Cartoon: the mentor ponders a chessboard with his chin in his hand while a student watches with a red book under her arm, titled Sinclair, Where the Edge Is.

Most options books tell you how a spread works. This one tells you why it should make money, and when it will not. Sinclair traded as a market maker, then wrote for the rest of us: people who put on a position and hold it for weeks. It is the evidence behind our whole approach.

Time to read About 10 hours, Ten short chapters and three appendices.. Math: Statistics, Averages, distributions, a Kelly formula. Readable without a degree..
