As long as people continue to confuse their opinions with actual facts on how things work I guess I'll continue to post the actual facts. have a nice day!

I think that manager can market anything he likes, but making it profitable is another story. There is a lot of action on the SPX puts vs VIX call strategies these days but selling puts and managing them with futures is essentially trading the futures and trying to make a little extra by...

There are a few problems in trying to hedge far out of the money puts on the SnP500. for the purposes of this question lets assume you trade options on the SPX index and use the future as the hedge, since that’s what’s used at the hedge in the real world. The problem with the puts is that...

dunit its not legal. i would tread carefully yuo'd be opening yourself up to legal action. Brandon ROFLMAO

You mean if you bot the company the deal is self finaced? I am shocked you cant find any deals like that out there say its not so

Who would even pay for that?

Totally legal, what law would you be breaking? You may get your ass sued when they lose money. Why would you do this in the first place? Oh and you cant charge for it

Yup and it’s not just here it’s on all boards. some people just cant handle the anonymity of the internet, they feel so emboldened by the fact they can hide behind their computer and toss stones, and they finally feel good about themselves and feel like they’re getting the respect and...

I could be mistaken but I dont believe you can ask for a flex option out 10 years... Interesting though... and I surely could be could be wrong. As far as the 'edge" goes thats very very subjective on a 10 year option the magnitude of time on the other variables is HUGE and the edge may be...

There are always natural buyers of puts in the market place which Scria already eluded to. Large firms buy vast numbers of index puts which creates the volatility skew and then those firms who sell them need to hedge that risk so they disperse the risk by buying puts in other areas of the...

I posted some info about these trades on another thread. These trades were all crossed, the same HUGE options firm is on both sides of the trades and there was NO or tiny open interest in those strikes before those trades. I a lot of people in the business started poking around once those...

I dont believe you can request an option 10 years out 99% sure. The simple fact is that no one would make you a market in it. There was NO open interest in these strikes before those trades so that argument is moot. These trades peaked a lot of interested from a lot of industry insiders...

I am just reposting some FACTS that I did earlier so no n00b that stumbles across this thread is confused by incorrect opinions that one individual posted. Have a nice day :-)

asp if he was short vega i AUG he probably didn't do well unless he could hold it through the huge vol spike and manage the negative gamma from the short vega.

Dons right the correct hedge for the SPX is the long dated future also. If you buy the long dated deep puts at what appears to be a discount to intrinsic value then to hedge the delta risk you buy the future so the cost to carry is in the future which off sets the perceived discount in the puts.

They were call spreads so technically is like buying the put spread but its no big deal. All of those trades were crossed bye one firm to itself to move them to different accounts

Read it again you didn’t understand it. You’re a retail customer and yes your bids and offers must be posted. The majority of the business in that pit which are 25 lots and greater are not retail orders they’re “firm” or “bd” meaning they’re institutional order flow and therefore...

The market does not have to fill other orders on the price of your order. If you split the bid offer spread and if that series trades on your price then you get your 1 or 2 lot. If the market going in on a particular a call series you want to trade was 19 bid... offered at 23 and you bid 21...

I am sure there are places all over the internet which we all can learn from. What you're preaching here is not part of that universe. But okay I'll bite for the fun of it... How are your 1 and 2 lots costing them big bucks?
