Show Notes

Guy Cohen was interviewed by John Lothian of John Lothian News about how he found his way to the markets, about his best selling options books, which are on every trader's shelves, and on the Options Volatility Indicator, a patented tool to help traders make sense of position-building options activity. 

His options software won a tender competition from Euronext-Liffe for a white label version, which was a big move for the company. Even bigger was when NYSE bought out Euronext, making NYSE Euronext his software company's client. Cohen's software and options work is used by many well-known traders. He spoke with us about how traders use it and why some information is better than other information. 

He has also worked with Nasdaq and ISE. 

Cohen is also working to establish his own hedge fund operation to trade using the OVI.
