BRCM has options in Feb, then in May, I would usually play the Feb ones at this time, and am watching RCQ Nj, RCQ NI, RCQ NH, AND RCQ NG.
I trade most of my stocks off of the futures, but rarely enter into the furtures for a trade, because the stock options are more volitile. Index options offer you more strikes, but less volitility. So, futures are my indicators.
For me, I do best when I go short first, then establish a trendline that shows I'm correct, and then enter options from there. I only play options when I sense a mkt trend reversal, like now, or soon. Otherwise, it's best to use straddles in the futures for fulltime, or it can get very risky.
imho, Jerome
