Praise for Trading Options to Win " Johnston has put together a very thorough work on futures options, and many stock option traders would learn something from this book as well. I especially like his reliance on expected returns and probability to choose the best trade to make." – Lawrence G. McMillan, President, McMillan Analysis Corp. bestselling author, Options as a Strategic Investment and Profit with Options " Entirely different from any other book on options, thank goodness. I fall asleep immediately and without fail after opening a book on options, but not this time. [This book is] readable in one or two sittings with fascinating cases that really illustrate the principles. It may be a delusion, but I think I understood most of Trading Options to Win. Some chapters on specific strategies I will definitely be reading again and trying to use in my own trading." – Barbara Rockefeller, founder, Rockefeller Treasury Services author of The Global Trader and CNBC 24/7 Trading " Stuart Johnston’ s Trading Options to Win is an intelligent, literate, and informative description of the many ways to trade options that also explains why these trading strategies work.
