Hey guys, quick question: if given only call delta and put delta separately, how would calculate straddle delta? Would you subract the call delta from the put delta? Also, how would calculate vol. if you only had the separate call and puts vols as well - would you average them?

I've noticed the same thing and would be curious to know why the options volume is nonexistant comapered to the futures. Give the volume in the futures, you'd think they're be more action in the options?? I know COMEX options pits are still open, so not sure what the deal is? Is there a...

I've always been interested how the trade in copper and other base metals works. I know precious has quite good liquidity via COMEX/CBOT, but from my research copper looks quite thin both on daily volume and OI. Is it possible to day-trade HG or is this more a position-traders market? Where...

Question for the folks with historical charts that go back to inception: anyone know when NYMEX launched their natural gas futures contract? Was talking with a friend about Enron and that their natural gas desk started offering hedging services back in the early 90s and that NYMEX launched...

Damnit!! Thanks guys, apologies for the stupid post...not sure what's wrong with my google, unless they're "unlisted". Sorry again. http://searchpoint3.com/search.php?q=trading%20technologies%20x-trader

Anybody know if anything is wrong over at TT? Did a google search looking for info. on x-trader and a demo (haven't been on the website in a while), and am getting weird search results? Is it just their website is down, maybe. Did TT get bought/sold? Can't imagine it went belly up? Is anyone...

I agree, wholeheartedly. And I also believe than an Obama victory would lead to a quicker recovery. If McCain gets elected, there will be a lot of seriously-depressed Americans who will only exacerbate the recession by continuing to make recessionary or depression-like proclamations to the...

Not sure it's such a bad thing, to be honest. Maybe they can make it a temporary 60 to 90 day moratorium. Don't flame me, but the only reason I say this is because of these CDO mothers. Do you guys know what these CDO traders were doing?? They were buying these CDO swaps and shorting the...

Just out of curiousty, not sure if someone's asked or answered already, but how much does the full CQG suite cost, roughly? Per month? Including charting and streaming news? I'm a current reuters user and have a package setup specifically for commodities (energy), but also includes FX and...

Just got an email today from amazon. com about the "The New Market Wizards" book from Schwager, 2008 edition. Does anyone know if its materially different or updated from the 1994 version, or is this just a hardcover? Tried googling and searching, and from what I can tell looks like the latter...
