    Options Boot Camp 396: SPCX Options and Rogue Iron Condors

    What happens when paper trading meets the real world? On this episode of Options Boot Camp, Mark Longo is joined by Dan Passarelli (Market Taker Mentoring) and Matt Amberson (ORATS) to tackle one of the biggest challenges for premium sellers: why a single losing iron condor can wipe out weeks of steady gains. The discussion covers practical risk management techniques for credit spreads, when to take profits, how to manage losing trades, and why backtesting is just as important as paper trading. The panel also dives into the explosive launch of SPCX (SpaceX) options, including record-breaking volume, sky-high implied volatility, and why experienced traders approached the frenzy very differently. Finally, the crew answers listener questions about zero-DTE options, VIX term structure, calendar spreads, and whether the options market has fundamentally changed over the past few years. In this episode you'll learn: Why paper trading can create unrealistic expectations Managing iron condors before one trade wipes out multiple winners Profit-taking vs. stop-loss rules for credit spreads How backtesting can improve trading discipline What made the SPCX options launch historic Trading ultra-high implied volatility Have 0DTE options changed options trading forever? Managing calendar spreads during volatility spikes Why you still can't trade spot VIX

    Options Boot Camp 395: Should You Stop Selling ODTE Options Part 2....The Revenge!!!

    Is the 0DTE premium-selling boom finally running out of steam? Or are premium sellers still holding the winning hand? In this highly anticipated follow-up to one of our most popular episodes, Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli revisit the question: Should you stop selling 0DTE options? This time, they're armed with something they didn't have before—real intraday backtesting data. Joining the program is Matt Amberson, Founder of ORATS, who brings years of options analytics expertise and a treasure trove of intraday options data to the discussion. Together they dive deep into: The results of extensive 0DTE SPX backtesting Why short strangles continue to outperform in many market environments The surprising impact of trade timing on 0DTE profitability Why selling premium near the open may be far superior to waiting until midday The risks and rewards of short strangles versus iron condors Double calendars and other alternatives for traders seeking defined risk How ORATS built one-minute options data and intraday backtesting tools Whether the new generation of single-name 0DTE options (NVDA, TSLA, MSFT and more) changes the game

    The markets are getting spicy! In this listener-driven episode, Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli break down the sudden return of volatility, wild 245-point S&P 500 swings, and the VIX crossing back over 20. Topics covered include: Buying Straddles: Is a massive market swing the right time to load up on options premium, or are you buying at the absolute top? Is It Too Late for Puts?: How to hedge when the market drops 4-5% off all-time highs and why the Cboe Skew Index is mostly obtuse for retail traders. The $30 Wheel Rule: Why Dan avoids running the Wheel Strategy on cheap stocks (and how bid-ask spreads quietly crush your profits). Vega vs. Theta: Can you make money if implied volatility (IV) explodes but the stock sits perfectly still? Plus, the guys dig into AI math failures and a massive cultural detour into the only correct way to order a Portillo's Italian beef sandwich (completely dunked!).

    Options Boot Camp 393: Are Weekends Dead?

    The traditional closing bell is officially on life support. In this episode of Options Boot Camp, Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli break down the seismic shift hitting the markets: the transition to 23/5 and 24/7 trading for equities and single-stock options. With Cboe securing SEC approval for 23/5 stock trading and launching extended-hours options trading for top names like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Palantir, the guys discuss what this means for liquidity, overnight risk, and the psychological impact on retail traders. We also take a deep dive into the mailbag to answer a vital options theory question: When does theta decay stop helping options sellers? (Hint: Beware the Gamma Beast!)

    Options Boot Camp 392: Are Prediction Markets Too Expensive?
