Options 101 Topic List

That sounds like a good idea. Any suggestions for the next meeting topic(s)?
 
This is a great idea, Tom! I'm hoping you gauge interest by not only attendees at the live sessions, but also by traders like me who aren't able to make the session, but do catch up using the YouTube recording. Thanks so much for posting those!

Most of us are income traders, we concentrate a lot on theta, but have a poor understanding of the impact of implied volatility on our positions. this could be a good topic for discussion.

Are these on YT? I'm not seeing any there.
 
I believe only the Round table meetings are on YT the other ones you have to subscribe to watch it live or have a gold membership to go through the archives
The Round Tables are on YouTube as public videos. All other videos are "unlisted" so you need to go through the member's site library to access them.
 
I had a COVID reattack yesterday and slept 12+ hours today. I'm not feeling great but I'll try to get the presentation done for tomorrow. There may be a chance I have to slip it if I'm not feeling great later today.
 
I was wondering if the Options 101 presentation was done given your condition
I did not get a chance to attend it live and I don't see it in the library but I see Amy's presentation that was done later on the same day so I am not sure if the meeting was cancelled or it's just not posted yet
 
No.. I felt horrible and didn't feel up to working on a powerpoint presentation :) I rescheduled for this week.

 
Hi Tom : It will be fantastic if you can arrange a session with one of the larger market makers (citadel for instance is the largest).

Questions to be addressed with them:

1. Is there still a weekend decay effect in 2022, or is this an old myth ?

2. How do they address pricing of complex option trades-- for instance a butterfly/iron order with 4 arms. How does the bid, ask and mark price differ in terms of the trade likely going through during high volatility and low volatility

3. How do they address pricing of less complex option trades-- spreads with 2 arms. Is it better to get a complex order (4 arms) filled as a single order or break it upto into 2 spreads from a pricing basis ?

4. Movement of implied volatility of all large options in relation to the VIX-- the spx/spy implied volatility, is obviously representative of the VIX and moves together. How about the other larger Indexes-- RUT and NDX ?

5. How much is the movement in price of the options relatively within a day, if the market prices not moving, meaning is the theta decay mostly overnight, or how much does it decay in the daytime? how does their supercomputers address this ?

6. Which are the best brokers in terms of speed of order execution from their perspective ?
