Gamma hedge is a simulated proprietary trading desk. We trade US index futures and options. The principal index futures traded are the E-minis (mainly ES). The principal option underlyings are SPX and RUT as well as their ETF cousins (SPY and IWM). We only day-trade index futures i.e. we go home flat (hopefully not broke!). We trade index option spreads (verticals, calendars and condors), with a preference for front month (high gamma) contracts. As for individual stocks, we might take the occasional earnings trade, but generally avoid them.
See our Trading Blog for trades executed, market colour and general (mostly decent) banter.
