Is it cheating on quoting OPTION price?
Hello, good day

   Aug 8 closing price for 20800 SC was 447 (same month) future index at 20390.

   But after today's trading the closing price for 20800 SC was 507 future index at 19411 (a 979 drop !)

   How a 979 index drop can make 20800 Call Option price up from 447 to 507 (60 points rise !)

   Is it cheating on quoting OPTION price?

   (I am in real trade not in paper trade system!)

Please give constructive advice.

It is related to IV.

Hi  msexchsrv,


Thanks for your opinion.

  I also noted a sharp increase of IV.(up to 60 more %)

May be use this crazy chance to SC more. (can receive unreasonable high premium)

We can say it is because increase on IV or the change on direction

Hi StockKing,

    Totally agree with you.


    The Reality is making others losing money of SC contracts even with a 900 points drop by means of controlling IV.
