A comprehensive resource for understanding and trading weekly options
Weekly options are traded on all major indices, as well as high volume stocks and ETFs. They continue to surge in popularity, accounting for as much as twenty percent of daily options volume.

Filled with the practical, real-world insights of author Russell Rhoads, an expert in this field
Created with both the experienced and beginning option traders in mind, this book and video package will help you make the most of your time trading weekly options.
