    Futures or Options - which is better?

    Here's my another concern. Future: If I buy future, every point I gain will go into my pocket (after transaction costs). The same applies if it goes against me. Option: A change of 1 pip in future does not guarantee a change of 1 pip in option. I expect it should never has a change...

    Futures or Options - which is better?

    Sorry, what is outlier gap / back swans? Is there any difference from the overnight gap I mention above? Hmm... the reasoning sounds right, but it's not really. Think about it: But if I follow your reasoning, then no call/option is cheap or expensive. If it were true that the call was...

    Futures or Options - which is better?

    It's what I originally thought. But I once heard that, say, if the future price moves against you by 1 pip, you may lose half a pip on option. However if the future price moves in your favour by 1 pip, you can 1 pip gain. It seems it's to do with whether option is in- or out-the-money. It...

    Futures or Options - which is better?

    To decide whether an option or future is favourabe, I think I need to consider: - how large the gap is next day. Normally it can be about 1XX-3XX pip large. - how much the premium is - how large the spread is for both future & option Any more ideas? Time factor favours seller, not...

    Optionetics: Good or Bad ?

    $3000. It must be kidding! :eek: What they teach is just bookish knowledge where you can get them cheap in libraries, bookshops. If you can read, learn by yourself and save $2950 or more! You can't grasp things fast in just a few days. You are just wasting your money.

    Are most traders married?

    This is me. I wish I could discuss trading with my family, but my family are just "sheeps" in markets. Markets, to my parents, are the biggest scam (but legal) in the world - a place to pump people's money into sharks. The only thing my family/relative discuss is how to persuade me out...
