Options Successfull Traders

Then as you said Mr Blade that would be Slander (as i would be making it up), my figures are factual and i can prove this by giving you my trading sheet and fact find at the point of sale. Give me your email address!

Mr Gecko, has made some valid points and to the educated man who does not know the FSA rules and regulations i would of thought the same. He is in fact wrong, you could never get your commission back. You look to see if the investment was suitable to your overall circumstances. Believe me i would of thought the same. However, i have done alot of research over the past 6 months and talked to many experts from the financial world, compliance departments and solicitors.

If your approach was to be of low risk speculation and cautious then all recommendations from your broker should follow that. i.e. CFDs are known to be high risk, but if you wanted to make them low risk you would trade them in pairs (buy BP & sell shell) hoping BP will outperform shell. This is a low risk strategy. If he did not follow that and recommended high risk strategy i.e. Naked options, then that would be a breach of contract.

Guessing is not good enough, you need to know the laws of investment advice. Read COB and COBS first and then come back to me. It can be found on the FSA website.

I was first FSA registered in 1987
 
Mr Blade, you should now have an email in your inbox with the trades. You should then know KYC, and COB then?
 
Pelzar, i had an advisory account. I had never invested/traded in options, fx, commodities or FTSE Index or Strangles. At the point of sale i was told that i would only be advised on low risk strategies. I went along with whatever my advisor (Frank Freeman) told me. I thought he was looking after my needs based my overall circumstances i.e. i had given him everything i had.

Following his advise was not only unsuitbale but very much to my detriment.

Of course.

Having seen the trades, prima fascia, and depending on what boxes you ticked on the ODL documentation regarding you previous derivatives experience (I assume you ticked "none" or it's equivilent) I'd say you have a very very good case against them.

I'd certainly be going down the "innapropriate trades given my lack of experience" rather than "churning" route however + I would have thought that you had an argument with regard to the appropriatenness of doing so many USD denominated trades given you are, I assume, a GBP domestic investor.

Given that we've only heard your side of the story, I am frankly shocked and apalled at the trades undertaken on your account.
 
Thank-you for your vote of confidence. I have had some experience though in CFD FTSE 100 stocks when i held a CFD Discretionary account with IG Index. However, the account was only limited to 50% as a maximum loss. I can only assume that these trades were infact far different to what i ever did with ODL.

Pelzar - I did have a say it was yes and yes to everything he advised me to do, i had no knowledge to challenge his advise and was confident in his 35 year experience to advise me accordingly to my goals as discussed. If you could answer my question sir, do you know Frank Freeman?
 
I have been trying do do some research on this matter. Could somebody tell me the following:

1) If i was to sell 35 lots on the FTSE. What is that the equivalent to in real money terms, is it £35 a point or £350 a point?

2) and what does this all mean for me at the date it expires?
 
Thanks, no wonder i lost everything so quickly. Below is the trade:

21 Jan 2008 16,450.00 T1483204 Sell to open 35 FTSE 100 Index [European] mar08 4925 Put @ 48

If the FTSE finished on the Expire date at 4700 is that? 4925 - 4700 = 225

225 points x 350 = £78,750 loss or could it be even more?
 
if it expired and was exercised the intrinsic loss is 225. Correct. £10 per tick is value so you lost 225 ticks ata loss of £10 per tick multiplied by 35. but you took in 35x 48 ticks on the initial sell.

what the hell your broker is doing selling naked options is beyond me.
 
Sorry Pelzar - I have just read your message again, i must be going mad. Yes my account at its best had a liquidation value of £85,000. But, you would still need to subract the selling price and commissions off this, so i can not give you a proper figure. The liqudation value fell very quickly after this figure had been reached in January. In couple of months to March at i was just left with £901.
 
also if your broker was trying to churn comms he'd be doing flies/condors. stuff with lots of legs.
 
Gooseman - The example of the trade was infact true, but i was looking at 225 as just an example of what happened. I wanted to know about my Risk Exposure.

Naked options - its just what he wanted do for me. I can send anyone my trading sheet, maybe you can make sense of it all....its beyond me.
 
Flies/condors, lots of legs. Your speaking another language to me, could you kindly explain?

Dear All,

I would go Long for now as the VIX is very high now.
For day traders, 5 min bars are more important though.


Regards,

what the hell your broker is doing selling naked options is beyond me.
Click to expand...

Follow the trades thru for one contract (say ESX)
OTM calls & puts were written, everything goes fine for a bit.
Then the market craps out, the short puts have to repurchased back financed by the sale of another OTM straddle.
At some point, it looks like the position went badly wrong, hence the move up to 35 lots.

Same thing (essentially) happened to a couple of banned posters here a couple of years ago.
