    The ACD Method

    The entire curve has flattened in WTI and Brent except the very front end. This is because producers are aggressively hedging their forward production in the swaps market. The tone is that they don't believe the cuts will hold so they are selling as much forward as they can and in turn have...

    buying VIX calls here

    Huh? There are no "index futures calls". There are only index calls. The index calls use the futures to derive the forward price in which options can be priced from. And at expiration they "converge". You sir, are trading index calls and you sir bought that index at 17. Good luck.

    Michael Lewis to write script for Livermore film?

    I don't see Lewis doing a TV show on network TV but perhaps a series for HBO. There is an appetite for period style dramas "Boardwalk Empire" and financial shows "Billions" on HBO and Showtime. I actually think this story is so complex and layered that a movie might not be appropriate. A film...

    You do realize that the spot VIX on those calls is 16.90! You just "scooped" up the VIX at 17. LOL.

    Ugh.....nothing was scooped up below 11 amigo. If you bought VIX calls...which month. I assure you the forward was trading no where near 11.

    Tradable options on futures

    Let me guess. You just watched "Trading Places" recently on TNT? :) I just re-watched it a few days ago. FWIW, OJ futures are not that liquid nevermind the options. Here's a general rule, the more liquid the futures, the more liquid the options. So if your next example is Lumber Futures...

    The ACD Method

    The better your quant skills and the more granular the data the better. There are signals out there but there are billions of bits of false data you have to sift through to extract that signal. HFT firms are very good at going through the rubble and finding literally that one tiny needle in a...

    The ACD Method

    No, it means you better be spot on with whatever the hell you are doing. If I'm trading crude oil for a 3 week hold I can be off on my entry by 200 or 300 ticks. If I'm daytrading oil I have no such luxury. I better nail that entry and hope it moves NOW.
