WHAT TO LOOK FOR

The perspective.

Natenberg develops the relationship between an option's price and the variables that affect it. Work the examples rather than merely memorizing the names of sensitivities. The practical goal is to understand how a position can change even when the underlying price moves less than expected, and why a static payoff picture is incomplete.

Who this book suits

Readers comfortable with options fundamentals who want a deeper grasp of valuation and risk.

READ WITH A QUESTION IN MIND

Take these into the margins.

  1. 01

    Which variable drives the position's largest sensitivity?

  2. 02

    How do time and volatility interact with the price move?

  3. 03

    What assumptions are embedded in the pricing model?

Context & editions

Models simplify markets and do not remove liquidity, execution, financing, or jump risk.
