In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live A suspicious calm has overtaken the stock market. Bond volatility (MOVE) is sitting near multi-year lows. At the same time, global capital flows continue to shift. Countries from China to Brazil are leading an exodus out of U.S. Treasuries. And currency pressure is only building. While the broader stock market is experiencing its own shockwaves – led by a recent tech sell-off and supply chain shocks that are affecting every sector you can imagine – the alarm bells aren’t going off just yet. But don’t be fooled – volatility is bubbling back up to the surface in a big way. And when volatility breaks above the surface of all that calm, smart traders don’t just rely on stocks alone to keep their capital in the game. That’s why, here at Masters in Trading, we live by one Golden Rule… Options (not stocks alone) are the most essential tool for navigating a volatile market. Our volatility playbook is all about using defined-risk strategies rather than executing unlimited-risk trades with the potential to go completely bust. And that’s right where our most important Greek comes into play – delta We can think of delta as "our piece of the stock." It’s a key part of options trading that many retail traders tend to get wrong – either putting too much exposure out there or not enough. When we’re firmly in control of how our delta is working in a trade, we gain true piece of mind. It gives us the ability to turn a loser around – and get the most upside out of a potential winner. Say we’re worried about gaining too much exposure on a volatile stock that might break in either direction. We can use lower-delta options to essentially choose our exposure with less capital and less risk — the core edge of options over equity positions. That’s exactly what we did with our most recent trade in SunRun (RUN). Instead of deploying large capital into stock, we used a properly structured option position. A .50 delta contract delivered the same $10,000 profit on roughly $2,000 deployed — compared to needing $20,000 in stock for a similar move. Lower-delta options are just part of our playbook. We also have the ability to roll, hedge, spread, or adjust in any direction when a trade goes against us. These strategies for managing delta give us more capital efficiency – with the same profit and a fraction of the risk. And that’s absolutely essential right now. Because it’s better to be prepared for any outcome rather than let fear shake you out of a trade. After all, we’re here to risk $1 and make $5 in return. In today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11AM EST, I’m breaking down our approach to managing risk using lower-delta trades and the other essential strategies I highlighted. Today’s session will give you the tools to meet volatility head-on – and the specific trade setups that will thrive whenever volatility hits. P.S.
