑 期权作为一种非线性工具,其定价和行为模式远超基础资产的直观逻辑。本书的第一部分将从结构层面入手,剖析支撑期权市场的核心机制。 1.1 重新审视希腊字母:从理论到实战的桥梁 我们不会停留在对Delta、Gamma、Theta、Vega的简单定义上。本章将深入探讨这些“希腊字母”在不同市场环境下的相互作用,以及它们如何共同描绘出期权头寸的风险敞口。特别关注Gamma在极端行情下的“翻转效应”,以及如何利用Theta的衰减性来设计时间价值回收策略。理解这些敏感性指标,是量化风险和优化持仓的基础。 1.2 波动率的本质:隐含波动率与历史波动率的博弈 波动率是期权定价的灵魂。本书将详细拆解隐含波动率(IV)的构成,探讨其与市场预期的关联性。我们将引入波动率期限结构(Term Structure)和微笑曲线(Volatility Skew/Smile)的概念,教导读者如何解读市场对未来不确定性的集体评估。对比历史波动率的客观数据,交易者可以更清晰地判断当前IV是高估还是低估,从而为选择买入还是卖出期权提供关键依据。 1.3 市场微观结构对定价的影响 现代交易所和做市商的行为对期权价格产生了微妙但持续的影响。本章将探讨流动性、订单流对期权溢价的即时影响。理解买卖价差(Bid-Ask Spread)的含义,以及如何通过有效的订单执行策略来最小化交易成本,尤其是在处理流动性较差的合约时,这直接关乎最终的盈利能力。 第二部分:策略构建与情景分析——从简单到复杂的战术部署 本部分是本书的核心,着重于将理论知识转化为可执行的交易策略。我们关注的重点在于构建“具有期望值为正”(Positive Expectancy)的交易结构。 2.1 基础对冲策略的优化:利用Delta中性构建收益流 对于许多专业交易者而言,Delta中性是实现与市场方向无关收益的基础。本书将展示如何构建和维护Delta中性头寸,并深入探讨如何精细调整Gamma和Vega敞口,以适应不同的市场预期。我们将提供实用的案例分析,说明如何通过动态调整期权合约组合,在控制风险的同时,稳定地捕捉时间价值的衰减。 2.2 突破与盘整:事件驱动型策略的应用 市场走势通常分为趋势性(突破)和区间震荡(盘整)。本书将详细介绍针对这两种情景设计的专业策略。 区间策略(Range-Bound Strategies): 探讨铁秃鹰(Iron Condor)、日历价差(Calendar Spreads)等,重点在于如何根据IV等级,选择最佳的卖出点位,并有效管理潜在的尾部风险。 突破策略(Directional/Volatility Breakout Strategies): 分析蝶式价差(Butterfly Spreads)和日元对冲策略(Ratio Spreads)在预期价格大幅波动时的应用,强调在预测方向不明确时,如何通过结构设计锁定潜在的收益空间。 2.3 跨资产与跨市场套利思维 期权交易的优势在于其跨市场联动的特性。本章将引导读者跳出单一资产的思维定式,探讨利用不同相关性资产的期权合约进行对冲或套利的机会,例如利用股指与个股期权的差异,或ETF与成分股期权之间的定价错配。 第三部分:风险管理与交易心理的纪律塑造 在期权市场,技术能力只解决了50%的问题;剩下的50%在于纪律和风险控制。 3.1 极端风险的量化与压力测试 传统的止损方法在期权市场往往失效,因为期权的风险是非线性的。本书强调事前(Ex-Ante)的风险评估。我们将介绍如何进行压力测试,模拟黑天鹅事件对头寸组合的影响,并定义清晰的“风险预算”。重点在于,如何在策略构建阶段就嵌入风险控制,而非事后补救。 3.2 保证金要求与资本效率最大化 理解保证金制度是高效利用资本的关键。本章将解析不同期权组合所需的维持保证金和初始保证金,并提供策略来优化资本周转率,确保资金不会过度锁定在低效率的头寸上。 3.3 交易心理学:克服内在偏见 市场的噪音和自身的过度自信是盈利的大敌。我们将深入探讨确认偏误(Confirmation Bias)、处置效应(Disposition Effect)在期权交易中的具体表现。提供经过验证的工具和流程,帮助交易者在市场剧烈波动时,坚持既定的交易计划,维持客观的决策能力。 结语 本书并非提供“即插即用”的信号,而是提供一套思考的工具箱和严谨的执行框架。真正的市场优势来源于对基础原理的深刻理解、对自身风险承受能力的清醒认知,以及日复一日的纪律执行。掌握这些,方能在市场的潮起潮落中,构建起坚实的盈利基础。
