    Is trading /ym & /es right for me? Noob

    Afterhours in indexes can be slow (of course there are the 10 pt moves but not likely if you are hunting everyday). Take a look at USD/JPY at 7pm open or AUD/USD on an economic announcement, fx has some decent night moves. Not to mention you can start with smaller size in fx, essential...

    S&P micro???

    I read about this on wiki before, never bothered to look for it on the platform though. Dunno if it is the same contract or being reintroduced or something else, but would be cool to hear more info. In June 2005 the exchange introduced a yet smaller product based on the S&P, with the...

    Look Howard, you see your realized p/l results right now and you feel like Charlie Sheen..."WINNING". And this has only been a couple months. There were also a lot of guys who were winning for years from '03/'04 to the crash who thought otm credit spreads were an edge, but it only took a...

    Seriously, I'll go through the thread again to find the innovations and get back to you on that. IMO, what's missing in all the credit spread/iron condor sites on the web and how you could really add value : the underlying. It's never mentioned, because I guess using spot to hedge risks in...

    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    I don't see how you can add any value to the OTM vertical/iron condor debate/discussion and the teaching/selling courses that have emerged on the web since options commissions got cheap and vola slowed after 2002 and gap and crap days in the indexes and people wanted 'easier' ways of making...

    Not that hard to tell he was selling something when he opens every statement with "I trade index option credit spreads". Like it's magic. I also go up to every woman and say "I have penis."

    Would options have different pricing if the market never closed?

    Oanda is open Saturday and Sunday (iirc they are only closed for maintenance friday evening EST), so you can hedge there (if you are in otc fx options or 6E, etc.), in theory. 10 pip spread (maybe a little more) on Eur/Usd on sat thru sunday morning, goes down to 5 pips by 1-2pm EST Sunday (NZ...

    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    I've always wondered if these iron condor strategies that just try to manage 'risk' based on metrics and rules and not on market regime/environment/vola/macroeconomics could actually work. The strategy is real sexy in the details...it reminds me of a girl with lots of makeup, different color...
