I've got that...now all I need to do is get my BS in finance w/ a minor in compsci, and join a derivatives market-making firm at an entry position...
I understand...I'm not looking for a failsafe system, just some general ideas. Perhaps I should watch the IV charts of a specific stock, and...
I suppose it involves solving the Black-Scholes eqn for the greeks, and making trades based on those.
So, what other strategies work well for profiting on implied volatility? What about buying a long straddle on a stock that's about to have a major...
Yes, I suppose :-) But they obviously have real work to do. I guess they assist the senior traders in market research, developing and implementing...
So, what would an entry-level trader for a "true" proprietary trading group, lke Wolverine Trading, do? Market making? Do market makers like...
What's the average day of a professional options trader (working for a prop firm, hedge fund, or bank)? I suppose for the first hour and half...

I'm willing to get licensed and set-up...I'd rather have access to institutional equipment and research. And feel like part of a team. I really...

So, let's say I've got a XYZ 50 call expiring 365 days from now, and XYZ is currently trading at $49.50. XYZ pays no dividends. The risk-free rate...
How is that more useful?
And what could cause a IV crash? And what about my second question? Any one else here to help us out?
How does a beginning options trader use implied volatility? And why do advanced options traders quote options in terms of their implied...
Oh, right. I keep forgetting OTMs are money-wasters. So, buy high delta calls w/ low vols, w/ at least --for my purposes, anyway-- six months to...
