Directional, instead of futures...... so if i get a futures signal to buy I will buy OTM call for example.. smaller delta's

hahah ! great point... sort of tru tho

yep. Happens in the power markets too. Barclays recently sold vol in some capacity..... lost big in the heat wave last month,,,,,, they got paid doing it for a long while tho! until... boom

Sounds interesting.... well, I agree on the tails part..... seems to always happen in the Nat Gas market!

Most recent ( last couple months) has become one of the volatile contracts in commodities.... not sure what your view is on trading the commodity .... .01 cent move x 10,000 mmbtu = 100.00 per contract same for option ... there is a mini contract for 25 bucks per penny. Lot of the...

I have never heard of one particular shop that does this. However as prev. poster described volumes are own, as a result I thnk Bright trading has to look for other means to make some money.. if you look around Don Bright is always trolling these boards. Curious what do you kneed prop...

yes. whats up ?

Audit costs minimal ........

I was thinking EXACT same, why not just monitor account... if htey like what they see, fund the guy.

He has that sort of money to throw around and your trolling this place to get people to sign up for "training" so that you can get ther "brokerage" fee's !! Now the training is "free" .... where is this thread headed ?

Is there anything in place since the MFglobal scam that will potentially make these retail traders whole at some point ??

Thnx Net I would like a delta of 50 so I will have to look at itm and way otm to achieve this

Hmmm.... not sure I follow. The short leg will be slight otm when the position is initiated. So if the commodity, gold in this case goes up within a day or two the OTM vol will decrease you think ? I simply thought it was case of the ATM I buy will increase almost 1:1 and the OTM with a...

Than you. If I buy ATM what strike to choose Otm and why? and I am guessing this is better than a bet on the futures if and when I have a strong directional bias on the underlying itself for a few days or week.... Not a opinion about volatility IV or otherwise

I am looking only at gold oil nat gas. Commodities really. Not seeing this weekly option basically I take the month I am wanting to bet on with respect to futures except that I use options so if I am looking at June futures I use a ATM June gold call long and sell a OTM strike with a 25...

Ok thanks. For example instead of going long the future I will be buying an ATM call and selling a maybe 25 delta OTM strike? So the short will or should be worth bit... I would not buy OTM because this is a bias directional play on the underling for anywhere from 1 to 5 days...

Hi, Thanks, agree with straddle, that doesnt make any sense. so yes it would be imminent so when you refer to weekly, what does this mean ? never heard this term in option ? I prefer a little risk, so I think I would buy ATM sell OTM verticle for example.... if bullish, but not sure...
