That was amazing. Tom didn't interrupt once! 😁 A great summary Tony!

[@Mattttttt6]

lol

[@JonValtandtheEvilRobots]

HAHA I love this comment.

[@BreakBomb]

This is basically several months worth of learning, crammed into 17 minutes 🔥

[@Worldgonemad91]

It’s overwhelming .I stay with the single option for now

[@marcus_fields]

🔥

[@sebastiandrozd18]

This video is just exceptional. PLEASE HAVE TONY DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS!! I respect Mike and Dr. Jim, but the flow that tony has is just unbeatable. I am never bored for a second when listening to Tony except when its on the podcast lol

[@markmcnair5864]

That was the fastest/most comprehensive short strangle breakdown I think I've ever seen Tony do!

[@soulsister5539]

This was the most informative, concise bullet point 'tutorial' on mechanics of the most profitable option strategies. THANK YOU!!

[@robertflindall4692]

Fantastic video - can't thank you enough for posting this Tony! I've just started my Options trading education odyssey and I've been drinking from the fire hose everyone keeps talking about. This single video takes me from my shotgun approach to learning about options and brings together a solid foundation in my head where I can really start solidifying my mechanics. Excellent, just excellent! Now for you guys to bring Tastyworks up here to Canada! Hint hint! Lol.

[@TubeStantin]

One of the best videos out there. Straight forward, with all the important detail.

[@mikelam9253]

I don’t know how many times I have to watch this

[@nixodian]

IMHO, not only is Tony one of the most knowledgeable traders but he is one of the worlds best dads. I know he isn’t my dad but to this day I’m still waiting for him to adopt me!

[@mtcbdth]

Absolutely love these guys, thank you tastytrade!

[@surfcruzer]

Gotta love Tony!

[@kenneth6847]

Very nice of you to do that program. Very enlightening and not overly verbose and technical.

[@69gtojudge1000]

This was the most informative 17 minute video ever. I watched the video to try to fall asleep at 3am but am wide awake now and will not get any more sleep tonight. Thank you very much for the information. Invaluable

[@sadeghbairami.m1887]

The best video I've ever seen about option strategies. Thank you!!!!!!

[@bhaskardebnath6401]

Blast here also......1st strategy was explained in gr8 details....same reduced as progressed.....e.g VIX & delta ... outstanding clarity was provided 👍👍

[@sunilparekh2001]

Great presentation. Liking the strangles and well explained.

[@mikelong9638]

Nice video Tony!

[@ricomajestic]

Great summary of all of the tasty trade option strategies and how they're managed. Great stuff!

[@tradeSPY]

Amazingly concise and well presented, what I'd like as add on is which strategies to employ under various market situations

[@jcnash47]

Always love these kind of reviews. Great job outta you, Bat!

[@johnwisdom9208]

This is one of THE best commentary on options that I’ve ever seen. Great stuff!

[@EV.Futue.Enthusiast]

Thanks Tony! Awesome presentation with Tons of information. I'm going take a few days to digest. Being a relatively new trader, I appreciate you laying it all out there in an organized manner.

[@MoneyVikings]

Great show! Flew to SF to see a longer version last year, it was awesome! I should re-watch this every few months :)

[@rgeorgek42]

So calming to hear BAT ✌🏻

[@leu2304]

Great explanation! Thanks Tony!

[@BlasianDT]

Amazing info!! You guys are great and very much appreciated in the options and trading community!!

[@sanjayagrawal9915]

For short strangle it’s 30 delta on each side !!! Till now my understanding was Tastytrade suggesting 16 delta or 1 SD!! Please correct and update me on this as this mechanic is very very important!! Thanks for a very concise and beautiful presentation 👍👍👍👍👍

[@osman3404]

If IVR is very high and premium is very good then you can do the delta 16 but in current environment when IV is not too high or too low the 30 delta gives you the sweet spot of enough premium without too much too much whiplash

[@naufeltajudeen3769]

Don't think of it as a suggestion of which delta to select. That's not what they are trying to do. Try to understand the risk reward trade off that each delta represents. We all have different risk tolerances. Tom and Tony have a difference risk tolerance based on their personal experiences. If they are suggesting anything it's to start low and go slow.

