  1. He mentioned futures, and listed fx futures options are as illiquid as shit.

    I don't have a quote right now, but it's routinely 1.5-2.0 in the US day-session. I don't typically trade CAD as I am 80% in the vol on EUR-crosses. EURUSD is a pip wide. I can do better on Majors but then no OTC vol. Download the software and contact them for a trial.

    Hahaha, thank you for removing all doubt that you have absolutely know idea what you are talking about. Please tell me more of your paper-trading wisdom.

    While I am waiting for your paper-trading wisdom, here is some tradable Euro FX futures vol. Derrrrrrrrp.

  4. I have access to the dealing platforms I mentioned and even during US market hours 100m UsdCad is quoted at wider than 1.5 pips in 100m, way wider.

    Short 6E vol was one of my most profitable trades of 2018.

    Just keep guessing, you will eventually say something right.

    USDCAD is 2.0 wide right now. 10MM up.

  7. You mentioned futures, and futures are not vol products. You perhaps meant to say futures options but you did not. Next, 6EU9 is the listed Euro future. And yes, there are listed Euro futures options but they are illiquid and do not even trade round the clock.

  8. That sounds about right for 10m, though a tat wide. But not for 100m. I trade 50-100mil orders several times a month and can assure you fills are not to be had below 2 pips wide spreads, regardless of market hours.

    You're right, I wouldn't expect you to understand the term "vol on futures". You are heavy on post count, and light on a lot of other things.

  10. Overnight

    Overnight

    What if you trade vol on futures, but also trade the VX, which is a volatility future that has volume? Oh dear.
