    Options Boot Camp 385: Double Calendar Madness

    Can you handle the Double Calendar? In this episode of Options Boot Camp, the drill instructors tackle a strategy never before discussed on the network. Mark Longo is joined by the "Calendar King of Chicago" himself, John Kmiecik from Market Taker Mentoring (MTM), to break down the Double Calendar Spread. John reveals how the addition of Monday and Wednesday expirations for heavy hitters like Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla has completely shifted the risk-reward profile of time spreads. The guys also dive into the "Viceroy Special"—the definitive answer to when you should stop trading options and just buy the stock. On the Drill Floor: The Double Calendar: How to trade two ranges at once with lower cost and risk. The Mid-Week Edge: Leveraging new Monday/Wednesday expirations to your advantage. Spicy Volatility: Strategies to lean into (and which to avoid) when the VIX hits 30. The Rate Cut Debate: Is the market pricing in a pivot or more pain? Whether you're looking to harvest premium or survive a market whipsaw, this episode turns complex concepts into actionable drills.

    Options Boot Camp 384: Options Fool's Day

    Happy April Fool's Day! In this special "Options Fool's Day" edition of Options Boot Camp, Mark Longo is joined by guest instructor John Kmiecik from Market Taker Mentoring (filling in for Dan Passarelli, who may or may not be riding donkeys in Santorini). While the spirit of the day is lighthearted, the lessons on what NOT to do are very real. The duo dives into a "too good to be true" scenario involving high-ratio spreads, exploring the seductive but dangerous world of "free lunch" trading. We also have a bit of fun with some "breaking" (and completely fabricated) OCC volume numbers to see if the golden goose of options trading is finally cooked. In this episode, we cover: The March Pro Trading Crate Giveaway: We crown our latest winner! The "Infinite Return" Myth: A deep dive into ratio spreads, 1x4 lopsided trades, and why "zero outlay" usually comes with a massive hidden price tag. Market Satire: Analyzing the (fake) cracks in options volume and what the real state of the industry looks like. Education vs. Pranks: Distinguishing between sound strategy and the "nonsense" that can lead a small account to ruin. Disclaimer: This episode contains April Fool's satire. Please do not attempt 1x4 net short ratio spreads at home unless you enjoy financial ruin!

    Options Boot Camp 378: The Real-World Costs of Hedging

    On this episode of Options Boot Camp, hosts Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli break down the real-world price tag of portfolio protection. Using current market examples, they walk through what it costs to hedge SPY with puts across different strikes and timeframes, why "insurance" isn't free, and how volatility levels can dramatically change the math. They also tackle the evergreen debate: SPY/SPX puts vs VIX calls—and why VIX products may behave more like a speculative "kicker" than a true one-to-one hedge. Plus, a listener-driven roundtable on hedging with gold and metals, the clash between 0DTE and potential 24/5 trading, and a practical primer on volume vs open interest (and why the bid/ask spread often tells the real story). Key topics include: The real cost of hedging SPY (near-term vs longer-dated puts) Strike selection, "deductibles," and the insurance analogy How elevated volatility impacts hedge pricing VIX calls as a hedge (and why timing matters more than ever) Hedging with metals: correlation, pros/cons, and when it fails 0DTE vs 24-hour trading: are these trends incompatible? Volume vs open interest for liquidity (and what to check first) Hosts: Mark Longo (The Options Insider Media Group) & Dan Passarelli (Market Taker Mentoring) This episode is brought to you by tastytrade — check them out for powerful options trading tools, education, and low pricing at tastytrade.com/podcasts.
