Chuckling for sure...

Old thread, but my post maybe helpful to seeking individuals,since I was seeking myself for years. Mentor? As far as over the years one person is striking. "Bone"

I will follow. Thanx for your effort. I am quite hesitant to post on ET. People like bashing others for no reason. Many dont have manners and hide behind their anonymity. Anyway, I am curious how you proceed. Trading for a living must be stressful, since you are forced to succeed. Again...

A Reverse Butterfly, as long as you start off outside any of the short strikes. Dont get get sucked into the hole. :eek: Maybe not what you are looking for.

I use IB Risk Analysis and sth. similar like optionstar to go over new ideas. I use the Eurex Strategy Master, costs roughly 20 EUR. Open up an option chain, set up a strategy order(combo), right click on the B/A price, then "check risk". Immediately go on "view details". I dont use the...

Nikkei -1.8%. Brent Oil and Gold down more than a 1 percent, too . Let´s see if the US gonna shrug it off.

Upps, little hiccup. Thanx Trefoil. :) Well, I am negative minded since 2 days. At least I´d like to have some proctection in place for my portfolio. DAX , ESTX50 little negative this morning in Europe, but not too bad. Nikkei with bigger correction at the moment -1.2%. Waiting for...

Yes, the correction is overdue. Too many Hedge funds fading vega or what is going on in this market. I sit in Europe and I honestly believe Greece will be dropped, soon. Money pours into the country, but it does not reach the people by far. Too much corruption and ignorance. What a...

Same gut feeling. Gonna buy some put tomorrow, trading in Europe. Nikkei and Dax quite overextended to the US. A correction is overdue anyway. Have fun.

Yes, my colleague and he adds to his position, too. He explained it to me the same way. After some reasearch I am still hesitant, but for him it works.

Useful list of Vol. ETF`s. http://onlyvix.blogspot.com.br/p/volatility-etfs-etns.html

If you look for sth. free, try freestockcharts.com. There you can plot a ratio, but not adding or subtracting. Use "Relative Strength" from the indicator list. Better than nothing.

Will look into it. Thanx. Again, the thread should bring up the inherent risks with such a strategy.

Thanks for the feedback. If I would do leveraged, then on both legs. Otherwise it becomes messy as you mentioned.

Actually that´s what I´d like to do, if i find sth. worthwhile. Still checkin ETN´s , ETC`s on the German Boerse, those which I am able to borrow via IB. I was always hesitant having to much short exposure. As I stated at the beginning, my mate did the setup once and this trade goes down...

Thanx Bone for you precious time. Always interested in your statements. Because of you, about 10 years ago, I have got a keen interest in spread trading. Time literally flies. Greetings from Germany!

Ouch, cost money aswell on top of borrowing costs of the shares, if you would do both short. Then, I would keep a long put on the inverse. What about hedge ratio ajustment leaning towards the inverse, when you are both short as a saftey cushion? Just a thought.

Thanx for your honest opinion. As you heard i am also a bit sceptic about the whole idea and yes I did not do the whole research, but again my mate, we are both airline pilots for a major carrier in europe is making more with that than he does with flying. It is your right to disclaim...

I do not trade forex anymore with macroview. But I like the subject a lot. Macroeconomics is fascinating to me. And I have to admit I like freestockcharts as a quick tool for stocks and forex. I do not like to sign in every time into IB, when I like to have a quick view on sth. IB charts...

Well, I dont trade for a living, but I cannot complain so far.
