This is not a hot spot for jobs in any field except for maybe hospitality -- still. There are jobs here but no more, generally speaking, per capita than in most other cities in the U.S. And, if you want to work south of Fort Lauderdale, it is almost -- almost -- mandatory that you be...

Depends on traffic; at 3 a.m. on a Sunday night, and no construction, maybe 45 -50 minutes. At 5 p.m. during a weekday, maybe 90-100 minutes. Traffic in South Florida between WPB and MIA is awful and is fast becoming as nightmare as bad as exists in NYC and LA.

Forgot to post whereabouts (it's a big county): Boca Raton

Thanks for the book cites. Not being a programmer, does anyone know of a commericially available scanner that works with theta : probability or delta?

Just looked through my McMillians. Nada. Page? Or book name that does have it?

Any thoughts or suggestions on software that would scan for theta versus probability or some other metrics that would be useful for option sellers?

Actually, there are some old books on arcane stopics like bond (even bund) options. But they are 15-20 years old. Was wondering if there were any updates oro something similar and adapated to the popular strategy of writing ES and ZN options, naked or as credit spreads. A good book on futures...

Anyone know of any recent books that focus on options these futures?

As for the prearranged trade, why would somebody offer me a better bid that the ecbot?

Its not the tick spread, which is indeed tight. But the strike selections, 104, 105, 106, et-cetera, that are rather wide, no? How about a 104 1/2, 105 1/2, et-cetera?

Ok. Couple questions to follow up. 1. Why is the aforementioned scenario illegal and for whom? 2. Why would someone do it? If they make the bid don't they have to follow through? 3. Any thoughts ever given @ the ecbot to half point strikes for the ZN options? I'm generally looking @ ZN...

There seems to be decent liquidity on the ecbot for eletronic traders of these options. But I notice that the market is not, if this is the right word, deep -- meaning that there aren't a lot of strikes with quotes to chose from, nor many strikes with quotes in non-front months. Amm I mising...

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure Risk Margin would offere me much more than Reg T if I am just writing naked options, if you or anyone can think of a reason, let me know.

Yes, ZN are the options on the 10-year. Trading OPM would be nice but even part OPM would be even better. I'm not sure what a prop shop would offer me that IB doesn't if I do naked and condors on SP futures mainly, maybe short some options on single stocks every now an then.

Coach, two non credit-spread questions and I again apologize for the digression: 1) You mentioned you prop trade. When I looked around South Florida for prop traders who took on options-only traders, I was informed by almnost everyone that no one will give you capital to do options-only...

Ok. Then I am curious, why Ansbacher and some others I have heard about in passing, swear by SP options. Is there a benefit to trading SP with a broker versus ES eletronically? I'm surprised to hear that SP options have less volume than ES options. Shocked in fact. Do you mean the small number...

IB offers ES options.

Coach, I have heard that SPX futures options offer better liquidity/spread than ES options (but SPX futures options do not trade eletronically.) If the account is large enough, and you don't mind placing orders the old fashioned way, doesn't SPX futures options make more sense than ES...
