FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK PALOOZA

Comment from Olive Trader - A long straddle in gold didn’t work for me. You had good points about scalping. My loss has been really small, and I’ve had a few good trades going that this year.

Comment from Mark Bryant - I hope cannabis futures will be coming soon. I hope I can get options on cannabis futures.

Question from Nashly - Is there the same bias towards puts in most futures options that we see in equity options?

Question from Tag Analysis - What’s the difference between a slide and a shift when it comes to skew? Aren’t they the same thing?
