Taking on risk for the sake of risk and entertainment is gambling Taking on risk that comes about from the normal course of doing business is trading.

Hey like think about it I'm giving big clues you people who want the "grail" I try to help but think for yourselves there are low capital good reward way to trade but if you bury your head in sand you will never get anywhere. Sorry to all the good traders but you know what I mean

Yeah you are right, I should have been paying more attention before I posted that. I have looked at doing some overnight scalping offsetting the contract against each other as liquidity become available and trying to gain the Bid/ask spread

From what I recall the contracts are 80% fungible from a cbot stand point. There are four silver contracts and I think you should have them all on the screen, similar to how equity traders have arca, island etc on their screen. Just so I don't get accused of anything I have research...

Just wondering if you know of anyone in the pit who gamma scalps by hedging long options with futures calender spreads? I would think this would work well in the pits because you could do lots of volume with limited risk.

I would be seriously tempted to go west again if you offered FX options. Would you have any interest in helping me scale up long varience versus implied vol strategy?

Well a few ideas Take profit a the previous days high or low Use a projection of the last swing high/swing low Just before round numbers Time of day can be helpful, often runs end around noon eastern, depending on what you are trading, US equity products often reverse at 3:30pm...

http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,1082+TY+all+2008,00.html The cbot web pages is a clear as mud on this. IB says that the options expire May 1st but they usually get the dates wrong on this topic. (And it should be noted that no information is worse than bad information) By my...

By the way jonergan what is the Eurex symbol for the Euro? Or does it trade somewhere else?

I'm thinking of trading these too. Do you think we can all post our fill relative to the market makers bid/ask? Something like "out of the money bid plus 2 ask" so that we can have an idea where to place limit orders.

Eurodollars are based on LIBOR. Libor has a credit component so you are essentially betting that banks "credit ratings" will improve and that banks will be more willing to lend to each other

Well so far today I have sold at 104.395, bought back at 104.365, sold again at .395, bought back at .375, and I have an order in to sell at .395. Just to recap, 3 weeks ago I bought both a 104.40 call and put. The schatz went up so I sold the call at a profit. I then bought a future on a...

Pretty wild stuff there YT. I find scalping schatz pretty difficult between 3am and 1pm eastern. During the other times, the not so regular hours, there are opportunities that I can see. Any how at 1pm to I made a few scalps between 104.395 and .375. Hoping to make a few more in that range...

Well I'm still long a synthetic call, I have made a few adjustments at the wiggle during the open. What does everyone thing the odds are that this schatz will get back up to 104.500 tomorrow? It is still with in the range or am I just hoping and not really playing the odds?

Well I bought schatz at 3:15am eastern at 104.435, looking for 104.495. I think we are still in the range so hopefully I can hold and get the top of the range before my put expires

Okay I'll do my best. I'm looking to buy schatz at 104.405. Hopefully ES going up on quarter end will push bonds down generally. I find the schatz will take queues from ES after 3pm eastern. Hopefully I can scalp out for 3-4 ticks on tomorrows open. I have a long put to limit risk
