    AUG ZS 13 calls @ 13

    Thanks a lot, guys... It wasn't due to large B/A spreads. 13 was the fill I got on ask. I will perhaps hedge with some further OTM calls. Last question: Who is making a market in electronic ag options? Citadel?

    AUG ZS 13 calls @ 13

    Hello, don't you think those calls are overvalued? Aug Futures are @ 11.1 and Aug ZS 9 puts are sold @ 2 or something. This dissimetry seems too important to me. I sold 1 contract.( wow ). How does market makers introduce bullish bias like that in their pricing models? I am quite...

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    I agree. But they all still have the right to run one and put the odds in their favor. With the number of errors/inattentions I do daily, I am sure I am really playing a positive expectancy game, even with fees and commishs.

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    When trading, you have the right to be the casino, that's the difference. I am sure casino owner really see their job as a career, right? What is the job you ended up doing when you pulled the trigger on this trading/casino thing? Serious question.

    grain spreaders

    I am interested in this question as well. I find your discussions on grain spreads extremely interesting, but cannot find the unifying thread in your trades. It seems every trade is different for you while I like to have a basis, a recurrent pattern that leads my investments. What is the...
