Zac T.United KingdomOptions Academy has been truly game-changing for me. It’s really helped focus my investment strategy and develop confidence in a time-tested system that is rooted in risk-management and human psychology. Simon is an incredible teacher who has helped me begin my personal trading journey. I am delighted to report a +167% YTD portfolio return in 2023.
Atul TiwariHong KongHey Simon, hope you are doing well! I am so happy to share my NLV update for the year. I am finishing the year with over 700% return. I can’t thank you enough. I will be writing a small LinkedIn post recommending your teachings and my learnings from the year. It has been a very humbling experience and a very satisfying experience personally for me. I learned amazing things from you this year and I hope the future has the same in store for us. Thanks again 🙂
Sherman YuHong KongSimon Ree is my enlightening mentor in Options Academy. I am very honoured to be one of his inaugural students in the Academy. In this wonderful 6 weeks journey, Simon has shared many of his exceptional insights and practical tips on options trading. It’s actually the correct mindset as a trader and the risk management skillsets which I believe are the most valuable treasure Simon has uncovered for us. I’m glad that one of my recent options trade in NFLX has brought me a 250% profit. Can’t imagine how powerful it could be!

700+ Book Reviews From Readers Worldwide
4.7★★★★★ 715 ratings on Amazon · 83% are five-starThis is the clearest and simplest guide to stock and option trading I have ever read. It de-mystified concepts that had puzzled me, and it gave me clear examples and analogies to illustrate difficult concepts. It makes the whole learning (and trading) process fun. If you’re committed to taking control of your money and building your wealth quickly, there is no better primer. It’s like having one of the world’s top money experts willing to coach you…
I learned technical analysis over 15 years ago, but I’m just now diving into the world of options trading. The Tao of Trading has been a phenomenal guide in helping me make that transition. Whether you’re trading options, stocks, forex, or anything else, this book has something valuable for you. What stood out to me most is how the author dials in a conservative and practical approach, not only to technical analysis, but to options trading as well. It’s…
This book is for options trading. However, even if you don’t trade options, there is still a lot you can learn about emotion control, trading plans, risk management and gain useful trading/market knowledge. I trade forex and I still found it the most constructive book on trading I’ve read so far, so I took a lot from it.
I started looking into trading options as a way to provide additional income. I wanted to learn a skill that would benefit me, now and through retirement. Despite being an intelligent, college educated woman, I always viewed trading as out of my league. Simon’s book provided me with the tools and confidence to give options trading a try. I started earning money right away. As my success continued, I was able to purchase Simon Ree’s Options Academy…
Stop scrolling. Buy this book. Read it in order. Don’t skip ahead. Take notes. Don’t overcomplicate. Start trading.
I struggled as a beginner with all the typical mistakes. One such mistake was flip flopping between strategies, timeframes and indicators constantly thinking I’d magically figure out why my profits were so inconsistent. Then I read Simon’s book and it really struck a chord. I read it multiple times, took notes and decided I was going to follow it religiously. He gives a lot of fundamental knowledge including risk management and trading psychology, and…
I am generally cynical about investment publications that purport to unlock the ‘market’s code’ and such like, mainly because I have been a financial markets professional for 25 years, so I am well aware of the industry’s propensity to overpromise and underdeliver. But Simon has written a fantastic book here. His easygoing writing style certainly helps when articulating some of the more complex concepts and he does deliver on his promise to set out one of…
I’ve read many books on trading, but if I had to recommend just one book, it would be this one. Well written, concise, filled with valuable information, engaging, and inspiring! I’ve given this book to my wife to read and she too is really enjoying it. Simon’s methods are easy to follow and I’m looking forward to backtesting them.
Unlike other books loaded with theories, this is by far the most practical trading book written. It is written for price action and trend traders (not day traders). Not many authors talk about their trading setups or screening criteria, but Ree has revealed his methods and kept it honest, as I have tried his method, and it works great in a trending market. Highly recommend this book for pullback/swing traders.
Written in plain, simple English without financial jargon. To say it is better-written than Technical Analysis for Dummies is an understatement. A must-read for all aspiring traders regardless of trading knowledge or experience
It’s a MUST for anyone’s library. Whether you are an experienced trader who wants to reflect on the ‘Tao of Trading’, or you are just learning about it, this book is a phenomenal read. I will order more as a gift.
