So that's only with significant size right? ie hedge the delta equivalent with ES? What if im trading 5 lots :D

Very light volume on ES compared to SPX. Not really enjoying this legging in business. Legged in one side (but I think thats only because the market moved in favour of the other party). Now trying to leg in the other side and worried the market may run away making me pay more than I have to...

Thanks coach.

Thanks Murray :)

You're right Coach, if the strike has no action, you wont get filled and this is what im experiencing at the moment. Good learning experience for me. Guess the thing is to look for strikes with higher volume traded or open interest. Wish it had the same volume as SPX.

Hey Mo, Im back but i'll try to keep it under 15 posts this time :D

By posting just two... I thought it would be less cluttered to follow.... but with the recent up action, the other two positions have taken off and will be worth displaying to compare how the Puts did against the Calls. Was your Call diagonals losing money the past week with SPX falling...

[/B] Thanks Murray for your updates and sorry for all the questions. No need to answer if you're too busy sailing:D Looking forward to hearing from you Friday.

Hi Vol, The price of ~ 150, is that mid? Or would it be less after shaving off a bid here and there.

When the underlying moves towards your short strike in the PUT Diagonals, you're supposed to make money due to VIX (but that didn't happen for yip from what he posted, maybe SPX moved down too slowly and did not cause a VIX spike). Even when it stays reasonably steady you make money due to front...

Hi Coach, The prices for you ES calls are currently AUG 1330 CALLS ~ 1.3 Loss 0.3 JUL 1300 CALLS ~ 0.8 Profit 2.2 So you've made about 1.90 per contract not taking the ratios into account. Good call.

Oi ! Thats two strikes now ! :mad: :D But alls good, and thanks for the ES spread thread. Also gonna use live chat from now on too. Used to do that on OX and it was quite good. Markets looking scary. Ooo I feel paralysis comin on. Mmm..maybe I should call handle procrastinator :)

Thanks for letting me know or I might have had to change my handle. I was thinking of "deepseacreature" as I used to just lurk around and pop up every now and then. Didn't have enough knowledge to post and still don't. I think I'll tone it down and go back to lurking the depths of this thread :)...

Looks very adventurous. Must analyse. Good homework for me :p

Maybe you just imagined it :p I mentioned someone i know had actually put combo orders through and the customer service guy messaged me to quote your order number if you had any open orders, and he'll investigate. I told him that I wont ask someone/you for that and thanked him.

Thanks Jeff, Should be AUG 1360C 0.25x0.45 AUG 1345C 0.60x0.90 But i'll just leg in and not worry about the spread order for ES.

Oops stuffed up the previous post :) Anyway, I understand what you said but there is a bid and ask price for credit spreads with the size/vol as well. So im guessing someone put it there and and I should be able to hit them. I'll give it a rest for now and im sure i'll work it out as i trade...

Thanks Crucis, I just have the funds, so will check it out. But i much prefer the look of IB's platform. By the way, I have just got a reply from IB. He said again that ES can't be put through as a spread order. However SPX credit spreads can be put through as a spread order, so that...

SPX spreads in OX...i'll probably have to do the same. And good tip for ES legging in. I'll do the same..can afford to be aggresive one side and then easy on the other once the first side is filled. That help, thanks coach. Rydeman, Yup I still am talking to the enquiries pple at IB...
