    Description of Option Market Making

    Every day, market makers account for half a billion dollars in the option trade, bringing liquidity and stability to the commodity, bond, currency, stock, and futures options markets by being ready to buy or sell some quantity of any option at a specified price. The width of the bid/asked price spread determines the market maker's profit. But, if it's just buy-low sell-high what's the big mystery?

    Option risk is more complex and comes in more varieties than most other investment risks. That's why traders, speculators, hedgers, scalpers, and market makers everywhere will draw considerable understanding and profit from this first book length guide to market making. Inside you'll find valuable information and tips.

    Provides an insider's insights on the complexities of the option market maker's world. In this increasingly competitive arena, 'Option Market Making'gives you the tools you need to beat the odds - and make the trade.
