Managing and Reducing Risk with Options

Michael C. Thomsett

Chapter Chapter 2 in Options for Risk-Free Portfolios, 2013, pp 33-61 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most traders acknowledge that options market risks are potentially high and come in many forms, unique to that market. However, the nature of risk is widely misunderstood as well. For the options market, several key risk discussions beyond the inherent market risk and short side risk potential need to be discussed. This lays the groundwork for a majority of options strategies and may also help traders to appreciate on a deeper level the range of risk issues they face.
