Topics this week include: Metals/Gold Crude Oil Equities 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?

Topics this week include: Metals/Gold Crude Oil/WTI Equities/RVX Crypto Ags FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK Question from Jose Morales - Why do you like trading opts on WTI instead of USO? USO can be traded in most accounts. Need a futures options account to trade WTI. Question from Brett R. - Can you hit some FX on the show? Question from George Pete - Russell 2000 gets all the love. What about futures options on 1000 or 3000? Or maybe some of the other indices under FTSE umbrella? Question from Khariton - Was there ever a VIX RVX spread product? Thanks for TWIFO show.

Topics this week include: Crude Oil Metals/Gold Ags/Hogs FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK Question from Caesar L. - Why is palladium catching such a bid? Worth more than gold again? Question from Model X - Ask the Russell guy which of the Russell products puts up the most contracts? Also when's the move/shift stuff coming? Question from Studio64 - Why don't we see more flavors of equity volatility? There's VIX and then there's Eurostoxx and that's pretty much it. There was talk of more on the horizon but nothing has come of it yet? I'd like more underlying indices other than S&P and more methodology than just the base VIX methodology (maybe some sort of skew product). Thoughts? Question from Brandon Elliot - Have any good rules of thumb when trading the term structure in seasonal products like corn? Maybe a point when the spreads are just too wide or narrow and need to be traded? What's typical holding period for these trades? Longer than a month? Thx for answering.

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK Question from Franks - What's the best entry futures option for newbies? I'm thinking something in the equities because most people are coming from stocks? I'd guess stuff like seasonal crop cycles would blow their minds. Question from Behr12 - What do you guys think? I don't think crude vol can sustain for long at these levels. - RE: Oil: Are Options Signaling Long-Term Uncertainty? https://www.cmegroup.com/podcasts/off-the-charts-podcast-series/oil-are-options-signaling-long-term-uncertainty.html Question from J Swager - We stuck range bound in WTI for next few months between 48-55? Any signs in the vol that we might be heading for a move beyond in either direction? Question from Bob Engles - Do all the synthetics that hold for eq opts like long stock/short call = short put also hold for futures options? Question from Alcore - How far out can I go in eMini S&P or rut options? Does it make sense to do collars out to max expiration? Or maybe just a couple of years? Question from The Poet - What does it mean when an options is delta skewed? Question from Kaichi - You said all vertical trades were skew but what about calendars and diagonals? Isn't that skew? Comment from Steve A: Best series of shows about trading options on the net Question from Opt Addict - I see a lot of talk about delta neutral trading using equity options but not so much with futures options. Why is that? Is it just not a popular strategy or is there a fundamental difference on the futures side that makes it less viable to dynamically delta hedge a position?
