Trading options on futures is a very high return on your investment, but you need high margins as well. If the position goes against you and you are naked you need at least 2-3 times the original initial margin that you have put up.

I am mainly trading with NG futures options and I love the way it pays in terms of credit/margin ratios. It is also true that NG is a "bit" volatile so you really have to have some kind of adjustment strategies in place to protect your portfolio.
I would love to work in that pit man, so good to have you here...

Hi,
I am using thinkorswim as the best options trading platform out there.
You can also use a free software for analysis purposes only which is called Options Oracle.
You are right it is very important which software you use for trading.

Hi,
I am also selling option on index products but mainly on futures because they have a much higher credit/margin ratios...
I agree, you need to employ some form of adjustment strategies to protect your portfolio. But what I love about selling naked premium is the % of chance that I win.
It is more consistent than trying to pick the market directions all the time:)
Best regards,
Gery

Yes you are right, it is just a matter of perspective:)
I think from a trading psychology perspective it is much better to win 8 out of 10 times then only profit 2 out of 10 but then big time. But this is subjective and very personality driven thing.
I always say everybody has to accept their trading personality and based on that create the strategies.
