Ok. Let's just get straight to the point. Anyone here knows the formula to calculate the omega of an option?

that's as good as not answering the question. of course i know there are many variables and i do know that as you get closer to ITM, the drop in IV will cause a drop in the options price, offseting its rise due to delta. but there have to be an approximate formula that takes into account...

I'm trying to set up a synthetic binary play. If it reaches a certain level above current market place before the options expire, i get double my money. Otherwise, i lose all.

if you are as smart as what your mom tells you, why don't you tell us the leverage formula?

Both vega + delta are factors that describes the change of the option price. So should I factor in vega when trying to find the options with the highest gearing?

It's not necessary true that the further you go OTM, the greater the leverage. I thought so too previously but practical experience prove otherwise. For eg. if I want to buy a SPY call option that have the highest leverage, which one should I buy? http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=SPY

I'm talking about options for SPY

i'm trying to find the options contract that has the highest gearing/leverage (i.e. it will change the most % wise for each unit movement in the underlying) How do I find that one particular option contract? Do I just find the contract with the max delta/price? How about vega and other...

I wish to read the merger closing and financing conditions for SIRI and BSC. I can't seem to find it in EDGAR. Where can i access them?

i don't know what's the purpose of this post. If this post is supposed to support the fact that autotrading need not be regulated by SEC, i'm sorry you have failed badly. The references you used have already proved that SEC is not happy with newsletter publishers who mention anything to do...

Sorry dude. that bs ain't gonna convince the SEC for someone has tried it and failed. http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/content/Settlement.html Let me quote: We didn’t charge our subscribers extra. And we did not accept compensation of any kind from the brokers. Our role was to let...

you're nuts. Nobody's complaining about the legalities of allowing users to subscribe to the C2 portfolios. The key issue here is whether the portfolio publishers need to get registered if they wish to allow autotrading on their portfolio.

as far as i'm concerned, i think the following is the real deal: You do not need to register in order to publish trading signals in a newsletter. But if you wish to allow autotrading of the newsletter, you have to get registered.
