    Options on futures for hedging - margin required

    I don't have a SPAN margin calculator, but you are not giving enough information to those that do. You need to know the exact option details and the price of the future you are modeling.

    end of day swing trading(ES)

    Just my opinion, then you need to tweak your strategy over time to have a higher target return or take steps to reduce the volatility of your returns. 10/10 will tend to not work well over time.

    Trading Futures Options

    Most options on futures settle for the future, is if one leg is in the money, you will have a futures positions the next day. If both are, you won't.

If you open an account at Wedbush through us and use the Sterling Trader Pro trading platform, we can offer LVX analytics for free.

    Why Options and not Futures are more popular? Any Options software?

    Why Options and not Futures are more popular? Any Options software?

    That would depend on how you do your calculations. If I can consistently buy a spread at $0.50 and sell at $0.60, I'm making 20% on my allocation to that trade, not annualized (before costs).

    Is your reference to option trading? No one makes money option trading unless they sell services? What would make you say that? I made a living trading options.
