Further plans:

Sell the WH C500 (or similar) at a price of 450 - 460 of the outright.

Sell the CF C370 just above current level.

World-wide there is a lot of grains, and weather in South America looks promising. Seasonals are bearish for both commodities after end of October.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Sold the CF C370 at 8 4.

Best regards, Myrrdin

How do you calculate 6X IM?

How do you calculate 6X IM?

The IM on 10/13/16 was 296. I multiply that by 6 to get the margin and excess I held for that position. $1,776. Net profit was $84.16.

Formula to calculate monthly ROI is
365/Days Held/12*Net profit/total of margin and excess held.

So for this example
365/13/12*84.16/1776=11.1% monthly ROI

In CL

At this point in the market. Put vs Call which one would you sell and how far out? Strangle? or any other simple combo?

Thanks

Volatility is relatively low, thus, I would not sell a strangle.

I do not have an idea if the next move will be up or down. Thus, I so not intend to sell puts or calls.

In addition, volatility might rise when we approch the next OPEC Meeting in Vienna. Not a good time to sell CL options.

Best regards, Myrrdin
