摘要
In this paper, we employ the intraday transaction prices of liquid E-mini S&P 500 index futures options to form 10-min ahead risk-neutral skewness forecasts and show profitable options trading strategy net of transaction costs. We do not find profitable trading based on 10-min ahead risk-neutral volatility and only very marginal cases of profitable trading using kurtosis forecasts. The skewness profitability anomaly may be an indication of informational inefficiency in intraday S&P 500 futures options trading, which is contrary to findings using longer span daily and weekly moments. Our results lend credence to the persistence of intraday trading activities in the markets. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
