Absolutely agree, but the way I look at the problem is the following. Possibly, there are methods that allow to consistently outperform the market. Of course, they are well kept secrets and it is almost impossible for retail investors to have access at them. On the other hand, there is...

Many thanks for your answer. Your post raises the important point that his method should be, at the very least, coupled to the analysis of open interest.

Recently, I have been reading the daily postings by Andrew Wilkinson at seeking alpha: http://seekingalpha.com/author/andrew-wilkinson Andrew seems to be a pretty smart guy. He spots (well, his computer does) unusual high volume option trades and then, by looking at the times&sales...

Many thanks for pointing things out. Unfrotunately, I have hundreds symbols per day to convert and feed to DTN. Doing it by hand would be a nightmare. Do you happen ready a small script to do the trick?

Hi, everyone. The CBOE recently switched to the new option nomenclature. For example, the new symbol of the OVTI 2009 Dec 12.50 Call is now UCM0919L12.5, whereas it used to be UCMLV in the old format. Unfortunately, my data provider DTN is still using the old format. Therefore, I am...

I was wondering if there was any hedge fund basing its activity mainly on options. In positive case, is there any info available on the type of strategy employed?

Hello, Trapper. Many thanks for your encouraging words and for posting Max website. I am happy to hear that he is back on the track both in chess and in the financial world.

Hi, Trapper. You reminded me of a lost love! My last FIDE rating used to be 2205, but it was more than 10 years ago. I haven't played competively since. I guess now I am too rusty to accept your challenge. :) Anyway, does anyone know what's happened to Maxin Dlugy? He was an American/Russian...
