    114: What is Options Net Flow?

    114: What is Options Net Flow?

    In this episode, I'll briefly explain what options net flow is. In short, many of the options flow providers now offer some version of options net flow which is a graphical way to gauge the options sentiment of a stock or index. I find this mush more useful and applicable compare to the traditional overwhelm of a grid based data feed.

    113: The Life Cycle of an Options Trade

    In this episode, I got to speak to Mat Cashman, Principal of Investor Education at OCC. Mat takes us through the life cycle of an options trade by explaining the inner workings of the market and some of the players and institutions that make it all possible.
    One of those institutions is the OCC (The Options Clearing Corporation) which is the world’s largest equity derivatives clearing organization. For nearly 50 years, OCC has provided financial stability and risk management to the U.S. listed-options marketplace.

    111: To Hold or Not to Hold to Expiration

    111: To Hold or Not to Hold to Expiration

    In this episode, we'll try to answer the question of whether or not holding to expiration is better than taking profits early when being a net options seller. We'll explore this question by comparing a recently posted SPX Weekly Options Strategy from the SPX Income Masterclass.
    We'll compare holding the trades to expiration from 2021-2023 vs. taking profits a 50% of the max gain. As we'll discuss, strike selection and win rate can be determining factors in deciding when to take profits as part of the strategy you are trading.

    110: Rolling an Iron Condor for Beginners

    In this episode, I detail a recent Iron Condor trade I ended up rolling up and out due to bullish stock market conditions.
    I'll explain how I was able to recenter the Iron Condor around the current price without having to add any more risk to the trade. This allowed me to stay in the trade longer so I could profit from time decay.

Thumpybones ,

Great content!

I enjoy Eric’s show very much. It’s always well presented and informative. I recently signed up for his service, Alphacrunching.com, and he has been very helpful with that service also!

Czarmogul ,

Honest and informative

I was lucky to find this show with all the get rich quick scam personalities out there. Eric is clearly a smart and conscientious guy presenting a high quality podcast. I really like the fact that he has a mix of content that includes high level/broad overview concepts and thoughts along with detailed mechanics of trading and also his own views as well as those of the people he interviews.

Great show!
