AROUND THE BLOCK

This Week in Futures Options 138: Your Questions About Crude, Equities, Volatility and More
02/07/2019 17:05

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from Franks - What’s the best entry futures option for newbies? I’m thinking something in the equities because most people are coming from stocks? I’d guess stuff like seasonal crop cycles would blow their minds.

Question from Behr12 - What do you guys think? I don’t think crude vol can sustain for long at these levels. - RE: Oil: Are Options Signaling Long-Term Uncertainty? https://www.cmegroup.com/podcasts/off-the-charts-podcast-series/oil-are-options-signaling-long-term-uncertainty.html

Question from J Swager - We stuck range bound in WTI for next few months between 48-55? Any signs in the vol that we might be heading for a move beyond in either direction?

Question from Bob Engles - Do all the synthetics that hold for eq opts like long stock/short call = short put also hold for futures options?

Question from Alcore - How far out can I go in eMini S&P or rut options? Does it make sense to do collars out to max expiration? Or maybe just a couple of years?

Question from The Poet - What does it mean when an options is delta skewed?

Question from Kaichi - You said all vertical trades were skew but what about calendars and diagonals? Isn’t that skew?

Comment from Steve A: Best series of shows about trading options on the net

Question from Opt Addict - I see a lot of talk about delta neutral trading using equity options but not so much with futures options. Why is that? Is it just not a popular strategy or is there a fundamental difference on the futures side that makes it less viable to dynamically delta hedge a position?
