Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (5th Edition)
John C. Hull

Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (5th Edition) - image

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 3460

A classic
(Chicago, IL USA) May 1, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars

Hull's text is the definitive text on futures and options. The book provides the basis for understanding the underlying principles for valuing derivatives intstruments.

Since the text is academic and theoretical in nature, the book is geared towards graduate business school students and Wall Street professionals (and maybe only those working on trading/research desks).

For the day-trading crowd, you will not find any specific discussions about trading strategies that make money.

Instead, you will be enriched with a fundamental understanding of derivatives pricing --- from there you can try to earn your riches.
