Tom youre the GOAT. Your efforts are appreciated and you've changed my trading habits for the better.

[@Learningwith.Miapetrone]

Tom I watch over and over all your educational videos and daily podcasts . Thank you very much for sharing all your crazy knowledge ! I blowup 2 accounts in Ameritrade I opened a tastyworks account around 6 months and paying a lot of money in education but I found that you are the only person that explains all the metrics in depth. I’m amazed how efficient and fast it’s and for the first time I’m profitable and able to help my family. What better than learn from a MARKER! Thank you again Tom ,for teaching people like me .. you help me and my family..

[@blueloo1513]

Excellent presentation Tom.

[@domainnameguy]

fantastic vlog on options I buy options in a practice account and have traded a £40k practice account to £292k balance this year which i made a vlog showing the balance etc i achieved this going long swing trading option calls etc and staying in these options for between 3 weeks ish and selling the options between 3 weeks and expiry and choosing to purposely not use stop loss but i made sure there was plenty of liquidity in account to absorb up to 3 successive gap downs should they have happened etc when my bakance was £292k i had £250k liquidity eg available to absorb overnight gap downs etc My balance has decreased to £120k but i still have £100k liquidity and just bought december options a couple of days ago but even at £120k i am still profitable from my original £40k practice account starting balance thisyear etc

[@jonathancedeno3616]

[@strive2thrive91]

Thank you for this piece

[@goobtron]

Amazing. More of this kind of content please!

[@AnnPilotFishSwimmingDownstream]

Thank you! Wonderful and informative presentation.

[@rajakumarsubramanian7927]

Awesome stuff for free 👏 👍 👌

[@GoldilocksAI]

When do we take profits on Strangles/Iron Condors? 25% or 50%?

[@Q8Patriot]

Very Helpful videos, thanks alot

[@charlesbrenneman4150]

I LOVE when he says, "We have been in a bull market for 12 years. Some day this bukll market is gonna end." hahaha. Sosnoff... He's the BEST!

[@anthonytuccinardi3998]

Amaizing lesson

[@ttran4072]

Thank you for sharing. It is amazing. Do you need to analyse chart of each stock to guess its direction before entering trades? Thank you

[@thisissomebody]

where is snp correlation shown on tasty works?

[@absolutebosscollective8202]

Thanks Tom!

[@seangreen8262]

Hi Tom Wonderful video. THANKS How did you select the stocks to trade and how do you pair them with a particular strategy?

[@m0wn3d]

Excellent piece. Thanks a lot, Tom. :-)

[@Lil_mar00]

I noticed all the options have around 30 delta. I was under the impression going for 16 delta strangles and other option strategies was ideal. With 30 delta do we get better theta / reward? Does extrinsic value decrease at the same rate for a 16 and 30 delta contract?

[@invictuslegend4405]

16 to 20 delta is recommended to start.. once you master managing positions, u can go higher deltas.

[@terrificstrand83]

thank you.

[@2023Red]

Tom. I studied every one of your You Tubes. I use Prob OTM 84 all the time. But I am seeing much higher deltas on this video. What caused you to change from the lower delta to the higher if the theme is better probability?

[@munkh-odjargalsaikhan258]

This is gold

[@josephtarbox3131]

I don’t understand how he is only using 15k of capital to put on all of those trades? Don’t you need more collateral to sell those options in those scenarios?

[@chai1134]

Thank you so much...

[@carlzeiler1537]

Thank you for all the information. Can I ask you, or anyone else who may know your reasons why you don't leg into iron condors? Thank you

[@anhsonn]

How do you calculate or where do you get the S&P Correlation number ?

[@DamianceteVideos]

"Someday... The bullmarket is gonna end" haha the SP is saying Hi!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@MrTlee7]

Tom, what do you think of this trade? 1/17/21 Long: CIICW warrants for 9.26 (11.50 exercise price) Short CIIC Feb 30.00 call for 3.70 (CIIC now at 29.97) The spread between the warrant price and the share price should narrow as the merger date approaches.

[@andreasschaub7599]

Big fan here! Just one question. Regarding the calculation of the correlation and beta figures being presented, what is the time frame and granularity of the data points used (i.e. daily, weekly, monthly...) for these calculations? Given we're generally looking at 30-45 DTE, I would assume you're looking at shorter-term time frames and more compact (daily?) data?

[@donnyh3497]

Great video Tom!

[@pkprasads]

Thank you Tom. Appreciate it.

[@BK-pl3vy]

Are there any trade management plans?

[@dgaz3057]

is the fist one a butterfly?

[@coen1052]

I'm quiet new to options. Is 2% monthly return really realistic when you follow the tastytrade methodology?

[@Global-livingg]

I'm attempting it now, 2-5% return, you can check back in a few months if you wanna see how it goes. But from what I've studied and experienced, yes, but ONLY if doing it how tom does it (look up their top dogs segment), NOT how they talk on a daily basis (selling individual stock strangles) as the primary strategy.

[@modoli]

The DTE are business days or calendar days?

[@rogerward2569]

Calendar

[@dilipraju6823]

Very nicely done

[@RicardoRodriguez-ik8wh]

Outstanding!

[@bnlhu]

amazing! thanks

[@chulie_4961]

How to choose the underlyings?

[@muxi0121]

IV and liquidity

[@danielmanahan692]

so this strategy will make you about 50 bucks a day profit, or 2k in 35 days assuming you buy/sell all the same strikes and expirations at about 20 minutes after the market opened on August 14 2020 and closed all the positions on September 18th the expiration day at about market close

[@tavze1623]

Any summary for this video

[@RoddyBezerra]

Options trade is the key .

