"We are great at mathematics but lack your kind of expertise and we are trying to merge both for an automated Market Maker platform acting in milliseconds and exposing OTC options in a new type of electronic market place. We have everything related to our work finished after 9 years of research and development and are left with some bits and pieces. Your knowledge is absolutely the best I have ever come in touch with related to options and especially its hidden realities."

"Charles Cottle's book is required reading for the serious options
trader. You'll never look at options the same way again. Learn to think like a
seasoned floor trader. Options Trading: Three Dimensional."
by Joseph Sellito, Director, Retail
Derivatives, E*Trade Securities LLC (at time of Book release)
"Charles Cottle, aka the Risk Doctor, is one of the smartest folks in
the business. I wish there were more people in our industry as smart as you.
It would make my job a lot easier".
by Alex Jacobson, Vice President,
Education, International Securities Exchange (ISE)
'Charles explains strategies and risk in ways that most traders today have
never imagined. If you're managing an options position by deltas, gammas,
vegas, and thetas alone, Charles shows that imperfections in the models hide
certain risks. A trader must understand his or her position beyond the popular
measures of risk'
by Thomas R Preston, thinkorswim.com
"Studying with Charles is a lot like learning from your father: He'll
challenge you constantly, always telling you what you need to hear,
and all the while you'll never question whether he's holding anything back or
his commitment to your ultimate success. Short of training on an actual
trading floor, there's simply no better way to learn, and few, if any, more
qualified to teach."
by John D., RiskDoctor Coaching Clinic student
Charles, I must confess, you are awesome. The light bulb has gone on for me
and I am humbled and grateful.
Thanks for sharing your hard work and knowledge with us.

"I am in the process of reading your book that I found very
interesting and surely the best book I have ever had on options. It is exactly
what I was searching for; it is so far from the Hull and others "full of
formulas" books I have been through . I take so much pleasure while
reading it and sometimes so much pain when I realize the mistakes I was doing
while trading."
by Anthony S., FRANCE
"Find me the top 10 experts on Options trading strategies, and they
won't be able to teach their system as effectively as the Risk Doctor, Charles
Cottle. Charles is the real deal, an expert trader that has moved off the
floor and now wants to share his knowledge with other traders. I own Charles'
books, have attended his seminars, and have helped him with his marketing. He
is dedicated, honest and committed to his students' success. I strongly
recommend Charles to anybody wanting to improve their options trading."by Steve Rosenbaum
"Charles, Just want you to know these RDCC sessions are fantastic!
Continually illuminating! Thanks!"
by Dr. Murray W., New York
Hi Charles,
I just want to let you know I think your book is great. It has already
helped me adjust a trade, albeit simplistically, to capture profit, so in that
respect it has paid for itself. Though I first started reading about options
sometime back, I did not really start to get an education in them until
recently.
Your book was a BIG step forward, very enlightening. At some point I would
like to take your seminars, but before doing that, I want to work through your
book several times and use the material on your forums to get a better
understanding of the concepts you present.
Thanks for the great site and book.
by Charles W, Pennsylvania
"Charles I am at [competitor's event]:
It is in events like these that my Respect & Admiration for you
Escalates.
I become aware, once again, of how far you have taken us. I feel a sense of
gratitude for all your efforts.
Thank you Charles.
Henry"

Charles,
Your book, Options Trading: The Hidden Reality", is a book that will
accompany me to the heavens some day (hopefully!).
I do not exaggerate when I say that the book is an "Options Talmud".
It adds to the inner, the core understanding of the very financial concept in
general, not to the usual "whats and whens", but to the very elusive
hows and most importantly - whys.
by Alex C, Nevada, TSAASF Attendee
I sincerely enjoyed this primer on synthetics and am finally getting how
the knowledge could be beneficial. Thanks so much for sharing it with people!
by Daren D, Illinois
I am going through RD2 and up through hour No. 12. I thought I was
moderately educated on options but this has improved my knowledge 10 fold.
Perhaps add another zero on that. GREAT INFO.
by Greg D, RD2 Customer
'Since I have been a derivatives trader, there is no one who has given me
as many ideas about trading concepts as the author of Options: Perception and
Deception. Besides teaching me new ways to scrutinize positions and their risk
profiles, Charles Cottle taught me how to learn from the markets. This book
provides the reader with deep insights into options trading. It is exciting,
inspiring, and far from being dry.'
