Futures options trade

  1. Could anyone show me an example of a futures options trade, supposing I have $1000 and want to make a profit of $100. What would that trade look like, doesn't matter the underlying future, just want to see examples of futures options trades that would net that $100 amount.
     

  2. Why futures?

    • IMO ....... Equity options are much easier to figure out with plenty of volume.
    • Lots of $1000 opportunities with equity options - I don't think the same can be said for future options.
     
  3. Could you show me an example of an options trade (equity or futrues) where I could put up $1000 and come away with $100?
     

    • This is a $134 trade, 2 days to expiry.
    • FB and AMZN report earnings today.
    • QQQ at $181.60.
    • Buy 1 QQQ Jul 2018 181.00 call at $1.34.
    • Should get you more than $100.00.
    • You risk $134.00.

    EDIT: Expiry is July 27.

  8. I thought for sure AMZN was going to make a run for 1 trillion dollar market cap.
     
  9. Is it true that futures options can be traded 24/7?
