U.UN on the TSE is both hot short term and a good long term play.

I don't have access to AUD/NZD futures or Forex. But would long AUD/USD futures and short NZD/USD futures give me the same outcome? I think it can based on something i was told a decade or two ago, but I have forgotten.

As for the chart, does anyone have a quick chart of what a LEAPS call 15 months down the road, and triple the underlying spike price, did during this UVXY spike?

Well, obviously I've pondered this, and thus: 1) I have my position (currently) at about 1% of account 2) I bought a 60 call for a nickle that expires in a few weeks, and I suspect I will continue to buy this insurance if it stays cheap 3) the spike does have a bit of a drum roll to it to give...

Your responses to the previous one gave me lots to think over. And apologies for the lack of data. Here's another one. Naked short LEAPS call on UVXY expiring on 1/23 with a strike of 75 selling for 9.50. Yes, I know the risk here for a vol spike, but considering the time embedded in the...

Not make a profit 19 out of 20 times (35X19=$665) and lose one out of 20 (-$450)?

Hey, I know I risk a ton of snark here, but I'm curious about this OTM bear credit spread: Underlying P = $35 Risking = $450 Expectation of profit based on delta: 95% Questions: 1. What is fundamentally wrong? Rules of thumb I should know? 2. What would be the optimal trade size on a...

I'll take stock.

Thanks for this. A follow up: If someone opens an account today with 10k to get the 1% and then 364 days later plops in, say, another 250k, do they get 1% on the whole amount? And can they close the account a few days after the one year anniversary? If not, when?

The new contact/email system, if you want to call it that, is awful, like support has been abandoned to a forum. A pre-sale move? And if anyone can answer these two questions, I'll post them on here, as I doubt IB will ever get back to me. 1. When do I get my $200? I referred a friend a...

And is Return on Margin useful, really, especially if using portfolio margin?

Isn't it the like 15th anniversary of the blow up? A quick Google search turns up little since settlements in 2012-2014. Dude just sitting home watching hockey and playing with the money he managed to keep somehow?

Thanks.

I may want to get long this cross and don’t want to use FX. So, I was wondering if a brokers offered the futures and options and whether they the volume made it worthwhile, or should I just go long AUD and short NZD.

Will give it a try. Thanks.

I cant figure out how to use this. I typed in UVXY and set a 2018 Sept P/L date assuming that the Jan 2021 LEAP was open then and has since closed. But nothing happens.

I want to backtest for LEAPS issued back in 2018 and since expired or exercised? I want to do this to get as sense of the possible P/L for shorting a far OTM call from issuance to expiration date. UVXY is among the underlyings I'm interested in. Anyone do this? Site, software, service?

Spiking? Perhaps. But closing in 16 months there? C'mon ....
