Rtrader Liquidity is not bad if you are doing naked calls or very simple spreads (call or put vertical spreads). Im sure it gets a little hairy when you want a quote on a butterfly or condor though.........

civeratrading I do believe that due to the herd liquidation caused by higher feed prices we will see continued pressure on hogs. However with corn looking like it could put in at least an intermediate term top here I think front month hogs could catch a bid and we have seen that so far today...

My dad makes me work a job every summer (says its good for me and teaches me how hard the average guy has to work for his dollar). Anyway I work from 5:30pm-3:30am most nights........so I get home around 4am go to bed until 7am trade until 1:30pm and then try to catch a few hours of sleep until...

I am in talks with a few firms who are floor based and I am in talks with them about a clerking job on the floor next year. I have a few questions though for my personal options trading benifit and to be more well rounded when I step into the pit. If there is anybody on et that has either...

Anybody here trading options on hogs, cattle, feeders? I am bidding for a auggie 112/116 call spread in auggie feeders today. Thinking about putting on a 74/70 p 1x2 ratio spread in auggie hogs. Whats everybody else doing or thinking about doing?

Something wrong with my cbot treasury order books????? Switching over to schatz before it gets too dull.......wow this really makes me realize how much it sucks to only have a 5 deep book. Probably call it quits here pretty quick......made some money so can't complain..........so good...

Covered 16.5........little early but I have resistance up here and I think we could see some weakness especially with dow trying to find support to pop........stay tuned

stock market starting to act really weak.....we couldn't hold the trendline.......im out for a scratch on my short in 10yr and went long at 13.5

Long time no see everybody!!! :D 10yr looking profitable today.......im short at 12.5 looking 111.295 before its all over today. Dow looks like it could get a pop and 10yr is acting weak.

LOL its funny cause its true!!!! Congrats man on your first trade in coffee and picking up a few bucks. Its a wild market and is not for the faint of heart. Speaking of coffee i'm getting kinda anxious to buy some put spreads in sep coffee here. All Friday was just stop running........when...

As one guy said "Its not that life is so short, its just that when your dead your dead for so long"

optionscoach could you further explain this? Would he buy the extra calls or puts right at the wings of the fly or further away from the fly? How would this effect your breakeven points on the fly? Thanks YT

Trying to get some 130/120 sep put spreads in coffee for 2.50. Locals got a .40 spread in that trade so I don't want to pay up for it. Hopefully coffee will pop here and I can get filled.

Sorry but there is hardly any educational material on spreads.......pretty much just learn how the market moves fundamentally and trade them.

If any of you have ever read Market Wizards the option trader they interview made most of his money off of buying butterflies and then purchasing deep OTM calls and puts for protection against a huge move against his butterfly......seems like this would be a pretty good stratagy to focus on but...
