Synopsis

Options trading interviews are not really about memorizing formulas. They are about whether you can think clearly under pressure, reason from first principles, and stay composed while someone asks you to do simple arithmetic as if the fate of the financial system depends on it.

This book is built around the kinds of questions that actually come up in options trading interviews. It starts with payoff intuition and the way interviewers tend to think, then moves through plain vanilla options, put call parity, arbitrage bounds, implied versus realized volatility, Greeks, hedging tradeoffs, spreads, volatility surface intuition, and practical market making scenarios. The goal is not just to help you recite definitions, but to help you understand how traders think about risk, uncertainty, and positioning in real markets.

Whether you are aiming for a role in market making, volatility trading, or a more general derivatives seat, this book is designed to help you build the intuition and confidence needed to handle the conversation well when the questions stop being theoretical and start becoming practical.
