    Tomaz. I think there is too much to answer now but a few observations CL is highly volatile. I think 1k is doable on certain months if you get into good volatility. It also just depends how far you want your comfort levels and where things are at which is day to day on what’s going on...

    Trading future options vs Trading futures

    problem with FOP is bid ask spread.. horrible, downright horrible.. as Matt said most maybe trade volatility, but then there is getting out.. which I cannot see being done as I trade far OTM options, I'm sure ATM or ITM is different story but seriously you gotta work as it's just a war to come...

    don't know the thread starter, but try some SPY options that expire that day for .05 / .10 and there you go, you held them one day. come in halfway through the day, and you'll find the .05 and .10 people want to unload very very very easy far OTM
