#volatility

Last week showed what a vol pop can do for a calendar. This week shows what a vol crush can do to a calendar. Both are good lessons in volatility. I also put on a new trade and do a review of August.

This week shows a good lesson in volatility and how it can work for a trade that is set up to take advantage of a move. I had a trade come off about as quickly as I've ever had for a nice profit. I then entered a new trade for the rest of the week. As usual, there are good trading lessons even though the video is on the shorter side. Take a look!

In the final act of the present fiat money cycle, as the global financial system transitions from Dollar Hegemony to a new global monetary order, more integrated with digital solutions, the existing status quo of the last 107 years is undergoing change. With that change comes increased volatility of greater and greater magnitude, more and more frequently. With these common characteristics of the final act of every fiat money cycle, economic history repeats.  

Cash is No Longer a Risk Free Asset

The number one financial priority for individuals and families is defensive positioning of monetary assets, for the purpose of maintaining purchasing power, preserving wealth, and protecting capital. A shift in methodology that is conducive to this new paradigm, empowers investors to understand and anticipate the changes and the volatility ahead. Positioning monetary assets defensively is the key essential first step in preparation for maintaining and increasing the asset purchasing power of capital. Cash deposits terms require additional due diligence in respect of counter-party risk and insolvency claims, and are no longer risk free assets, but instead are guaranteed to lose their asset purchasing power, by the debasing policies central banks utilize to provide economic stimulus, and negative interest rates.

No Escape from Volatility- increasing Magnitude and Frequency

Confirmation of the onset of this final act of the present fiat money cycle, has been provided in the greater magnitude and frequency of volatility of asset pricing. The increasingly frail global monetary system reels and fluctuates during the last 9 months of increased geopolitical, macroeconomic, and unexpected external shocks (such as Covid-19). Even the fundamental need for a secure habitat for living is now a need that is being satisfied as an investment asset, leading to rural migration within some countries, and cross border migration for 2nd passport citizenship investments elsewhere.( https://www.mytapu.com/Citizenship-Investment-Turkey.html ). The only certainty in this external environment is change itself. A better methodology for this new paradigm provides the sound defensive positioning of monetary assets as a foundation for better performance of investment assets, to ensure asset purchasing power is preserved and increased.

Developed World Economies are Converging Towards Increased Instability

The frail economies of the developing world can no longer be expected to converge to the more stable model of the developed world’s economies. Instead, the opposite is true- the previously stable economies of the developed world are converging towards a more volatile state, characteristic of more frail developing economies. ( https://www.mytapu.com/blogs/post/Second-Passports-Wealth-Economics-Maximum-Benefit-Minimum-Cost-Turkeys-Citizenship-Investment-Program-CBI-CIP/ ) This is an inevitable feature of the final act of the US Dollar fiat money cycle.

This week was interesting in part because my trades behaved almost identically to last week. I got a calendar off for a good profit, I put on a new one, and I put on a butterfly that didn’t last the week and closed for the exact same amount. Sometimes history does repeat itself.

Who is back is our old friend Volatility. After about a 6 week absence, the market has started moving a bit. Fortunately, I've been waiting for it and in this episode you'll see how that helped pay off quickly. I also put on some new trades, one of which doesn't work out but I get out at near break even.

No slides this week but I do talk about 2 trades. The continuation of my VIX vertical trade and a new SPX butterfly. The market was pretty quiet until Friday. See what happens.

If you like this kind of stuff, please like, share, subscribe, etc. But, most importantly, leave feedback.

This video is a companion to the TR video "When Volatility Hurts". The idea is to show how Vega can work in favor of a trade when the trade is positioned favorably for a spike in volatility. We had a spike in volatility earlier this week and this video shows how it helped a calendar trade as the underlying continued to go down.

Please like, share, subscribe, etc. but, more importantly, start a conversation. You can do that here on BitChute or over on Gab and I'll be glad to answer any questions or give my perspective on your feedback.

This episodes tackles volatility, a confusing topic to new options traders but very important. Please send follow-ups if you have questions or comments
