Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel!

[@farhanalimahomed1399]

I think this was one of your best chosen topics to discuss as retail investors like myself are definitely in the dark about some of these concepts. Thanks for doing this webinar.

[@OptionsPlay]

Hi Farhan, absolutely! I am so glad I could help clarify this concept!

[@heldercristovao8255]

First! Nice job on the liquidity explanation. It seems people misuse the term when looking at something with wide spreads. I’ve learned something today!

[@OptionsPlay]

Thanks Helder, glad the content was helpful!

[@TEEHEE0209]

Great video Tony! If I had one suggestion going forward, could you time stamp the video as per the listed agenda? It makes finding specific portions of the video a lot easier.

[@redpillpharmacist]

Thank you, Tony! I am learning so much from you, and I wish I understood THIS basic concept from the start! You are a blessing to me!

[@joeko8253]

so volume of the underlying determines liquidity of the options?

Fantastic content. Sharing this with team/clients. Hope all is well.

[@loreall.2461]

Great content, Tony. I’d really like to see a video with insight on how market makers price new options. Also I understand a market maker will also price options as an incentive to move a market given the risk on his book.

[@justchilling_.]

Great information 👍.

[@michaelmcguire2913]

Great video! Do the market makers look at theta and will they be more agressive to be positive theta? I dont think they can off set theta with shares like they do with delta, unless im mistaken

35:45 So you are saying that if I set my order to sell for 7.85 and you set an order to buy at 7.85 the market maker would not match them? How else the orders could be there?

[@jameslim4525]

Good stuff !

[@OptionsPlay]

Thanks James!

[@teretere9038]

Tony a question: when buying theses call writing ETF eg $SLVO silver Call write ETF ( no position ) if Silver where to spike eg $50 or $60 These ETF's now are Synthetic short uncovered hence volatility to the downside. noticed in March 2020 Call write ETF corrected very hard some maintained their distribution some did not. So they basically require a stable environment with range bound volatility correct ?

[@chrism169]

Very informative as always Tony. Question for you - I notice sometimes that immediately after I place my order the bid or ask immediately jumps further away, seemingly as a result of my order. For example, B/A spread on a SPY put I wanted to buy to close was $0.02/$0.03; I put a buy order in at $0.02 and the Ask immediately jumped from $0.03 to $0.10. Can you explain this? Thanks

[@coledigirolamo7347]

slippage!

[@munster1404]

I’m thinking about debit spreads in 0DTE SPX (cash settled) during situations of low volatility where selling options is not as profitable. A debit spread opened deep ITM and allowed to expired ITM will generate a profit equivalent to the spread after settlement. For example a debit of $4.50 paid for a 5 wide spread will, at expiry be worth a credit of $5 hence netting a profit $0.50 at EOD if the strike price is ITM. This strategy will seem viable if a credit spread gives significantly less than $0.50 for rote mechanical trades that advocate opening trades at 10 delta or less. But the problem with deep ITM options is the lack of open interest and volume. So if the market maker (MM) is out to facilitate trades, does this mean I should be able get a fill (if the ask/bid price is satisfactory) even if open interest and/or volume are at extremely low levels to zero?

Can somebody help me understand why if I buy a .53 delta call option the market maker would buy 53 shares of the underlying and not 100 shares since each contract is 100 shares?

[@jovianblue]

The price of the option will not change by a whole dollar if the price moves in that region, it will just change by about .53 so they just need to buy 53 shares. As the option becomes deeper ITM, they can just buy more shares or sell them if the price moves away from the option, and you'll see the delta increase or decrease, too. Maybe this could even explain a lot of the volatility and price swings in the market today because the market makers are buying and selling lots of shares based on increased option usage.

[@thefuckingpearl]

Dude 0.53 delta would be hedged by buying 0.53×100=53 shares and not 100 shares. If the delta is 1 then it would be hedged by buying 1×100=100 shares , get it?

[@user-yc6dc3yg1c]

Like your video! What do you think about these: 1. FX Liquidity does not matter whether it is from closing a long or short position, it can be taken by MM/banker/any trader to open as a long or short position. Is this statement true or false? Please advise with detailed educational advice. 2. Because FX is a zero sum game, if the liquidity is worth USD$10.01m it cannot be taken one cent more or less it must be digested exactly with the same amount by the MM/banker/any trader. Is this statement true or false?

[@OptionsPlay]

1.Generally speaking, that is true because of the depth of liquidity available in the currency markets, it is the largest market in the world. As a retail trader, you will never be able to use up all of the liquidity on either side of a MM/Bank’s liquidity so going long/short has the effect of unlimited liquidity to you as a retail trader. 2.I’m not sure I understand this question, if you could rephrase it, or give me a real example, I’m happy to try to answer it.

[@olvinfuentes7514]

18:00 does the market maker collect theta?

[@iceycloud1]

Hey, I want to know if I put 1 million on a 0DTE on SPX, SPY, Or QQQ on one strike price are you telling me that I wouldn’t have liquidity issues? Tbh it’s very hard to find option traders that actually reply back lol

[@mmolokikebosedilekae5689]

its insane this video is from so long yet people are still misled

[@toughbiblepassages9082]

this guy said “type yes or no in the chat” 1 million times before getting 10 minutes into this talk.. i bailed

[@ClownTrader1]

So, dont worry about liquidity basically? Ever? No "liquidity" just means you need to pay a higher premium to trade?

[@Chris-gz4ie]

How do you become a market maker

Gosh this guy wastes time like a Boomer. I am a full 6 minutes in and he has yet to say anything other than what he plans to talk about. Doesn't he know this is KZbin? Some options videos are over and done by this time ... forget this!

Ok .I thought it’s a little drawn out too. But the information is there , so it is what it is.
