Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan open the week with Tom's full Trades of the Week — a crude oil Jade Lizard, a SpaceX put spread, and a broken-wing butterfly in AMD — then get into some of the sharpest market discussion of the season. They break down why "playing it safe" with vertical spreads may actually be costing traders money in this volatility environment, why prediction markets and zero-day options have permanently changed how retail trades, and whether the resume is officially dead. Tony Battista joins mid-show with a more bullish read on the market, sparking a real debate on position sizing, defined vs. undefined risk, and how to set a return target that actually makes sense for an active trader. Callers and the dog pound keep it honest with questions on rolling short puts in Tesla, iron condor management, and CME margin mechanics.

1:31:44 Final market wrap-up
With every rally treated as a potential sale, Tom Sosnoff's bearish lean collides with Tony Battista's more optimistic read — and that tension runs through the whole show. The broader market context here is real: volatility has structurally changed what options strategies actually work. The old playbook of 45-day verticals and iron condors is under pressure not because those strategies are wrong, but because daily 1% moves in the S&P, zero-day expirations, and prediction market access have compressed trader time horizons in ways that make wider, more flexible structures — diagonals, jade lizards, broken-wing butterflies — increasingly relevant. Meanwhile, the question of what a resume even means in 2026, when AI can assess professional value from a LinkedIn profile and portfolio, isn't abstract anymore. Lossdog is building directly into that shift.
