I was looking at trading some options to hedge my futures positions. What is the best software for trading options? Anybody tried this method?
777, I have traded futures a lot, both day- and position-trades. I have also traded options, but never as a hedge, as you want to do. I do know that if corerctly done, it can be a valuable methodology, especially if faced with a limit-down situation. A great little company with good products in this field is www.essextrading.com One of the owners who is particularly knowledgeable here is Jay Kaeppel. I would suggest you get ahold of him and ask some questions, read his book, etc. Good luck
I use optionetics, but am looking around. Anyone use AIQ, Optionvue, or Essex. If so, whats your opinion of it compared to optionetics. Or whats your opinion of it in general?......btw I like optionetics, but there seems to be a lot out there, thanks for any input regarding this.........or any other option software I didn't mention.
