Two trading cultures meet on one desk. Selling volatility into an earnings print is the core of one approach, and at a proprietary firm it is the thing that gets you a visit from the boss, because the first rule there is that you never step in front of something moving.

It ends on a golf analogy everyone will recognise. 📊 tastylive: tastylive.com 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 0:00 The rule stated up front 0:34 How they build a playbook 1:07 Playing both sides of it 1:56 The ratio he always checks 2:38 What short cycles opened up 3:18 M...
