I have tried to be accurate on Expected move based on IV / strddles etc,, just trying to find the right way to manage it" (0:00 to 40:15) First Q in, so we have the time! We show Ric some previous content on 0 DTE spreads, insight into the Market Sentiment and how this might not relate to 0 DTE spreads necessarily, how we would approach 0 DTE spreads, why we prefer Credit Spreads vs. Debit Spreads in most cases, settings to set up the Search tool for 0 DTE spreads, a little Back Testing on 0 DTE spreads, using the Trade Simulator Tool to help evaluate returns vs. stops or triggers in this approach.

Step Back to take a look at the updated Market Sentiment Tool (59:15 to 1:00:45) Alessandro: "about covered call . when I sell the call is it correct that the expiry should be weekly? should volatility be high? I understood that I have to sell options with high volatility and buy them when volatility is low. It's correct? What do you recommend if the underlying goes down a lot? thank you very much." (1:00:50 to 1:15:05) We discuss why the Highest IV, i.e. Highest Return is NOT the Best Covered Call to Enter...and why the Lowest IV is not the Best Call to Buy. Why you need a balance of IV for selling or buying and why you want to avoid the High IV 'Known Event with Unknown Outcome' positions with directional strategies.