[@parthmaheshwari6002]

Thanks for this ! It is amazing . You guys rock ! Especially you Tony

[@osman3404]

WOOOOW, that’s was awesome and quick summary. Loved it. Thanks

[@jayd8393]

Absolutely Fantastic.

[@JamJells]

Nice crunch course. Will be looking for more of these. It needs to be said I got about 40% of this because learning to know directions on Calls and Puts and the Greeks takes time. DELTA understanding and how to shop them. It will take more videos to break these components down as many of those get tripped up as I attach these in theory. YTB Tony!

[@hiatuz3512]

This was great thank you!

[@svenskjimand]

As many other viewers have said, Tony this is a great summary of trading options. Thank you.

[@898LocoMartin]

Thanks Tony for that video, I had a blast waching it

[@kapetanj4696]

Holy Trading, Batman, thank you so much. You and Tom and ALL the tastytrade staff simplify the trading process so much with clear education.

[@jaxsons3339]

Great job, BATS! I love these new vids right to the point!

[@MartinBlais]

At 6:50, I think Tony misspoke, the decrease in options prices due to vol contraction has little to do with theta decay, everything to do with vega.

[@jaymitchell7827]

That was great, very good at explaining mechanics

[@RealDyl75]

Excellent content. Worth rewatching

[@mpuchatek]

Perfect. Good decks.

[@canadian_investor7979]

Excellent, I learned more from this video than a course I just completed

[@jbirchtree3615]

Bat's the best!

[@pkprasads]

Great video Tony. Thanks

[@TheGandorX]

Good overview of the main strategies. About the iron condor "width of the strikes" : I think you can be a bit more clear that you mean the width of the put spread, which equals the width of the call spread.

[@hasimulaziz4875]

Impressive for me Thanks a lot

[@carmenfernandez789]

Thank you soooooooo much Tony Amezing video. God bless you and the all team at tastyworks. Best platform ever. 🙏🙏🙏

[@BenGras]

You da man Tony

[@jeffreyhalverson2611]

Thanks Tony. Don't tell Tom, but I 'get' your explanations much better than His!

[@joeylaframboise3161]

Great video! What would you recommend for the call delta for the iron condor? 20 delta 15?

[@elcoquirivera4503]

Nice 👍

[@im411seeker]

Hey Tony, I've been watching you guys since the beginning, and this is awesome. Thanks for all you do.

[@letsdothis6274]

RESPECT!!! Tony!!!👍🏻

[@jaysteve4442]

Great great great video!!!! Thank you

[@raysteel6317]

High IV Rank very easy to find.....If you live in the USA. Tastyworks and or ToS not available here as far as I know and if Im wrong please enlighten. So if these are not available how about a 3rd "easy" place to find for us unfortunate Crazy Canadians following you guys....Love your work, all of you guys!

[@MrCurtis61]

So In esscence we ar using the Delta amt. to determine if the stock will break above or below our stikes causing the short strangle to be ITM or worthless to us as being on the short side? For instance what if another indicator such as elliott wave or ADX is expecting a breakout ?

[@Blue58Blue58]

Good stuff Tony but I have a question...when you say to do the strangle at a 30 delta does that mean sell the 15 delta put and 15 delta call? I would think if I sold a 30 delta put plus 30 delta call that would only be 40% chance of success?

[@larryburke7675]

I wish I could give this video 100 recs😊 Thanks so much!

[@RanjanKumar-lb6pl]

Please make in detail videos of these strategies

[@aprendeinvirtiendo5292]

Tan guapo como inteligente, super interesante Tom, gracias....

[@valeriansteele]

Is tasty trade on Roku?

[@teokiatuan2]

Tom and Tony are both better solo