In The Tao of Trading, Simon Ree has managed to address all of the significant issues I’ve had with other trading books whilst simultaneously backing up and expanding on some of my own personal thoughts and ideas… providing a complete methodology and process map to enable readers to immediately implement his strategy. Over the years I have traded equities, indices, forex and cryptocurrencies, using almost every instrument available (with the exception…
Actionable! Inspiring! Lucidly explained. A must read This book is literally life changing in terms of the paradigm shift it brought in my approach to and results in trading. Post reading this book, I feel confident (not over) in terms of my approach to trading. Helped me build the right mental frameworks around trend identification, stock scanning, option spread strategies and most importantly RISK MANAGEMENT. Not only have I benefited financially…
This is the best book on trading I ever read. The author uses simple language instead of overcomplicating with the use of technical terms, whenever it is possible. Additionally, he provides many analogies, why it is not hard to read even if it’s a textbook and not a novel. This book provides new insights and expresses an alternative way of approaching the markets aiming to first, manage your risks appropriately and second, to get financial returns in all…
I was literally blown away by this book! The author describes how to easily generate a consistent cash flow, so relevant in these turbulent times. It’s written in a way that new traders can easily comprehend too. A powerful tool for managing risk. All in all, a GEM of a book, giving us an incredible journey across the stock market.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Engaging and easy to follow. Simon does a fantastic job of distilling what he knows in a straightforward manner. I have read it twice now and will be reading it again which is the best way to learn for something I’m interested in. I’m sure I’ll keep reading it over and over again to help me in my trading journey.
This book is one of the few books that is a must read for Options trading. While most of the books are describing the various option strategies, this one has specific steps to set up the trade and is analytically describing the whole process to take trades. Easy to read and understand, take notes and will be one of your best books for options trading.
I have read so many trading books .This one i will recommend to anyone starting their journey in option trading . Anyone can use the well written content to create profitable trades .I read the Kindle version and ordered a hard copy which will become my book for reference.
Best and simplest book I’ve read on option trading and technical analysis , risk management trading psychology . I feel more equipped to trade options now . Thanks Simon
always been sceptical of ‘trading advice’, especially from books but i read this on the back of a recommendation…it did not disappoint…easily digestible read and more importantly, a step by step guide on how to source, setup, execute strategies…and more importantly, how to risk manage them. Would highly recommend to anyone eager to learn
The book is very well written, easy to understand and plenty with useful informations. This is a must have if you’re starting with trading or want to start. I appreciated particularly Simon ability to go straight to the point without flying around too much. He really has an ability to make topics that are technical very simple. Recommended.
Incredible! I was not expecting to get such a straightforward guide to trading the markets in any direction. I have stumbled around with trading in the past but this book opened my eyes to the power of trading options in a relaxed and patient way. I also love that Simon talks about mindset, breathing, and abundance which are all super important things to eliminate self-limiting beliefs. Highly recommend you read this!
This is an excellent book that is written in a practical way. Trade setups are explained very clearly and this can be replicated with ease. Simon is also introducing some market fundamentals in an easy way to digest and remember.
This book is really helping me to realise that you should invest your time in learning a skill that can make you free from investment banks and from a job you don’t like.
That’s the best book of trading I read by far. It provides a real practhical method for options trading with a clear and simple language. Super recommended.
So, I assume most of you who are reading this review are like me, meaning I am not a “professional” trader by training i.e. I did not study it in school, I never worked on a trading desk for a bank or a broker dealer or a hedge fund, or on the floor of an exchange. I didn’t go to the right school and I never had any connections. Thus I have had to learn to trade through the old fashioned school of hard knocks over the past 20 years, simply by doing…
As Chief Investment Officer of a multi-strategy fund, a large part of my role is assessing trading strategies to evaluate whether they have a clear, systematic framework of trade selection and risk-management. As anyone who has ever traded will attest, it’s extremely difficult to a) be profitable on a consistent basis, and b) to not become too emotionally involved. In order to stay in the game long-term without major blow-ups it’s vital to have a proper…
Well written, organized, and informative. Simon’s book is written in a way that is accessible to newcomers, but I’ve been trading for a couple of decades and learned plenty of new things. Simon obviously is an astute trader with a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’m not sure why he’s willing to share it with us, but I’m not asking why. I wish that my neighbor, who lost 50% of his portfolio in a market correction, would have read this book. And, I wish…
This book is my first read on trading and I was not expecting such great content. The book is easy to read for me to finish it in just two days. Simon has its way of conveying an idea. This book will not only give you insight on options trading but also equip you with the correct mentality in pursuing a trading journey. This journey will be daunting but rewarding. The Tao of Trading is the book you NEED to read if you wish to make MONEY. 100% Worth IT.
