Download This Week in Futures Options 23: A Crude Oil Wet Blanket

This week your TWIFO hosts discuss:

  • Crude! Pop in IV, love affair with upside calls. WTI lights it up with the Nov 50 strike.
  • Gold! Vol hits multi-year lows. People are paying the rent in gold
  • Surprise product of the week: Lean hogs. 52 puts lighting up the tape. Skew is askew

Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Vegs: Futures have a 63% win rate. How do options compare? What profit percentage do options traders get?
  • Question from Charlie: The economic calendar has many clues as to what might happen. Being a futures trader, I know what to watch. Is there something similar for options traders?
