  • IV Crush: What It Is, and How to Trade It
    Jun 17 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode explains "IV Crush" in options trading, a phenomenon where the implied volatility (IV) of an option sharply declines after a significant event, like an earnings announcement or Federal Reserve meeting. The hosts clarify that IV is the market's expectation of future price movement, and it inflates option prices before such events. However, once the event passes, uncertainty vanishes, leading to a rapid drop in IV and, consequently, option values, often to the detriment of option buyers. The hosts, seasoned traders, then propose a strategy to profit from IV Crush by selling options using methods like Iron Condors, rather than buying them, as this strategy benefits from the subsequent decrease in volatility.

  • SPY Max Pain? What It Means and How Traders Use It
    Jun 9 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode discusses the concept of max pain in options trading, specifically relating to the SPY ETF. It explains that max pain represents the strike price where the largest number of options will expire worthless, causing the most financial difficulty for option holders while benefiting sellers. The hosts argue that while not a perfect predictor, understanding max pain can be a useful tool for traders, particularly as SPY expiration nears, especially when there are no major news events or high volatility. Experienced traders might use this information to refine their trading strategies, like selecting strikes for iron condors, although it should not be the sole basis for a trade. They also suggest that institutional pinning may play a role in price action gravitating towards max pain levels. Read the whole blog article at https://advancedautotrades.com/spy-max-pain/

  • Buying Versus Selling Options
    May 21 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode explains the fundamental differences between buying and selling options, outlining the rights of the buyer and the obligations of the seller for both call and put contracts. It clarifies how buyers pay a debit for a right and sellers receive a credit for an obligation, impacting potential profit and risk. The hosts also differentiate between trading with cash and trading with margin, noting that cash is typically required for long positions and in retirement accounts, while margin is more common for short positions and allows for borrowing to cover a portion of potential risk.

  • Stock vs. Options Trading Differences
    May 2 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode contrasts stock trading and options trading, highlighting the differences in their approaches and potential outcomes. While stock trading typically involves a single directional choice (buy or sell) and requires significant capital, the text explains that options trading offers more flexibility and potentially greater leverage. Crucially, options strategies allow traders to profit in various market conditions, not just when a stock moves in a predicted direction, which the source argues provides a competitive advantage. The hosts focus on the benefits of options trading, particularly the ability to create strategies with a higher probability of success compared to the inherent 50/50 nature of predicting a stock's movement.

  • What Is an Option Contract?
    Apr 25 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode explains that an options contract is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and a seller. This contract grants the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to either buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) an underlying stock at a predetermined price (the strike price) by a specific future date (the expiration date). The hosts use analogies, like a coupon, to clarify the concept and emphasizes that options were initially created as a tool for managing risk in trading.

  • Spreads vs. Naked Options – What Professional Traders Know
    Apr 16 2025

    This episode explores Spreads vs. Naked Options in the context of the inherent difficulties in accurately predicting the direction, magnitude, and speed. The hosts argue that buying or selling individual calls or puts is akin to gambling, exposing traders to excessive and undefined risk, particularly with naked options. Option spreads, such as bull call spreads and credit spreads, are presented as strategic alternatives that define risk, lower costs, and offer a higher probability of success by reducing the need for precise market timing and large price movements. The hosts emphasise that spreads allow traders to manage the three dimensions of options trading effectively and can even profit from time decay, unlike single long options. This trading philosophy centres on defined-risk strategies to achieve consistent returns, highlighting their own success using option spreads and advising against the risky practice of selling naked options.
