In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live
On the surface, the markets look calm… The MOVE Index — bond volatility — is still hovering near multi-year lows. And ever since January’s swings, markets have been on relatively stable footing. But underneath that calm, structural pressure is building. That’s what we’re watching. The CBOE VVIX is inching higher. And the VIX itself is flashing red as we head into March. Regular viewers shouldn’t be surprised – I’ve been sounding the alarm over the last month as a host of catalysts stoke volatility. Countries like China, India, and Brazil continue reducing U.S. Treasury exposure. At the same time, the yen carry trade is under strain as the currency strengthens — a dynamic that historically tightens global liquidity. So the surface calm in equities is masking pressure building underneath — in rates, currencies, commodities, and options markets. That disconnect between the headlines and what the markets are really doing? That’s exactly where we operate here at Masters in Trading. Mispriced volatility in materials and tech stocks continues to tip off my Unusual Options Activity (UOA) Scanner. Over the last few weeks alone, we’ve locked in several earnings wins as volatility picks up in the broader market. That includes more than 140% on TeraWulf (WULF), a solid double in United States Natural Gas Fund LP (UNG)… And even a whopping a 600%+ gainer on Fastly (FSLY). Those weren’t headline trades. They were volatility repricing trades. Cheap volatility will hand us even more opportunities from here. And right now, my goal is to get our education up as equity markets struggle to find durable footing from here. That’s why, every show this week, I’m opening with a 5-question options quiz before we hit the markets. It’s the perfect opportunity to take everything you’ve learned in my daily LIVEs — fixed risk, thesis-driven exits, laddered entries, defined-duration trades, and emotional discipline — and put it into practice as we look for new volatility-based trade setups from here. Not only that… Like I mentioned at the top, I’m also rolling out the full Masters in Trading LIVE Community Hub to the Discord community. Check out everything the hub has to offer right here. And for anyone who wants to take the next important step in mastering our volatility-based trading framework… I highly encourage you to check out The Masters in Trading Options Challenge? For seven days, I walk you through the foundations of real options trading – just the way I learned over 28+ years trading options. You’ll learn exactly how I think, exactly how I build trades, and exactly how I manage both the winners and the losers. That’s all available for you in the Masters in Trading Options Challenge. And make sure you join me for today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11AM EST. I’ll walk you through the volatility signals I’m watching in the VIX, VVIX, and MOVE indexes – and I’ll explain how we adapt our system to capture some cheap volatility from here.
