Euan Sinclair

Euan Sinclair is a professional options and volatility trader with over two decades of experience, having worked at hedge funds and proprietary trading firms. His books "Volatility Trading" and "Option Trading" are considered among the most rigorous practitioner-level references on options, covering implied volatility modeling, volatility surface dynamics, and real-world trade construction. Sinclair approaches options with a quantitative, edge-focused mindset, emphasizing the importance of having a statistical edge rather than relying on directional opinion. His work is widely referenced by professional options desks. His insistence on basing options trading decisions on measurable statistical edges — rather than market intuition or narrative — has made his books particularly influential among quantitatively oriented traders who want to ground their volatility trading in empirical observation rather than conventional wisdom about market behavior.
