Are you aware the Finspreads offer tight spreads on options? Maybe worth trying although currently only on the phone - I believe they will be putting them on the web eventually!

Finspreads are +2.5 long interest, -2.25 short interest for UK shares. Minimum credit to the account for being short is 0.01pence, minimum paid for being long is 0.25 pence . For US, figures are +2% and - 1.5% respectively and European shares are +2 and -2. Hope this helps.

the math is somewhat more complicated than you imagine with black scholes option pricing formula being utilised with a twist - that is to say reiner rubinstein adjustments. If you are a mathemetician, it works fair enough - the rest of us make do with trying to make money on our view!
