  6. You might think this is funny posting a dead link but some of us are serious. I am going to complain about you and dashing blade and read up on what both of you have posted on T2W. Why do you mock people and mess around. Are both of you traders at all or are both of you just out to make trouble. I am now wondering if the right people have been banned on this thread.

    Derivman,

    Your question is a bit too general to give you any specific advice. You haven't specified the time frame, goals or you level of experience.

    For the most basic info regarding coffee futures and options visit the respective exchange.

  9. Thank you MTE. My question may be general and I see nothing wrong with that. I would expect experienced Option traders to be able to explain a simple approach to a newbie like myself. What I am looking for is something along these lines:

    a. The coffe market ic currently at the XXXXX level
    b. There is major Support @ XXXXX
    c. There is major Resistance @ XXXXX
    d. The market may trade in the following range XXXXX for the next n period.
    e. Based on these figures the following strategy would have the following risk XXX and the following potential reward XXX
    f. The chances of making money with this type of strategy is XX%

    Am I way off the mark here or am I missing something completely. From what I have read on other sites many experts say that Option trading is not a zero sum game. I can post the link to these educational sites for discussion if you like. Again thanks for your help.
