In the course of conversations with other traders or customers, there will occasionally be subjects that come up repeatedly. In this article, we’re going to look at three of them – sort of an article of short subjects. The first is probably the most complicated, as it addresses what volatility to use when trying to project the profitability of an option position. Second, we’ll share some practical insights on trading in futures options – particularly in the New York markets. Finally, we’ve had a lot of questions about one particular usage of our oscillator, so we’ll address that topic as well.
This is a question that has always intrigued me. We all see situations, for example, where stocks make a large gap move on earnings. Is it justified? Does the stock continue on in the same direction a week, month, or quarter later? Or does the knee-jerk reaction to news just provide a place for a reversal? These are all good questions, and so we have been working on a study to answer them.
