Thanks for all the replies I like targets, at least they are objective, but I read on ET they were not the best way to exit, some recommendations provided were percentage based and volatility based, but I don't understand which indicators measure volatility intraday and how effective it could...

Yes I suppose :) but I don't mean necessarily maximum profit, just some thing that in general works quite well, do successful traders just guess when to get out ? Is it a intuitive thing ? For example on ES I would imagine if you were holding 4 points you would want to get out, why ? Because...

Can someone advise on the best approach for exiting a winning trade intraday on YM, ER2 or ES ? For example if on YM you have 20 points would you exit or wait and perhaps get 40 points, then again it might turn and get stopped out? When do you know to hold longer and when do you know when to...

Do you trade ER2 ? Itr is a great product. I sell lots of option very far out of the money..What do you trade futures options?

KTM all my quotes are working on ER2. no problem like yesterday Xenia- Have a look today-far out of the money quotes are there.

How much market fell in terms of percentage on 9/11? Is there actually anybody who was wiped out or is this just a theory?

ER2 March no quotes on option chain below 692.5. Any explanation?

Will there be options on this product? Thanks

IB is wonderful. I trade with them options on indexes and futures indexes. I can trade options on DAX,CAC40, ESTX50, Z . TOS or OX dont trade all this. IB commission -no minimum charge. I am just surprised US is a big country and nobody has IB's business model.

any idea what are commission rates of MAN for options

I pay 3.30 round trip to IB without any monthly fee. So really what is the attraction?

No there might not be any differences. I want to diversify for spreading the risk because I feel all financial products are corelated and in some adverse event options on commodities may not be co related.

Till now I have been only trading options on indexes and futures indexes . I would like to trade options on some commodities. -which are traded electronically. Please tell me how to make a start and gradually build on knowledge gained. I have an a/c with IB so really I should make a start...

I was looking today at RUT and ER2. It both looked the same. Multiplier is the same as well $100. I tried to sell one contract at 640 but before going ahead I looked the margin requirement and it was a massive figure of £7200 I tried to do the same contract (640) for ER2 and checked the...

Could you please explain this some more? How do you create a prediction model for prices, are there any books, websites that can get me started, or perhaps you could provide some specific details, for example , "I use excel and in excel I use these functions to predict the price a set number of...

I trade YM, or try to, I have direct prices from IB, is this L1? You are saying just watch the bid/ask and base my decisions off that ? This is what would be called tape reading ? Thanks

I will give a quote from Chick Goslin Options are one of the greatest and most costly frauds ever perpetraded on the trading public. The very nature of options, as currently set up, is such that the odds are inherently stacked against the buyer (primarily small speculators) and in favour of...

Sgreed I sell naked puts all the time and far out of the money. I have been doing this for two years now and I have never taken any loss and very rarely I have rolled into future month. I only do near month and at expiry all my margin is free. At the moment I use ER2 ,YM and Z . I am in...
