What we collect (almost nothing), and how advertising cookies work on this site.
OptionsWizard is a static educational website. We don't run user accounts, logins, newsletters, comment sections, or contact forms — so there's very little here that could identify you.
Directly: none. We don't ask for or store your name, email address, or any other personal data. Our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) may record standard server logs — such as IP addresses and browser types — that are technically necessary to serve the pages. That's their infrastructure logging, not our database; we have no access to it and build no profiles from it.
To keep this site free, we display advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners (including DoubleClick) may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other websites — this is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
We don't currently use web analytics tools. If that changes, this policy will be updated.
Links to third-party websites (for example, Google's policy pages) are governed by those sites' own privacy policies, not this one.
This is a general-audience educational resource about financial markets. It is not directed at children under 13, and we knowingly collect nothing from anyone.
We may update this policy as the site evolves — for example, when advertising is activated. The current version is always the one on this page.

The books and desk gear behind this site. No courses for sale here — just the tools.
The options bible. Natenberg explains volatility, pricing models, and how market makers actually think — from basic spreads to advanced volatility trading. If you only read one book on options, this is it. Dense but readable, and every serious trader I know has a worn copy.

The encyclopedia of options strategies. McMillan documents every spread, hedge, and combination in exhaustive detail with real-world examples and risk graphs. It's the reference you reach for when building or dissecting any position. Not a cover-to-cover read — a lifetime desk companion for strategy builders.

The Greeks, finally made practical. Passarelli translates delta, gamma, theta, and vega from textbook math into trading decisions — when to be long gamma, how theta really decays, what vega means for your P/L. The perfect companion to this site's Greeks page, written by a former market maker.
