Abstract

In this section, I will address the risk management of options dealing and using a popular computer risk analysis programme, help the reader see how option market makers evaluate and control the risks of their portfolios. In addition, I will show the reader how to use the analytics generated by risk analysis programmes to choose the best options trading strategy.
