My (JT) Index Options Trades

Discussion in 'Journals' started by torntech.com, Aug 1, 2002.


  1. Well, in the past, the SPX has been a market that A) required far more margin to trade since it has double the value of the OEX B) was mainly an institutional market where they would do some larger hedges...It has alot of Open Interest, but smaller volume at different strikes than the OEX C) Just never had the popularity that the OEX has enjoyed over the years...

    I find it suitable to end on such a nice number as -88.8% Well, looking forward to my next speculator adventure: The e-minis.

    I will do some papertrading for a while. These will be updated on my webpage, not here. Looking forward to post some profitable future trades here on ET later on.
