Sorry for delay, Lisa. > for options -it depends on how much of a movement your system will "predict" On RUT the average win is 5 points. My system doesn't 'predict' like Kevin's MF tool does. My risk management provides exit points looking for support and resistance levels. > with the futures...all you need is a point or two Yes, of course your possible loss isn't limited. With futures you get rid of the spread problem which you have with options. But the spread cash/future is varying due to market situation and can kill your profit that way. > on the SPX they keep the spread wide...but occasionally I see it get > down to an 1/8....I always say they dont know which way the market > is going right now....but I dont know that this is the reason.. > maybe they are just trying to unload a position.... I think its just a MM trick to attract option sellers before an expected move. I saw this several times that immediately after a filled bid the ask was raised scalping the option buyer afterwards. When the MMs do not know which direction the market will go, I would expect a big spread when the vola is high. Thomas
