Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

192: This Week in Options Trading | Market Outlook & Options Strategies
Q: What are you looking at for trades this week?
We're focusing on end-of-day adjustments, especially adjusted iron condors and delta-limited spreads, because the intraday moves have been too erratic so you want defined risk and the theta decay at the close.
185: Inside My SPX Strategy with Option Omega
Q: How does the system handle market gaps and volatility?
We use a Gap Filter to skip or reduce trades on days with large gaps, which helps avoid disproportionate losses and reduces volatility exposure while still providing a framework for selective trading when conditions are more favorable.
185: Inside My SPX Strategy with Option Omega
Q: What do you trade now?
We use a Trend Spread Engine-driven approach that analyzes intraday trends and time-of-day windows to select put or call credit spreads with Delta targets around 20, aiming for trades that expire worthless and fit within a disciplined weekly backtesting framework.
169: 💡 LEAP Call Strategy for Options Income with Brian Terry
Q: How do you determine when to exit the entire leap position?
Brian suggests closing the trade if the stock blows through the short call, indicating a profitable long call.
167: 🎯Bullish Put Diagonal Discussion
Q: How much capital do you need for that?
The average cost of the trade is about $8, with some as low as $2.53.
