Update: 2025-10-17
Description
Hosts Nick and Tony conducted an intense Fast Market session during extreme volatility, with Nick celebrating closing profitable butterfly positions in HIMS ($1 profit) and an AMD call ratio spread that had been "fully in the money" before stocks surged 50%. The session featured seven successful trades including an AMD 180-280 skewed strangle at $8.55 capturing bearish sentiment post-rally, OSCAR 17 puts at $1.36, PAAS December 40/November 45 call diagonal at $2.44 (with Nick getting aggressive 50 cents off mid-market), NVIDIA 160-210 iron condor with 20-point wings at $4.31, Oracle 240-350 strangle at mid-price after Nick strategically legged out of prior iron condor put spread yesterday, and UNH November 320 puts at $5.81. The precious metals crash provided major relief with gold down $60 and silver down $2.60 (5%), helping their short positions including Nick's 3,800-3,850-3,900 butterfly that was 300 points in the money. The session emphasized nimbleness with markets swinging wildly - at one point E-minis moved from -26 to +8 while Nick stressed going "at good prices" since market makers are "taking whatever they can get" during volatile days.
