what happens if in January vix is 25? or 30? or 35? lol of all the calls in the world, selling naked vix calls is the last thing i'd do.

excellent answer and the different underlying as you mentioned make option trading these a bit illogical especially to those who think there are leaps for vix options, lol

you are wrong. prices can and will go from positive to negative. no where did i say infinity, but there is no maximum loss or gain as in option spreads. therefore i say before vol curve trading you must spend much time learning the idiosyncrasies of convergence, etc. although i would never...

i think you are over reacting and clearly wrong on my intent. in any case i doubt i could change your mind. you have called me names far more than i have allegedly here. i've made it rod, so i felt like giving a tidbit back. i stand by my original point; most traders should not go near...

heech, i responded the best way i can to demonstrate my trading ability in these types of curves. thus helping to show my advice can be worthy of listening to. it is rare anyone posts actual screens as you know. yes; vol got smoked this week...but for full honesty, that was half of my week...

hey rod...how's this for a weeks work playing curves.. i spoke as i did because imo it is hard to play vol as well as i do.

those of you who want to trade these oil vix futures should realize if you are not well versed in vol trading, convergence, term structure characteristics , etc , should really not touch these. most et traders will find these trade quite illogically and get killed. ultimately these will be...

there may be minor so called deception here and there; but the homeowner wanted a house at "x" price. the mortgage would have been initiated anyway. deceptively or not. this is analogous to a drunk driver being wrong in a car accident regardless of driver #2. the drunk driver never should...

bob, spot on. as someone who also worked and deserve what i have i hope the banks foreclose on all those who overspent and what not. as far as values plummeting, i do not care that much as the way i see it..those higher prices never should have existed. threats of social unrest are from...

note the futures did not follow. could be a a +2 open easily this morning.

lol tom..i am on my third puget system. i7 w7 8 gig ram intel 80 g ssd 2 video cards love puget very much..but not cheap. runs 2 ib accounts with ease

loser, (and i'm being kind) post your latest p/l. thanks for ruining a good thread with your delusions.

uh, what's wrong with that mix?

just for a moment let's say say he is legit. as you know i have said hard work, etc is key, but i was helped through the years from other trader knowledge points. the "ah ha" moments were key in taking me to the next level. it was a slow road for me due to that fact and if and only if , bone...

you guys bashing bone are very ignorant. i spread trade (plus i posted my august p/l) and what knowledge i have imo is extremely valuable due to my experience and earnings. at 44 yrs old i'm glued to the screen daily and i see bone's point in wanting to lessen the stress at 50. the guy...

in my intraday trading i use my version of dv01. you have to be glued to screen though.

my last sentence imo is a main part of getting to a profitable trader. luck helps too. i will add something that i did not in the thread. i found success by trading only one product. i don't trade euro then tap cl, etc. i do not own anything but cash in my account's and study my product...

if i was boastful i would have found my TWO p/l link posts 2 pages back ( my et settings have been set at more posts per page, so therefore less pages) and posted it for the guy who clearly does not have the work ethic to make it. i.ve done well for 15 yrs, but no one will ever know but me...

you can't look back a few pages? no wonder i do so well. jeeze.

hey, look at lesscor, et al... we who earn well can't tell you how to do it...in my case i can't even tell you what i trade..i only posted some p/l to give hope to others because i was there once too.. and for those dopes who think i sell puts , etc.. note in my p/l posting i made nearly...
