 Since THE DOCTOR at the CBOE told me that he day trades options everyday
 for a living I’ve been thinking about it some more. Could any of you
 educate us about the advantages or disadvantages of day trading futures
 options in these or other markets? I’m hoping to get a little discussion
 about this. Advanced thanks.

Likewise, I too am developing an interest in learning more about the
advantages of using options as a venue to trade the futures markets.  I have
heard that the risk per position is less than holding the underliying
contract.

Any informed input here would be appreciated, and would seem to make a new and
interesting string of discussions.

Sincerely,
