I short oil future but I want to protect the upside. Would you buy ITM call? Write OTM put? Considering that I am day trading would you recommend hedging using shortest expiration or go further out in the month?

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Comment from Optionsgame - You don’t need to talk about gold anymore. There is no Vol.

Question from Animele - OIV is back in the mid 40s. Do you feel crude vol is somewhat unheralded these days as a tradeable vehicle compared to equity vol? Maybe it’s time for a crude vol tradeable product like a VXX to get people into this space?
