After 12 years, Mike Butler is signing off from tastylive. He started out exactly where a lot of you are. A viewer, trying to figure out how options worked. His parting advice is pure Mikey: live life like a long call option. Go talk to your gym crush. Apply for the job you’ll never get. Take the trip with no itinerary. Some of it expires worthless. Some of it doesn’t. “Who knew this call option would turn into a 12 year LEAP.” Thank you for everything, @TraderMikeyB 🍒

$VIX and $VVIX at highs everything is imploding... If you think 20% down from here is probably enough you can do some pretty interesting trades selling puts to buy calls SPY (or SPX) JAN 620p/790c for $1 credit QQQ JAN 550p/725c $1.63 credit Break even is roughly the APR low

This morning into the up move I bought in some of the downside risk and sold some upside risk (legged into a super bull) VIX down -15% and SPX up ~1%. If it reverses ill scalp out of the long put and short call.

if it wasn't friday... I would have held for a day or 2 more. Given the move/vol crush mid day I figured it was best to reduce risk

Correlation and beta are two things most people don't consider until the shit hits the fan. We've been running a 0DTE SPX portfolio for a year now, and here are some of the stats. A quick thread on why you need to start looking into zero-day SPX as an addition to your portfolio. youtube.com/watch?v=0XAMO1ja… 🧵🧵🧵

A small edge on a large number of occurrences, with almost no beta and no correlation to the market, allows you to have a strategy that, over time, can have measurable returns. Those Market Makers are rich, they play a similar game!
