Can anyone help me find a Frankfurt operating broker that won't limit instument availability. I've been trading with IB for a long time, but i'm tired of awaiting for € bonds e investment certificates.

Ok i agree: it's not so much a matter of margin, but of pricing. I mean the long option loses value faster than the short (when market goes your way) due to being further apart from the market. I've traded verticals for a while and never liked the spread value, always thought it was too little -...

Please vote for the following suggestion: ID# 1696 Title: Add german products "please add all products traded on the frankfurt and stuttgart stock exchange, esp. all products traded on EUWAX, i don´t want to open a second account and transfer funds!" I believe this is the single best...

I was refering to dax futures and dax index options. About the trackers: Can you give me an example of a liquid tracker and tracker options? From my experience (not a lot) the tracker options usualy don't have enough value to justify a covered call options strategy. Do you agree...

I don't like vertical spreads margin req, it grows too fast if the market goes agains you. :( I prefer covered call option position (if long the market); or covered put option (if short the market). Any other suggestion?

I would like to hedge my short index option positions with the underlying, but as i can´t trade an index... Can anyone tell me an alternative hedge? Thanks in advance.

murray the example above is merely academic, when i started making simulations (last friday) that was the es future and future.options quotes. nazzdack when i say sell 1 es 1475 call @ 20, i mean that's the actual bid/ask spread split, so the bid/ask could be 20/21, or 19,5/20,5... in...

I've been analyzing the following position but i can't find a good follow up action if the market moves my way. Buy 1 es future @ 1471 sell 1 es 1475 call @ 20 buy 1 es 1465 put @ 19 If the market goes down you have a nice cushion and limited loss scenario further down. If the market...

IV I understood the explanations of Ursa and Rally, but i still dont understand your expectations. meaning: You open your position when you have at least 1500 bp difference in vols between front and back months - the assumption here is that the higher volatility in the back month is due to...

A correction to my last post is necessary! Where it appears: It should be: Bought 7 Bund Sept 118 Call 0.1 pts Sold 7 Bund Sept 117 Call 0.3 pts Credit Received: €1400.00 Sorry! Hugo

Thanks for your reply, i was starting to feel lonely!:) Sorry i wasn't as specific as i should've been... Here are the actual positions: Bought 7 Dax Sept 4900 Put 25.3 pts sold 7 Dax Sept 5100 Put 41.8 pts Credit Received: €577.50 Bought 7 Bund...

Come on! Anyone! how far will the bund go? Is this it? back to 114.80/115.6 for the next 3 months? Anyone agrees? Good trading Hugo

I've entered a credit put spread, maturiting in September, on Dax at July 10th. Since then i've had the war on Hezbollah and record oil prices. Things seem to be headed for some consolidation (less volatile sessions), as oil retreats, but inflation worries keep equities in check... I think...

The German 10Yr finished the week at 116.15 and on a gap up... We're obviously seeing a short-term rallie, since the long term bias hasn't changed. I hope... So where do you see a reversal? At these levels? Above 117? I trade credit spreads, and i'm almost sure i should have opened...
