    CL vs. DBO, Daily closing marks, OTR past two years, just under 84% positive correlation.

    CL vs. USO, same metrics, just under 73%.

    DBO vs. USO, same metrics, just under 97%.

    Thanks, Bone.
    So, I guess that's the tightest ETF option correlation to Crude, huh ?

    J-Law, there are about a dozen ETFs that have a two year daily close-on-close positive correlation greater than 95% with the CL Nymex futures contract. I apologize, but I cannot be more specific without getting nastygrams from clients.

    Hey, thanks. That's cool. I completely understand.
    At least I now know hat I could probably use ETF options as to add + gamma hedge against a short CL option position without paying up for CL options.
    Ball in my court.
     
  6. Is there a way to find out the correlation between stock vs ETF or a ETF vs ETF during intraday trading on a tick by tick time frame. Will I need to record this data on my own or is there a service that can give this data for free or for a fee.

    There is edge and there are a number of ways to exploit intermarket correlations.

    You can scalp one versus the other, you can automate a 'lead-lag' strategy, and of course you can spread trade one instrument versus the other and profit from the convergence or the divergence.
     
  9. thank you for the great response. I definately feel like I am evolving my trading in the right direction.
