Vix options are priced off the futures price. In my understanding, trading VIX options is essentially trading a european style VIX futures option (assuming you trade 10 options contracts). Of course they are not margined this way.

I think you misunderstood. I literally meant 50 cents in one second.

July $3.00 RBOB calls settled at $.1090 today ($4578) . If RBOB is at just $4.00 by July, you make $42k . Get after it.

Just FYI, on Ice i've seen a 50 cent range in a one second period (looking at T&S). I think it was after inventories, though.

Long call short stock = straddle? I'm trying my best to plow through Cottle's material, so my understanding of synthetics is somewhat limited at this point, but can you elaborate on this? Doesn't seem to fit the pnl diagram of a straddle when I plot it. My understanding is your're describing...

Happend all the time when I used Scottrade before. This has been discussed before on ET. My guess is perhaps they can boast on "price improvement" Haven't the slightest idea if/how this happends on the nymex.

I use mine everyday, best browser on a phone I've ever had. Just needs flash though, which is on the way.

When is the "close" on the ES taken that your using?

The platform is web based, which leaves something to be desired in my opinion.

PM me.

Ice OTC does. That shit gets annoying real fast though.

This might help, see attached.

How about no more "for the record" posts from you? Especially to tell us you are trading forex, but posting it in the options forum....

Looks like something we'll see on the news in a few months..

Wow. Try using google. You don't even have to search for him by name, just type "Alaron" . 2nd result. Sheesh
