    So if I long ES at 1200 and buy a ES put at 1100. It still doesn't guarantee that I will lose 100 pt at most UNLESS the option premium totally reflect the underlying assets value. Can the exchanges simply offer some futures that hv built-in loss limit? I think many traders will prefer them.

    I googled the web and found this website: http://www.statsoft.com/textbook/sttimser.html The chart really gives me a shock. Even though I believe time series work in some extent, I at least though that the real world is more noisy and thus it is difficult to spot the pattern... You must...

    $100B hedge fund
