The host breaks down how to spot call skew in real time using the options chain, what it actually means when the market prices velocity of risk to the upside, and how to take advantage of it when selling premium. Then a live trade: selling the QQQ July 755 calls for a $1.69 credit, with 20-25 points of cushion above the current price and call skew working in your favor on order entry.
