Martinghoul, Was thinking options might be a better way to hedge whilst possibly earning some premium. Just generating ideas atm, think hedging with a fwd might be my end result.

nemakrua, oohh.. more brazzen empty hollow statements with no depth...yawn.. for those who have responded thankyou, will consider all my options :) If anyone else has any thoughts on why statement below won't work, please explain it to me (Im just an internet noob) How about going...

ahh the net bring out all sorts. nemakrua, Im sorry if my post has caused you to react in such a way as that was not my intention. I am simply asking for opinions and advice from those more knowledgable and experienced than myself in relation to something I have been thinking about. I...

Mark, Congrats Mark, you deserve it. I don't know any other author/trader who would do what you do, your an asset to the Industry and have allowed many a newb get first hand knowledge from a pro.

I was hoping not to get responses from first time posters bearing issues and baggage, but suppose these types of posts attract those type of people. So I'll try again. I'm not looking to be a trader of forex anything of the sorts & I don't require any BS comments from newbies so if you...

Hi, Would appreciate opinions from the pros on why this strategy would not be such a good idea, as I am very new to this. I would like to transfer AUDs into USDs to trade the US markets then at a later date (3mths or so in the future) I would transfer those USDs from my trading account...

Thanks guys for taking the time, just want to get my head around this. Ran my position through a modeller and came up with the greeks below (which have since changed from a day ago of course) Delta Gamma Theta Vega 304.78 8.25 -472.46...

Thanks DMO for the explanation on gamma, I understand being short delta means I will make money all things being equal, but what Im having trouble comprehending (either Im still very green or a slow learner) is my -vega is much larger than my -delta so should'nt I end up losing money with a...

Hi, I'm new to trading options and in particular the greeks, so would like to get some clarification. If I had a position on that looks like this: - 55 delta -1.70 gamma +132 theta -360 vega am I correct in saying that if the underlying falls by 5 points & IV goes up by 5 points...
