Pretty good layman's (sort of) book on the technical side of F&O.

John C. Hull has the most widely used text books, if you can wade through one of those. (Undergraduate and well as MBA level)
Or in general, look at what MBA and Financial Engineering programs are using.

 

There's a lot of disagreement on the value of technical analysis; I, for one, am not a big fan.

There's a big difference between understanding the theoretical underpinnings of futures and options pricing, and learning how to trade options (for fun and profit). I agree that one should understand the basics of pricing before beginning to trade - and Hull's a great source - but while that understanding is necessary it is by no means sufficient.

Trading options is risky; be sure that you fully understand what you're doing before you embark.

 

Thanks, will take a look at some Hull books. I was only thinking about profit, but if it's fun too then that's even better.
