fixed it for you

YES!!!!

those options don't expire until the print. you can hedge with futures as long as you plan on covering your futures on the cash opening. it can get messy since the print can end way out of line compared to where the futures had been trading.

i was drawing a blank. i forgot they are on the cfe.

actually, i think one chicago or whatever that trades the vix fut would be a better fit.

i missed the expiration part. but that makes your strangle and straddle worthless from the beginning. that's why i think you are looking for a futures type product. i think like the vix future and not the vix options. that gives you vol exposure, no greeks, etc., however you can't really...

if you want exposure to only the front month or 2nd month vol. only, you are asking for a future on the stock's vol. or a vix style future. there is no need to have somebody quoting you a straddle and 15 different strangles to give you this exposure. how does your contract expire? it needs...

why don't you just roll your position? that's what everybody else has to do.

some of what you might be looking for may come from the cboe on twitter. i think they mention some happenings like that. if you and i are trading the same product, i don't need somebody to tell me if vol is going higher or lower right now. we are looking at the same info.

my thought would be to use a buy stop on stock above. i'll refrain from commenting on the poor trading decisions.

everybody uses vol. not vola. i can't even read through all the posts because it is driving me batsh!t crazy. you want a vix style future on every equity, right? to give you exposure to vol, but not have to deal with delta nor gamma? so if you want to make a clear vega bet, you could go to...

SET is just a ticker symbol for the opening print calculation.

if the first day of the month is a friday, you count it as one of the weeks. the cboe publishes a calender with the expiration dates on it. i'm sure it's on the site somewhere.

i would think you would want to contact somebody like prebon and have them get you some quotes. i don't know what sort of min. size they need.

it amazes me how many people have been jumping on the OP saying that options are always priced fairly. especially during expiration week. have you people actually ever traded or have you just read books about options? there is no "fair value" like everybody like to believe when comparing...

if you did this with index futures, you could only do it in the serial months. the quarterly options expire into futures, which expire into cash.

SPX expires on the 3rd friday of every month, on the opening prints.

you explained it. they make bearish bets on weak stocks and bullish bets on stronger ones. if the market moves, they are hoping the weaker ones out perform on the downside and the strong ones outperform on the upside if the market rallies. if the market rallies and they make good picks, they...

if you think you are having trouble with short legs getting exercised, you should be more concerned if somebody is giving you free money or are you giving somebody else free money by not exercising the long leg.
