I wouldn't say they're useless, maybe if you're trading 1 lots sure, put on a decent sized position and ignore vega and see what happens...anyway I'm not sure what model they are using, most likely just regular black scholes, I would have to say it's probably implied off of that model. Historic...

I agree what does buying a call and selling another DIFFERENT call with a different expiration have to do with arbitrage, that's just taking on a position, vol blows out in two separate directions on each month and I see nothing that is risk free there... Also when you say should cancel, I...

grains and livestock are always closed on holidays

how can a commodity go to zero? We do not have an infinite supply of natural gas, we have about 10 years worth(in the US) from what I've heard...the bottom I believe would be when something disrupts that massive supply that we have or demand rises.

I know this isn't a serious question but I figured I'd answer anyway... 1) Illegal to own gasoline in your home, at least in the US. 2) Gasoline begins to degrade faster than crude oil does, so you most likely would not be able to deliver if assigned on your future. 3) Which brings me to a...

just to be clear, are u talking about futures market making or options

I feel like it's not really possible anymore these days with the way computers just come in and iceberg everything, have fake orders all over the place and sweep the market at their will...maybe back in the day in the pits...nowadays I feel the bigger losers would outweigh the couple of ticks...

also sometimes these limits act as a reality check for everybody in the market, it's not like the fires in Russia are over and nobody wants to own wheat anymore, You really have to see where the ATM synthetic is trading which is hard to do from just an IB screen if they don't show options...

there's more than plenty of options trading in wheat http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/commodities/grain-and-oilseed/wheat_quotes_volume_voi.html#prodType=undefined anyway that's the online platform which still may not have gotten too off the ground, and it's through IB so I'm inclined to...

goldman conviction buy doesn't suprise me, how do you think they have flawless quarters? same thing they've been doing with the Euro as of late.

Trying to prepare myself for the future, without having done much research on the subject, I was wondering what most people think the best programming language to learn these days is. I know it used to be Java but I never really like the clunkiness of the platform...do people still think Java...

for the amount that program costs per month would be nice to just have it do it and not have to program stuff...

yeah unless you have a wife and kids who depend on your income later on in life, or you don't really want to be blowing your retirement money on trading. I personally would go into trading first, take your risks now while your young. It really depends what you like to do better, do you want to...

pretty tough since a lot of it is still pit based though many markets are coming online...hopefully Live vol comes out with something for this would be great, I looked at Ivol but theyre no good for futures options. And historical implied vols cost thousands of dollars for just a few years of...

tight supplies/manipulation...
