I aim to keep the writing clear, structured, and practical. That means:

  • breaking complex market moves down into simple narratives;
  • recording the reasoning behind each trade, not just the outcome;
  • reflecting honestly on both successes and mistakes.

A working knowledge of options will make these notes easier to follow. If you are new to derivatives, these classics are a good place to start:

  • John C. Hull, Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives
  • Sheldon Natenberg, Option Volatility & Pricing
  • Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Dynamic Hedging
  • Euan Sinclair, Volatility Trading

If you are curious about how I think about options markets and trading discipline, I hope these notes resonate, and perhaps spark a few ideas of your own.
