apparently you already use some kind of formula to estimate the sd. Why don't you use the same formula with the new implied volatility?

I meant with gross dividend the dividend including dividend tax. With net dividend I meant dividend after dividend tax. In france, holland and germany you have to pay dividend tax.

That's what I meant, do they factor the gross or net dividend? I'm not talking about uk stocks but french/dutch/german ones.

Hi, if i buy a cfd and a stock goes ex-div, do i receive then the gross div or net div?

Hi Spintron, I traded options on financial stocks in 2008 so I should be able to tell you what happened. There were 2 effects: 1. volatility rose dramatically 2. the skew increased a lot. If the ATM put had a volatility of for example 70 (crisis) the OTM puts had a volatility of 100 and the OTM...

My opinion about your points: 1. Paper trading is good for learning what options are. Don't forget to include transaction costs, a real profitburner. 2. A future trading firm. What do you expect to learn there? The only thing they do is buy and sell a certain future/futures. A trader maybe...

if i look at ransquawk i see it's only free for a week for pro's. For consumers there's no text according to the website.

Thanx! When i go to the website I see the time is not updated automatically. Does this mean you have to refresh the page all the time in order to stay up-to-date? If so, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a site which updates automatically the economic calendar right away when...

Hi people, 2nd question from me in a short time. I'm looking for a website which shows the expected economic indicators (non farm payroll, jobless rate, gdp, etc.) and also updates this number when it's reported. So for instance: non-farm payrolls expected +100K. If it's 14:30 (CET) when the...

Hi people, I'm looking for a website which offers dividend forecasts on european stocks. I know you can find it on bloomberg or markit but they're expensive and i want cheap ;). Your help would be great!

i guessed he just wanted to do a vega trade and was not asking particular about the calendar. If he's really talking about calendars only...not possible by definition imho.

just buy/sell a vix-future on cboe.

Ok..80% of all options will expire worthless..check. Lets assume you earned 80$ premium with these options. The question is: How much money do you think you earn with the other 20%, for instance far out of the money options which cost nothing and will make a lot of money with profit warnings...

what do you want to know about prop techniques in options? If you think vol. is to high sell options and vice versa. If you think one month is too cheap buy it agains another month. If you think there's to much skew sell it and vice versa. If you think the div forecast is to high, sell div. All...
