unfortunately I think you have a lot more money to lose to learn, I suggest you study the greeks more and how they change based on what happens...options on the vix are actually the volatility of volatility so it's not that simple...volatility still matters. You didn't really mention what calls...

skew is simply the vol slope for otm options where is an otm (out of the money) option trading in relation to the at the money in vol terms...example atm is 30%vol otm call is 40% and otm put is 50% the otm put has a higher skew than the otm call...you could assume people want the puts more...

no there is, Cotton right now has tons of mills coming in at these levels and below here to buy , but overall pretty sucky to be trading in there right now, barely anything going on.

I agree Quotrek is good, finally a real time app for quotes including futures and forex...not great at charting futures spreads but good otherwise. Of course you do have to pay to get the real time data...

bear spreading the high supply and the strong dollar? Seems to be resistance at -1.05 though that is a ways away, broke that little uptrend from past few days/week... I am assuming you are talking about N/Q, any other ideas?

sucks for whoever had to sell out their longs at 2:29pm 100 points lower than the high...

qm is financially settled, you will not be taking delivery...not that your broker would let you anyway.

the moment u stop listening to cnbc or even putting that channel on the moment your life will be that much better. It is a proven fact that those people don't know what they are talking about, I don't know if they even really know what an S&P future is...they were talking once about soymeal and...

makes no sense: ftp://ftp.cmegroup.com/pub/settle/stlnymex has no open interest volume as of yesterday... also http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude_contractSpecs_options.html says that the only contracts are every 50 cents...i wouldnt trust it...

must be something wrong with ur system i dont see it on my futuresource

when the producers come in they move markets, I would think many trades being on the side of the producers or hedgers or whoever it is is usually a good idea. Especially seasonally if they come in every year and do it. But of course sometimes the macro market takes over such as last year when...

RCG allows it, I use it once in a while mostly just to see depth in the market since it has all the depth up and down the ladder. There is no actual ladder though so very tough to day trade on. There is a fee if you don't make any trades in a month I believe it's the data fee which would be...

1256 contracts that I know of do not apply to stock options or etf options. I trade commodities and used 1256 contracts but am pretty sure it would not work for you, there are many websites online that explain this.

http://www.cmegroup.com/education/product-specific/ir.html Lots of good information on there right now, I am trying to sort through it right now http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/intercommodity-spread.html That has the appropriate ratios you should you to construct your...

gross are you related to Bill Gross of Pimco? anyway...yes basically the market maker will try his best to make a double sided market buying/selling at all times knowing that they can hedge with stock/futures, etc. They collect what is known as edge, say an option is worth $5, they are...

futuresource through esignal, allows you to do seasonal and seasonal spread history as well...I think it's better for futures.

roll to the next month once the first one expires, not sure how many days apart that is...

roll it to whatever you want to roll it to: if you are trading m/n in crude and u are long m/n just sell m buy 2 n and sell q (futures butterfly) if that is indeed what you want to do... you might not want to be long n/q though so it really depends...you might want to be short n/q so in that...

cmegroup.com I would assume further back month stuff wouldn't have as much stuff as the front months, but it is crude so...there should be something.
