assuming i am only allowed to sell covered options. i will be naked for few seconds.....actualy not even 4 seconds.. because i will sell ( to take profit ), buy back to cover the naked position right away loosing the spread ofcourse.. I am thinking that they are tied together...meaning...

I want to trade spot ( forex ) option , american style ; ( not the one that pays if you touch this price or if you touch that price play, but rather a traditional options trade ). And no futures options ( ther eare plenty of them ), I need spot options...and ofcourse, plz, plz, plz no...

thank you for the reply and your help.. did not mean to post it here..but it was too late :)

I got it.. formula posted by Chagi will give the answers. thanx a bunch. And yes arb is the goal here

thank you for the reply I am trying to figure out if the spread has or can get oOVER +/- 50 pips... for eg spot=1.2230 futures=1.2290 in this case spread is 60 or spot=1.2290 futures=1.2230 spread is -60

thanx.. but my Q is, if spot is now trading at 1.2239 , futures is 1.2249 and then tomorrow spot goes to 1.2259 , am i to expect the future price to go up 20 pips to 1.2269 ? or it could go the opposite direction. what is the relation ship to futures and cash ( spot price ? )

I guess what i am saying is does the future price go up as the cash price goes up equaly.. and what is the maximum spread you have seen between the cash and the future price ? eur / usd for example

For example, eur / usd is now trading @ 1.2238 ( spot ) and the future price at this other broker is now trading @ 1.2250 ( eur currency futures) what is the difference and what is the largest difference one has seen between the actual spot price and the futures price ? 10 pips, 100...
