Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments

• Tweet from SellPuts - Is #Gold-pocalypse going to continue? Yes, particularly if the dollar index keeps moving towards 98 and above.
• Comment from Ben Green - OI Heat Maps: One of the best I've seen for visualization of open interest. Thank you!
• Question from TCal - I am a somewhat new oil options trader primarily in WTI. Over the last few months I have noticed that the majority of volume trades in the front month. This is particularly true in active weeks such as during the OPEC meeting. I have had success buying weekly options going into these events. But in these same active periods I have not seen the surge of activity in the weekly WTI that I expected. This is surprising given the similar interest in weeklies in most other option products. Is this a function of the large institutional presence in WTI options? Perhaps there is a nuance of the product that I am missing that is not conducive to weeklies? I would appreciate your insight into this. Thank you for producing so much great free programming on your network.

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?
