Hi, I’m looking for a good book on options trading that would be good for a rookie / first timer but not be too basic that it would be worthless soon. Something that covers the basics but also goes into the more advanced parts. I’m interested in more than just calls, using puts to protect stocks I already own is what i’m trying to understand better. Sometimes I feel like a well written book is better than all the info on the internet for some reason. The book would ideally also cover many of the rookie to advance strategies of options. As i’m starting to see a combo of stock purchases and option purchases could be more beneficial to me. I’m a quick learner and just getting into trading stocks. Last 2 months already earned myself a 17% realized increase!

FYI: I already have this book and its great!

I haven’t traded a single option yet. I’ve gotten close to doing it. At this point I am granted access for level 2 option trading. I’m sure I could get higher that is just what I asked for at the moment to stop me from possibly getting too far over my head.
