Hello I heard that gamma scalping activity takes place after daily settlement prices of financial instruments are announced. I know that gamma scalping is the activity to balance the delta of options to stay delta neutral. Let's say I am long in EURUSD call and EURUSD rallied today. My long...

I am also an engineer. We engineers take the given situation as a thing to challenge in our subconscious. That leads us to write leaner software, build stronger and cheaper bridges, design smaller circuits. But that notion unfortunately leaded me to go counter trend trading setups. After all...

unfortunately there is no free money as usual. that extra (763-685) corresponds to the risk your stock goes below 54. Suppose you sold the ITM 54 call for for 363 when stock is at 56.85. Then at option expiration, stock took a dive and closed at 52. In that situation, option buyer won't...

in a prev message, I erronously posted that italian and swiss bonds can be delivered against bund contract due to some uncertainty in eurex web site. Today I learned that this is plain wrong. bonds which can be delivered against bund futures are given...

why don't you focus on crush and reverse crush spreads for soy complex. they have natural and logical resistance and support levels. crushing is a simple operation. BO and feed are completely different products whose only similarity is they both are derived from soy

you can also close them as two different calendar spreads. FLY jun-sep-dec is equivalent to going long at Jun-Sep and going short at Sep-Dec. Trying to close spreadwise may be profitable and will virtually eliminate your risk of being net long-short

I read in some place that optimal credit spreads trading is done by selling options which are 30-50 days away in expiry and are exited after 30 days after entry. This may also be applicable to your CC strategy. Thus possible strategy maybe selling 45 day options, wait 30 days and roll your short...

From the strike differences and option value differences one can understand that current price of stock is significantly greater than put strike prices. Thus it is a high probability (about 75 %, guessed from spread prices) that this bull put spread will expire worthless and you will keep the...

I scalp bund futures (fgbl) from short side time to time. (target 6-7 ticks, SL 10 ticks)What I have spotted is that mark fisher's ACD methodology pretty works there at least until US bonds open (opening range of 15 mins, german time(08-08.15)A value of 8 ticks, C 5 ticks) Also open a...

Hello I am looking for a SB or CFD supplier allowing trading in Energy futures. Standard contracts are way big for my account and miNY contracts are less liquid. Crude is common in CFD suppliers but I am also looking for RBOB, Natty and HO contracts. Any leads please, (except Broco) Thanks...
