This threads been quiet for a while, so thought I'd post on a recent trade I did in late August, 21st to be exact in Gold options, just to through some ideas out there on analysing the markets for good option sale opportunties. The attachments make it clearer, but over the last few years I've...

That is one way, not having all the details and without an option model, another way is to watch the relationship between different strike prices ie if SPY is 108 , ATM calls is 3, 109 call is 2.5 and 110 call is 2, a guide would be if the SPY moves to 109 in short order the 109 call will be...

Osama releases new video to prove he is alive! Osama Bin Laden has just sent a new TV message to prove he is still alive. He said ' The England Rugby team where f@^"ing sh!t on Saturday.' British Intelligence have dismissed it saying 'It could have been record at any time in the last 4 years'.

On a slightly different note because every broker quotes slightly different prices in FX I feel traders are lulled into placing their stops incorrectly at times. Slight discreancies in prices (particularly highs and lows) cause traders to draw trend lines incorrectly on their charts and place...

I think you'll have more chance getting $3000 an ounce for that stuff you are smoking.

Warren, Why would the long term trend for gold be bearish going into an inflationary cycle, sometimes you you need to look past the technicals. As a perma bear you need a good call to make up for your blog bullish calls you made on DELL, MSFT, BRCM, GLW, which took no time at all to go T!TS...

One thing that this move will make a lot easier is spreading Brent against WTI, I have always watched this spread with interest, but the NYMEX execution times have made it difficult to take advantage of this interesting trade.

ukoptions, Have you tried opening a virtual acc with them, put a bet and as soon as its on see what you can sell it back at , you will be amazed at how much value its lost, just like the old story of the new car driven off the show room floor loses a chunk of value instantaneously, it's much...
