Books like Volatility trading + CD-ROM by Euan Sinclair

In *Volatility Trading*, Sinclair presents a clear, quantitative model for measuring volatility that equips option traders with an edge in everyday market activity. He explains core concepts such as option pricing, volatility estimation, hedging strategies, money management, and trade evaluation in an accessible style. Beyond numbers, the book explores how psychological biases and behavioral psychology shape market conditions, offering traders ways to exploit these effects while avoiding common pitfalls. Sinclair emphasizes the importance of defining clear, concise goals, understanding statistical edges, and staying informed about news and sector trends. He also discusses practical aspects—trade sizing based on projected return and risk, the necessity of good execution software, a supportive working environment, and adequate rest—highlighting that knowledge remains the ultimate source of advantage. The accompanying CD-ROM supplies spreadsheets for volatility forecasting, trade evaluation, and simulation engines to reinforce the concepts taught.
