[sharechat] Warrants, Options & futures - Hoops, Moira, Woody & Snoopy

Hoops

Do the warrants in NZ have a marketmaker as in aussie, i.e is the warrant 
issuer obliged to make a market in the warrant at all times or is it demand 
driven. Re the numbers , sorry mate but you lost me at the first xyz/bca = q 
so I shan't comment on that, perhaps Snoopy may like to do some numbers 
there. The reason I ask is that I have learnt a good strategy for trading 
warrants using the marketmakers obligation to trade, albeit based on a TA 
setup, however it did lead me to an interest in warrants based on that fact.
To moira I ask the question does this lack of obligation to trade, i.e my 
understanding is that there is no specialist/ market maker in options not 
scare the bejesus out of you.
Perhaps also Woody you might like to comment on this as it is this high end 
that is both profitable and can be highly risky to the learner.

Regards

Morgy
