I'll reply now. I don't go into my inbox very often.
Sorry, I've been up all night and haven't read the entire journal. What dealer are you using? These are intraday binaries?
Hi Frank. You can't replicate a vanilla call with touch options.
ES now underwater by 2. Let's see if this continues. Should have held my original position.
20% of listed derivatives volume?!
ha. I was concerned that 160 may be in sight if we recover this week on SPX as I expect we will.
I covered the exotic at 64/100 for 19 basis with spot at 157.85. $14.8k net of the 5-lot loss on the ES futures. I used the proceeds to purchase...

Mods: this thread needs a cleaning. If anyone wants more info on "allenhobbs" you can simply PM me. I'll even supply password for the doc-search.
