Mup> I'm looking at the ESTX 50 (OEX) AUG 19 22 2500 PUT @DTB
I see a closing close of bid 2.6 ask 2.8
is the spread 20 cents all day?

depends on term and delta.

The difference between OESX and the shit you're trading is the open interest.
you have round about 30m-100m OI in the OESX so even when you're looking at 40ct spreads (which is 4€ notional btw. since the multiplier is 10€) you'll get executed at midpoint for the most part. Volume is about 200k-500k contracts per term per day.

When you trade options as retail you have to pay attention to execution cost. Trade the liquid stuff. Stay away from ODAX and FDAX. If you don't know what you're doing, this thing rips you a second asshole
 
always fun to sell (to close) puts for a scratch and being out 30 bucks commission when the vix is up 0.4% and the underlying is down 1.5% from entry
 
0.1 price variance on oesx
ah the multiplier is 10
wtf
haha, sorry for sounding so noobish but i've hardly traded any other options than spy and qqq the last years
 
i see that it"s 0.3 commission for mini options at IB
so that's 30 euros for a 100, damn that's steep
might need to look for a second broker if i'm going this route
