This book is really a handbook for Option Trading. This is Not a book for Blind option selling since most of the strategies contained in the book assumes that the Stock has to be bought first and then the trade adjustments for hedging and speculating.

Detailed analysis of hedging has been provided in different strategies.

Excellent reference for the options trader, especially good in providing “trade adjustment strategies” to augment you plays. I will keep this as a handy reference.

If you trade options, one of the things you need to know sooner or later is how to adjust your position. The book contains some good ideas on when & how to adjust various positions and when it's best just to get out. Usable information, not just theory. I have not read the sections about trades that I have not studied in depth yet.
