Donald Trump’s First Week Back as President, 0 DTE and an Iron Condor Deepdive: Catch Up on What You Missed!
By:Ryan Gaynor
A new administration in Washington is changing the rules. If you're willing to kiss the ring, there's little to no doubt you can curry favor. But what does that mean for the economy? Competition, a key ingredient of a successful market economy, has the power to drive ambition. But what will it do to the markets if we move into an economy that requires everyone to agree with the leader of the free world? Tom Sosnoff and Dylan Ratigan cover that and more on this week's episode.
Sosnoff and Tony Battista bring us a new research study revealing how to dramatically reduce buying power requirements for 0 DTE strangles in SPX from $120,000 to under $10,000. Research shows adding cheap wings 700 points away cuts capital needs by 90%-95% while maintaining similar profit potential. Key viewing for traders looking to optimize their zero DTE strategy.
This study shocked Sosnoff and Battista. After analyzing more than 5,000 iron condor trades over 12 years, they discovered $5 wide wings consistently failed—regardless of stock price. Our research reveals a potential wing width formula: adding $5 for every $100 in stock price.
