If you think the market is going down, buy put options. If on the otherhand, you think the market is going up, buy call options. :cool:

i don't know what's more annoying, the cadence of Bitstream's posts, or someone who refers to themselves as 'Wifey'? hmmmm....

not enough choices. I would be a volatility seller here. iow, the market could churn at this level for a while

OMFG ROFLMAO!:D :p :D

Thanks for that link, segv. This paper is fantastic.:)

Futures options are not priced the same way equity options are. You can't just multiply the premium by 100. Futures options are priced by tick value. E.g. COMEX Gold minimum price fluctuation is $0.10 per troy ounce and $10 tick per contract. The June's expire in less than a week, so...

Indeed, very interesting to see what happens. riskarb vs. buzz. Where's Don King when you need him? lol

I wonder if you will be able to sell call options against your spec home(covered call) when the CME starts to launch the housing derivatives next month. How good would that be, buy a house with little or no $$ down and pay for the mortgage from the proceeds of the sale of the call option...

I'm trying to sell some overpriced premium in es options. Is there any liquidity in AH trading globex?

Make sure you bend over and hold your ankles as you place your order.:D Seriously, the silver options are currently accepting market orders only on a not held basis, which means the market makers can fill your order as they see fit. With wide bid/ask spreads, you're most likely to get...

My software is showing the 52.5/55/57.5 june fly using 3330/-6660/3330 contracts for a net debit of $99,990. A pin at 55 on expiry yields roughly $725,000. Do we have a winner?

Another great site to learn about binary options and trade with small capital is www.hedgestreet.com this site is the bombdiggity, mention my name and get free transaction costs for sixty days, $1.50 thereafter. Each option either ends itm worth $10 or it doesn't $0. They are legit and...

yeah, but the may IV is useless imo. when a known news event is just ahead of expiration, near month volatility is VERY misleading, and best ignored. Buyers look more at the dollar amount they are willing to pay for the option(s) and the hope (fear) of a gap move. The marvel vol bidup is...

haha, thx for sharing cnm2s, i had an inclination that thirst was full of it, now i know he is. :(

Osho67- No. copper futes and options are pit traded from 8:10am to 1:00pm(?) est. the futes apparently trade electronic after 2:00pm on some phantom electronic exchange(lol), but the options are strictly pit traded. What other liquid options are you referring to? FA- thx for the response!

Very interesing FA. This type of data seems to be Dr. Jon "J" Najarian's raison d'etre. I was scanning the IQFeed website. I see they have compatible software choices, which one would you recommend to construct a program such as yours? I'm not a huge fan of java, and am not the most technically...

Why don't all those call buyers and sellers take their liquidity to the copper options on the COMEX? Volume and OI are pathetic. That way I can exit my call spread(instead of waiting til june 27 expiry) without being hate fucked on the b/a spread.:(

my NDX puts 1675/1650 are ITM. my risk mngmt self says bite the bullet and close it out. my irrational self says to wait a day or two. who's gonna prevail? ...You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.... :( edit: closed put...
