Markets Are Steady, What Does That Mean For You?
By:Ryan Gaynor
For Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan, the origin of tastytrade owners began when they realized that traditional trading floors were becoming obsolete. They wanted to build something that would allow retail traders to be able to trade alongside professional traders.
In this video, they reflect on the evolution from their initial venture, praised for its revolutionary approach, to their latest project, tastytrade. The new venture caters to the contemporary trading habits and preferences of its users, emphasizing simplicity and usability. The tastytrade interface has a user-centric format that puts all essential trading functions on a single page.
Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista open this week's Market Measure with a detailed comparison of zero-day-to-expiration (DT) trades and traditional 45-day trades. They explore the performance, risk, and potential returns of both strategies with specific data on profitability at various stages. Sosnoff and Battista conclude that each strategy has its optimal timing for managing positions to maximize returns and advocate starting small to manage the different dynamics effectively.
In a dramatic discussion, Tom Sosnoff and Christopher Vecchio compare trading strategies and their relation to age and life events. Vecchio talks about how, due to his experience of the 2008 market crash, he trades differently than most of his naiver friends. Sosnoff gives his opinion on the subject by stating that after trading for so long, he has a much different strategy than someone like Vecchio, or any young person just getting into trading. Sosnoff talks about how, over time, your strategy evolves, and you become a different type of trader. You do not want to miss this discussion as it appeals to all types of traders.
