No Doubt, stock market prefer IB. This image seems overwhelming.

I've traded DAX and OESX options like you (I'm from Spain) and I'm working ES options now. You can achieve nice trades in Globex ES options too, in an electronic environment. I think this is better from your european perspective. My question is about how do you think to edge your currency...

Look tetha. If IV rise, tetha rise too.

Hi, I'm trading ES Options Spreads with IB and it works pretty good. They assure an absolute legs filling but I don't know how they make it. Perhaps they are working how market makers in this trades filling your spread and hedging with ES futures. I'll wait what you find about it.:) Regards

ES Options

You can roll your hurt leg and keep the other leg intact. Thereby you'll avoid a lot of expenditures. Remember, trading with options is very expensive. Work your mental and emotional conditions too. Dealing with losses can be very hard and increasing your position after a loser trade will...

Pleased to debate with you. :) Fran

Hi Mark, If I have a trade with a 15% probability of loss 500$ and I change it by another with a 50% probability of loss 485$, do you think that my risk is now lesser? I think risk is the result of combining worst scene and the probability associated to this. Maybe is a language...

Apologies, I agree with you about Risk/reward ratio. It was a terminological confusion. What I wanted to express is that risk is the same in both trades. Thanks.

Hi Mark, you have written: "In addition, the risk/reward is always better for the iron condor because you collect more premium." Excuse me but I don't agree with you.:) The risk/reward ratio is theoretically always the same. With IC you collect more premium but you have more risk in your...

Be careful, the probability of winning in the second trade is 0.65x0.70=45.5%.

The question here is what do you think about IV? If you guess that IV is too high and future volatility will be lesser then this is a coherent strategy. Regards

I have just said that sometimes things are not what they seem. Do you really think that information flows freely and that asymmetrical information events never happens? I don't think so. Regards

Arbitrage would not change IV price, it would balance options price between different markets with same underlaying, doing IV motion consistent between these markets. Really I don't know what happened but I'm sure that it was result of a market makers estimation of future volatility. Maybe...

I agree in the main, but I’d add two things. Yesterday, with a S&P decrease of 2.5%, certainly it was significant, IV dropped too. I think it was a break in the IV teory that consider it like a sort of indicator of the market feeling. Today we saw market dropping lightly and IV raising...

Maybe, but today s&p dropped again but this time IV raised. Normality returns. Regards

Mind to hear? :D

S&P500 Index has dropped -2.5% and IV... HAS DROPPED TOO. What do you think about it? Is that a bullish indicator? Thanks in advance.

what about to trade with options on ECBOT futures contracts?

This is not the question. The question is how important are they for you? If you don't know how answer this question maybe you are not ready to trade with options. Regards
