Wow. Very dense book. Serious statistical analysis. This will take awhile to get through. Let's get our resident statisticians to check it out!

Am I looking at wrong book or is it now over 100$?

down from 150...

Are you sure you've downloaded the entire book? It appears to cost just under $90 for a Kindle edition, at least that's what my link says. There is a free sample, but not the entire book. Unless I'm looking at the wrong link.

These two books were free at the time I posted it. The offer must have expired now as it was a while ago.

Ken,

Thanks again for posting this book offer. Just started going over it. This is exactly what I was looking, a guide to statistical analysis of options strategies. This just proves the education value of this forum. The current price for the book alone could take care of a few months of SO subscription, and what is to be learned from it is even more valuable.

Regards,

Victor

I definitely wish I got in on this offer when it was free. The book is close to $90 now! What type of information are you finding that is useful?

So far, I've covered about 10% of the book. What the authors do is introduce a methodology to evaluate option strategies on various underlying assets and provide means to compare them. They use various probability distributions to make their estimates. What I find useful is their reasoning related to statistical analysis as it is applied to options markets.
