Options Choices — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 03:32:40 +0000

www.hamzeianalytics.com – Learn how to trade a bearish call diagonal spread from TheAdmiral, a former CBOE Designated Primary Market Maker. Learn the key characteristics of call diagonal spreads and how to structure a call diagonal when you have a bearish view about a stock. This an excerpt from “Trade Options like a DPM Webinar #10: Diagonal Spreads” – www.hamzeianalytics.com “DIAGONAL SPREADS” OPTIONS WEBINAR DESCRIPTION (JUNE 8, 2010, 1800 CT) An options strategy established by simultaneously entering into a long and short position in two options of the same type (two call options or two put options) but with different strike prices and expiration dates. ABOUT “THE ADMIRAL” The featured speaker, whom we affectionately call “The Admiral,” was a Designated Primary Market Maker (DPM) on the floor of the CBOE for five years. Although we’re not using his real name (so don’t ask!) suffice it to say that we consider him to be one of the most knowledgeable option traders on the planet. As a floor trader in the ’80s and ’90s he did the opening options rotation for 5-25 stocks the old-fashioned open outcry way—meaning he opened each option strike price for each of these stocks within the first 30 minutes of trading, both calls and puts. That meant he had to price more than 500 option strikes, plus as a market maker he traded and kept the markets current. As a DPM, technology brought forth auto-quoting of option series, but pricing of those quotes remained his responsibility …

BEST Forex Binary Option Trading – Scenario For a Successful Forex Binary Options Strategy

Options Choices — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 03:41:19 +0000

www.ForexAutopilotRobot.com – BEST Forex Binary Option Trading – Scenario For a Successful Forex Binary Options Strategy Binary option trading varies from broker to broker but the basic concept is the same each trade has only one of two possible outcomes. Binary option trading calls and puts turn over extremely quickly – either hourly or daily. Fortunate day traders find their investments landing consistently in the money – and reaping huge rewards as a result. High Yields Attract Investors to Binary Option Trading Yields on the rapid turning trades range from sixty percent to in some cases seventy five percent. It is literally impossible to compute the compounding rates of return on some of these investments because the yields are so high. Here’s an example of how a trade payout might look. Let’s presume first that the trade expires in the money. What would a two hundred dollar investment in seventy five percent yielding call options payout? The answer is a $200 trade in a contract pays $350 ($200 capital investment plus 75% profit of $150). What would happen though if the position expired out of the money? This is where brokers can vary significantly. Sometimes an investor can unload an out of the money put or call prior to expiration – but some brokers operate differently. An unsuccessful trade might pay $30 (15% of the original $200 investment at expiration) on some particular securities. In other cases a trader might not be able to move his or her position at all …

Put Call Ratio — John Carter’s Keys to the Kingdom

Options Choices — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:42:33 +0000

www.tradethemarkets.com co-founder John F. Carter discusses how to use the put call ratio. Would you like to know what the rest of the market participants are doing? The put call ratio is as close to actually having this information as a trader can get. The put call ratio measures how many put options are bought versus call options. This formula is simple to calculate just take the volume for puts and divide by the volume for calls. If there are 50000 puts sold and 100000 calls, the put call ratio would be .50 (50000 divided by 100000). There are three main put call ratios, the equity put call ratio, the main index put call ratio, and the combined equity/index put call ratio. The equity put call ratio is generally very low, which reflects a retail crowd that has a tendency to favor the long side or more call buying. The index put call ratio is usually very high which reflects the institutional mindset that wants to stay hedged for an unexpected move lower. The combined equity/index put call ratio reflects both of the groups and gives the trader the best gauge of what the overall market participants are thinking. A put call ratio of over 1 represents extreme bearishness and put buying. This means there are too many bears and very few people left to sell. A put call ratio of under .60 represents extreme call buying. This represents a scenario when there are too many bulls and very few people left to buy. For a more detailed explanation and more examples John Carter explains …
