Has anybody tried trading the MID (Midcap 400) index. I tried it once last year and had to adjust so I haven't looked at it since.
Jeff: Thanks for the info. I found your previous post intriguing, but it looks like there is a substantial skew in the pricing of puts versus...
Thanks, I just want to be clear. I would only consider naked calls on futures options, if and only if, I can go considerably more OTM than I...
Hey, Coach. You still up. Are you practicing for the coming event. I guess once the bundle of joy arrives, we'll be able to look forward to a...
Now that June options have expired, I have a question on the point at which we start looking at adusting positions. Coach, I believe you've...
Thanks Rally. I'll check out the links. Since you trade options on futures, what's your take on this strategy? My thinking is that if I can...
I'm interested in studying this strategy further. Not for selling naked puts but naked calls on the ES really FOTM. Unfortunately, I have zero...
Back to the markets and trading...... Attached is a table showing the extent of the recent drop in the markets and select commodities. BTW:...
Mo: 1) Since you won't reveal which actual strategies you use, at least tell me if you've ever taken a big loss? Gimme something :) 2) I...

Coach: I certainly had no intention of being rude and apologize if it came across that way. You are the primary reason why this was (is) the...
I have decided to dramatically curtail my involvement in this thread (probably will drop out). Probably few will care, but for anyone who is...

I've only been in bear calls this month so haven't experienced any turbulence. I'm up 20% on margin risked this year so far (through May) and...
Synaptic: I'm only doing FOTM bear calls myself because of the black swan. Based on some preliminary experience I think I can do 3 to 5% of...
Thanks, Mo. I remember now that riskarb did mention to use futures on this. I think I'll start paper trading these to get a feel for how...
Yeah, I guess you'll have to do. :) So a bear risk reversal would be the selling of the call and the buying of a put. Let's talk about the...
Coach, good to hear from you. I have a question on the risk reversal that riskarb suggests for the bull puts. I'm not sure I understand how...
Chrdso: I'm starting to use a similar strategy. I'm putting FOTM positions on earlier and am looking to get out earlier. I'm looking at July...
There's a lot of information on this in the journal. But unless your MoMoney, it may be hard to find. I recommend that as you find information...
