It's true, $55 per RT. You can imagine the incentive to push his program. He operates out of Maryland/DC and South Florida. Guy has a history of slaps from the CFTC. I believe he got hit with a 30% DD not too long ago. 150mm AUM. If its not already obvious -- avoid like the plague. His primary trade is to sell 100-point OTM puts on the big CME SP contract.
Ahh C'mon that doesn't sound too bad. He's just doing "completely safe" covered calls like a great many other fund managers out there. :eek:
I haven't seen their prospectus. My business partner's brother in law is an IB VP. They do better than 50% on their capital.
where can i trade exotic options (Binaries) like knock out options, knock in options, one touch barrier option,SINGLE PAYMENT OPTIONS TRADING(SPOT) etc. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/SPOT.asp My strategy calls for trading option spreads on an index on which exotic options are also traded. Any help is much appreciated.
UBS' FX Option Trader is available to foreign individuals and corps with $500k or more. Spot markets are fairly wide, but their exotics are tight. SPOTs are simply the former-REFCO's lingo for barrier-exotics. Check fxcm.com for the product on fx. www.clickoptions.com is the retail-exotic division of the largest French ibank, SocGen. You must be a UK resident. Barriers and digitals on Euro equities. www.betonmarkets.com offers no/touch and doubles on fx and index markets. They're owned by a UK billionaire. Oanda.com offers barriers on 12 fx pairs, and the best markets outside of the institutional space
You will have to trade through an investment bank like JP Morgan or Sachs, there is no standardized market in an exchange for exotics like regular index options.
