Re: Day trading futures options

That really depends.

For example, on Friday EACH option nearest to the underlying price in the
nearby bonds contract traded thousands of contracts with open interest for
EACH measured in tens of thousands.

For Cocoa options, however, I see that for ALL cocoa contracts, there were
maybe a few hundred options traded on Friday and the ENTIRE open interest
for ALL cocoa options might be 10,000 or so.

I wouldn't daytrade cocoa, but bonds wouldn't be too much of a problem. Of
course I wouldn't daytrade any of them. But that's because I don't daytrade
at all.