[@hegilento]

Legend !

[@SagarRBiswal]

do you plan to hold these trades till expiry or close it before? and do you have any stoploss for the naked ones?

[@ericfortin6349]

Hi Sagar, Usually tastytraders will close a position 21 days before expiration to prevent gamma risk. Also, like said in the video, the plan is to close at 25% of max profit (though it is common practice to close at 50% of max profit - or hold until expiration - on a defined risk trade because the credit received is lower than on a naked position). If a naked option goes against you, reassess your assumption of the trade you're in: roll out in time if it's still the same or close the position at a loss if your view of it has changed. I hope it helped.

[@boredboard1]

I feel like I understand how to make these trades, but I'm still trying to figure out how to know what trades to make and on what underlying stock

[@charlierobles316]

Depends on what your goals are and what strategy you want to use or how much money you want to make

[@rogerward2569]

That's the toughest part. Set up a good scanner and start looking at lots of stocks in you price range. Then it comes down to your risk tolerance

[@peterfilbin6071]

Any chance you guys can do this same symposium for a tastybites-sized account? Like around ~$5,000

[@samuelrussell7876]

No. At some point you need capital and to grow your account

[@kenneth6847]

Nonsense. You can grow the Hell out of a $5000 account.

[@rogerward2569]

@@samuelrussell7876 Good strategy works no matter what you start with. I started with $5000 6 months ago and now over $10k

[@kodycrouch3260]

First he said we could do these trades in our IRA, but many of the strategies he suggested involve trading uncovered options. Am I missing something? I don't think that's possible in an IRA.

[@headlibrarian1996]

I am somewhat bothered by the final synopsis not saying anything about notional liquidity. By only referencing buying power I can't tell if the sample account is overleveraged or not.

[@UdaalPorga]

I don't get why he sold $3200 and $4700 BPR strangles in a $40000 account. That's more than 5% the size of his account. Any breach can influence his portfolio to a greater extent than other trades. Same goes with a $20 wide iron condor. Don't you want your defined risk trades to be a max of $800 (2% of your account size)? That being said, I still loved the talk. Appreciate how he took a contrarian and diversified approach in his trades

[@cernabonati7022]

Is 5% bad? I thought that’s the max if you’re being aggressive imo

[@dmitryyeliosof]

great job. thank you! looks like you are short on metals and long on crude for the next month

[@e2kutt50]

Gold

[@dansalvaggio]

Not sure where he comes up with the BPR number. For the short put on XLE wouldn’t BPR be $3700 (37 strike x 100)???

[@namiller01]

You don't have to cash secure puts in a margin account (you would in an IRA) typically the BP requirement is 25% of the underlying's price.

[@jacobpatterson9871]

You use margin and you can put up less money.

[@smartoptionstrader7035]

WHY 3 FAANG-Stocks AND the QQQ????

[@sungjoopark984]

looking back in hindsight, these would have been great trades lol

[@pulkitgera]

What is the significance of a 35 or 30 delta options? Why are these particular deltas / strikes being chosen?

[@ericfortin6349]

Hi Pulkit, Delta is a representation of the probability that the option in question will be In The Money at expiration. So when you sell (you are the casino) a 30 or 35 Delta, you have about 65% to 70% chances that the buyer (the gambler) will see it's option end up Out of The Money. Hope it helped.

[@zeevdoob2078]

Does SPY considered a broad index for margin calculations on option portfolio?

[@shervinghadeghan]

Dumb question: What would the other 25% of the account be composed of? Tech stocks?

[@user-fu6cw9or9h]

you got rocked on the revrse jade lizard didnt you lol

[@DriveByReviews]

when the market is getting pumped like this I have a hard time selling calls. But I understand the neutral delta mentality

[@dansalvaggio]

I’ve been selling naked puts recently, been working out well. After watching this, I’m considering a put credit spread so my buying power isn’t reduced so much...

[@jmizzonini]

Don't forget it is a different trade though, less credit received, less theta exposure, the long option is typically going to keep you in the trade longer. I do typically lean heavy on credit spreads myself only because I like to define my risk per trade as part of my core strategy which is the main reason to put one on.

[@DriveByReviews]

naked puts recently have been a dream come true. I get a special satisfaction watching them expire worthless but I get the idea of managing winners early to develop good risk management when the Bear finally hits. This market has every trading with a false sense of security!

[@rogerward2569]

Stick to expiration in the 30-50 day range. Gives the underlying stock wiggle room and you the ability to make adjustments if needed

[@hyatthank2186]

[@Areaofvalue]

Hii

[@kennethw6962]

Complexity for complexly sake. Diversifying and options is pretty senseless

[@Kylewiththesmile]

What ?

[@NothingMaster]

I have a feeling that there are genuinely good intentions behind your initiative. The problem is that option trading, in a market that’s ultimately dominated and controlled by GIGANTIC MINEY, is a fundamentally flawed “investment” strategy for the average Jane and Joe, with puny 40K accounts. Yes, you might luck out here and there, and even manage some modest winnings, but play the game long enough with those feeble account sizes and you’ll eventually lose your shirt and then some. Even people who play Texas Hold’em professionally recognize the fact that the size of your stack not only increases your chances of winning, but also, and even more crucially, defines your all-important staying power when you inevitably hit those streaks of bad luck.

[@cigarettesandcaviar6867]

This is why he spent so long discussing position sizing genius.
