I don`t believe that particular reports change market, but believe that economy is primary figure so is the long-term market sentiment. Putting this way reports are secondary and their readings and intensity bring the picture which has ben already established in economy. This is not about how...

For ES select Futures, for options select FutOpt.

OK, when I saw your post I thought to myself "as for typical beginner psycho-trader the man has damn good knowledge. Well, exceptions confirm the rule". But if it was not a joke, I wouldnt bother with reading you any more.:)

Phil, it is also advisable to look over adjustment strategies for naked options, the same as you do with Verticals ? They are risky, but very few traders sell them directly and wait. All others establish hedge positions, convert them, adjust etc. Also - naked puts are not the same as...

This is the issue: http://www.futuresmag.com/library/2006/06/0606_toc.html Unfortunately I have no link to this article without subscription/registration.

Im just getting tired of useless discussions, such waste of time and energy. Whoever wants to use it, he`s welcome. Im currently on business trip, will give you link later on.

In June "Futures" article "The options dilemma" comparing SPX options vs. ES. If someone pointed that out before - sorry, I recently have had no time to follow the thread post by post. If someone don`t like the article - do not shoot me with your sarcasm please. Just dont read it.

Due to recent action I had no choice and now I am pretty well loaded with EWs (over 200 contracts). On Friday I adjusted whole position and fills were not bad at all, nothing to say about speed of filling, which was very impressive. There was a rocky road at the beginnig, but hopefully it...

Do you know anything about it ?

Take a look and see now. Now all looks good, even spreads have got improved. Thanks ktm for MMing the market.

ktm, thanks for warning. Unfortunately I`m in and having the same experience. It is still too early though. I`l try to to cover them with July series if June expires if necessary, but so far it`s safer to stay with ol` ES.

Phil, Could you disclose what return you could realize on VIX options ? One thing was verified positively during this correction; your choice of instrument for disaster scenario protection. In fact interest rates were not helpful this time at all, whereas VIX jumped up nicely although...

Aardvark, I believe this might be one of the fastest growing products (a least I hope so). In fact I can see a lot of interest in Europe as well. For CTA and CPO it is a must. One of the most time consuming operations was holding old series into new month. Do not look too far - the most...

Spreads got friendly. 1-2 points, OTM included that`s better than SPX ? I love them already :)

Oooops. But there are still some ATM quotes in size of 10 ? Actually, I don`t worry about assignment neither. I get worry about many things however when I come to some places on ET too often.LOL.

Since I`ve been trading for living I use little different approach to S&P, which might be wrong but it works and I personally believe it`s true. I mean sentiment is primary and reports are secondary. There is no way to quantify reports yet, but through years of trading you may see that bad...

Right. I`ve been actually quite surprised that such product has such poor advertising. Good news is however, that selling OTMs gives you about same results as for ES, so the catch is about longs but for buying we can still use old ES, can we ? Shorts may stay as they are European, and the...

Got quotes. So far....spreads are killing.
