David Settle — Implied volatility is overrated - Options trading framework

Evan Medeiros — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 13:19:00 +0000

Hello everybody, our guest today is David Settle. David started in the investor education world in 2004 with Investools. He’s coached hundreds of individuals on how to invest and trade the stock, options and forex markets and he currently holds a CMT designation.

In this episode we dive into David’s options trading process and how he uses a top down market posture approach to inform his market bias and trade decisions.

We discuss some contrarian views David holds about selling options that I really enjoyed hearing as a fresh perspective.

We then get into some very practical advice on a lot of topics like: being willing to lose on trades, not getting attached to trades, selling options, volume profile, trading earnings, VIX term structure, and a whole lot more.

Please enjoy this episode with David Settle.

Key learning points

Don't get so attached to trades by keeping size small
Know how much you are going to lose and be willing to lose it
Directional strength using relative strength
How David uses volume profile to spot opportunity
High implied volatility stocks are high IV for a reason
Let the market posture dictate how bullish or bearish you should be
High probability trades equal high risk trades
No one single strategy works all the time
Every single strategy or setup has benefits and drawbacks
How David uses VIX Term structure to gauge market expectations

Brian Lund — The better you know yourself the better you’ll trade

Evan Medeiros — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:43:00 +0000

Hello everybody, our guest today is Brian Lund, a fintech executive, investor, and writer with over 35 years of trading experience.

Brian is the publisher of The Lund Loop, a weekly newsletter in which he writes about the intersection between markets, trading, and life.

In this episode we talk about what it was like getting started in the 1980s trading, we then get into some of the psychological hurdles that make trading difficult, like wanting to buy stocks when they’re cheap, and not knowing yourself well enough.

We then move on to discuss the question: When should a trader quit? That goes for when things are going well and when things aren’t working out. When should you walk away to reset or simply say “Hey I’ve made enough money today, let’s call it a day”?

Please enjoy this episode with my friend Brian Lund.

Key learning points

Buying things cheaper is something we’re conditioned to do as humans but it doesn’t always translate well in financial markets
Keep a go-to list of stocks and do your homework the night before on the levels and action areas you want to participate at
As soon as the trade is done, close the screens, get away and reset your mind
Consider having a point at which you will quit trading for the day/week/month

Sean McLaughlin — Options trading, implied volatility, & trading truths

Evan Medeiros — Mon, 24 May 2021 08:42:00 +0000

Hello everybody, our guest today is Sean McLaughlin, aka @chicagosean on social media.

Sean is the chief options strategist for All Star Charts and Senior Market Strategist at Trade Ideas. He’s been trading for over 20 years starting out as a prop trader during the late 90s, founded a hedge fund shortly thereafter, and since transitioned primarily to trading options.

In this episode we talk about the tech boom of the 1990s, some of the bad habits Sean picked up during those years, and also some of the similarities between those markets and the present day.

We then geek out on options, and discuss Sean’s framework for placing option trades, how equity traders can start using options, gamma squeezes and a whole lot more.

Please enjoy this conversation with my friend, Sean McLaughlin.

Key learning points

Message volume on Stocktwits tends to get very loud at turning points
Level II quotes aren’t as telling and powerful as they used to be
2021 markets do resemble the euphoria in the 1990s, just in smaller pockets, and not quite as widespread
Trading is really hard, the majority of people who attempt to make a living at trading cannot
The mechanics of trading is pretty easy, what’s hard is that your brain conspires against you to make it harder than it needs to be
Don’t quit your day job if you’re looking to full time trade
You need to find a strategy that fits your temperament
Starts with implied volatility for a stock before you actually place a trade
Options trading offers greater capital efficiency
Gamma squeezes, why they occur, and why they’ll continue to see them
The faster the markets get the slower Sean wants to trade

Suri Duddella — Mastering stock market chart patterns

Evan Medeiros — Mon, 03 May 2021 08:20:00 +0000

Suri Duddella joins us in Episode 2 of Smarter Trading to share his knowledge about stock market chart patterns and how he uses automation to find the best available setups.

We discuss the dangers traders can run into of self-identifying chart patterns without the proper understanding of their structure and why Suri thinks you cannot trade charts blindly without taking into consideration what the market is doing.

Key learning points

Chart patterns are a tool just like any other indicator to assist traders
It can be dangerous to discretionarily identify chart patterns
Use mathematics to detect and validate chart patterns
Master 1 or 2 chart patterns instead of trying to trade them all
Just because you see a pattern doesn’t mean the market must follow that structure
Failed chart patterns often times lead to more profitable trades
You cannot trade patterns profitably without support from market context
Identifying chart patterns are one of the last parts before placing a trade
