Confirm and Send
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Nick and Tony expect S&P 500 trading to stay within a range, potentially reaching 7,000 by year-end with low volume and volatility. Current market shows S&Ps up 28 points and NASDAQ up 159.
The Confirm and Send segment addressed key options questions including gamma risk, which increases near expiration when options must ultimately become either 0 or 100 delta. Nick and Tony emphasized following mechanical trading processes to mitigate this risk.
Additional questions covered liquidity constraints in options trading, pin risk at expiration, volatility of volatility (VVIX), correlation spikes during market pullbacks, and theta acceleration near expiration.
Nick and Tony consistently emphasized practical applications over theoretical discussions: "I love the high-level discussion about options and volatility, but at the end of the day, what strategy are you going to use to capture that?"
