About Simon Hertz

Simon Hertz writes the Hertz Trading Books series: practical, defined-risk frameworks for options traders who want a repeatable process instead of noise.

Each book takes one structure and works through it the way a trading desk would: what the position is really exposed to, how to set risk rules before entry, how to manage it across multiple expiration cycles, and when to adjust or close. The emphasis is on clear rules and worked reasoning, not predictions or hype.
