Actually, exercise threshold for equity options has been reduced to 0.25 from 0.75. However, since the original poster was talking about futures options this threshold may not be appropriate.

I'll let you know where to send the check.:D

Good for you, mate!

Mate, for your sake, I hope you don't actually trade options! You obviously have absolutely no clue as to how the market functions. But to answer your question, yes you're dreaming! Your counter-party is not the person that bought that call, but the clearing house, which eliminates...

Yes, I know that the overall MM's position is unlikely to stay just at short call, but I was talking in isolation, considering just that transaction. Otherwise, it is hard to say what will the MM's position be. 1 contract will be just "a drop in the ocean" so he/she won't even bother to do...

If you buy a call option and MM takes the other side then he/she will sell a call option. So you will have a long call and MM will have a short call.

Nothing wrong with your strategy, except that you can achieve the same thing by just buying a put option (47.5 strike in your example). Short stock+long call is the synthetic equivalent of long put.

And I suppose the fact that they make you happy while bullsh*tting you till you buy their products somehow makes up for that money you handed over to them. But don't you get it!? That's exactly why they're so desperate to sell you their product. It ain't worth sh*t.....it's all hype, they...

I never sad that their proposed "renting" shares strategy is a bad strategy, they claim that it is a RISK-FREE strategy, which would make you an instant millionaire (you copied and posted that stuff yourself). This is total bullsh*t. Without risk there's no return, simple as that. If you want...

Now it's a book!? It was this incredible SYSTEM of renting out stocks only yesterday. What happened to the system? Or have they converted it into a book overnight!?:confused:

:D

Why would it!? You can calculate how much you would lose on one contract (ES or whatever) if you exit at the stop. So, if you're willing to risk 1% of your account then the size of the position is equal to 1% of your account divided by the loss per contract. edit: On second thought, if you're...

I don't trade futures, but I would imagine it would work exactly the same way. Determine what is 1% of your account, determine the stop based on ATR or whatever, then calculate what is the loss per contract if exited at stop-loss and then calculate the number of contracts.

Mate, if you feel that those guys and their system will make you an instant millionaire then go ahead and buy it, nobody can stop you from doing this. Just don't be surprised when you end up without those millions..... By the way, where do you think their millions come from? Yeah, you guessed...

Look at it this way, if you'd develop such a system, which generates HUGE INSTANT PROFITS WITH NO RISK, would you be selling it to the public or would you trade it yourself till the cows come home!?

Yeah, there's just one problem, if the stock gaps down your stop-loss won't help you much.

Unbelieveable, what a load of crap. "Huge instant returns".....yeah right. A person with financial education knows that without risk there's no reward. In order to achieve high return you need to take high risk. I suggest you stay away from them and keep your money. This is just the...

I was being sarcastic. Sorry! Buying calls is not risk free. Besides, risk/reward means nothing without probability. In other words, you need positive expectancy. Just because you have a risk/reward ratio of 1:10 doesn't mean that you'll be profitable in the long run. If you only win 5% of...

Legging in means buying/selling components at different times. For example, you may buy the stock and put and then wait for the stock to rise enough so that you can sell the call for more than you paid for the put. However, in doing so you assume directional risk - i.e. the risk that the stock...

Were you born this naive or have you attended special courses for this? If it was that easy don't you think everyone would be doing that!? What you're describing is a risk free position, which is impossible to put on all at once. In order to end up with something like this, you'll have to leg...
