I think as your saying, I'm trying to understand relatively "illiquid" markets or small markets; also, interestingly how black-sholes fits in, since in options, different than stocks, there is so much simple formulae available to establish a price. As such, how does that affect pricing ... and then how so in a much smaller market? | |

I don't know the answer, but it is certainly an interesting question. | |

| Oct 6, 2011 at 0:18 | comment | added | Matt Phillips | I don't know enough about this because I don't actively trade options on the market. But from what I know about the fundamentals of the market, either you're bid/ask size is too small/large to match up with a seller/buyer or the volume is so large that the price is moving around too fast for your lot to find a match. | |
