Option Strategies for Directionless Markets: Trading with Butterflies, Iron Butterflies, and Condors

Review
"Even if this weren't the only book in existence discussing in detail the purpose and structure of butterflies, condors, and their iron variations, it would likely remain the best. Explanations are clear and concise, and while this isn't a book for complete options novices, one needn't have any prior experience with the strategies discussed. Along with the classic Natenberg book, we consider Option Strategies for Directionless Markets required reading." -- SeekingAlpha.com

"I recommend this book if you trade options for income - its the most complete work on butterflies, and thier variants, including condors, that I've read. Not enough information to start buying butterflies immediately (for example, there's no entry or exit criteria, etc) but alot of background info that will enable you to understand why different strategies work, or to fine tune your own." -- OptionsRopeaDope.com
