$SVIX. $VXX. $UVIX. $UVXY.
Amazingly profitable yet dangerous.

Here's a thread on how to navigate these successfully using three different strategies.

We get a lot of questions about our services, so today we're going to take you on a virtual tour of our entire Stocks+ platform!

Key statement from $NVDA's last quarter earnings:

"Companies will use AI in data centers to transition from general purpose computing to accelerated computing, as companies race to apply generative AI into every product, service and business process" From today's release:
"major cloud service providers announced massive NVIDIA H100 AI infrastructures. Leading enterprise IT system and software providers announced partnerships to bring NVIDIA AI to every industry. The race is on to adopt generative AI"

Contango remains strong.

$SVIX nearly doubled since mid-March. 👍

Here's the summary:

ChatGPT can already be used to perform various tasks related to finance and stocks & options trading, including:

1) get stock and options data for summarizing data:

Clear as day that $ARKK continues to be out of favor since early Nov based on gamma and skew.

Top holdings no longer carrying the negative gamma that was driving prices higher in 2020 & early 2021.

stocks.tradingvolatility.net/gexCharts?tick… A lot of DIY traders/investors rely on charts, volume, & TA.

This can work well for awhile under the right conditions, but they fail when options flows change without them noticing and then lose a bunch of money.

Too many people are using strategies that will inevitably fail.

Gamma action cheat sheet:
1) Investor sells calls
a) At trade Opening:
- MM is long calls --> long delta, long gamma. Shorts stock to be delta neutral.

b) Re-hedging:
- MM sells underlying as price rises. Buys underlying as price falls

1/n c) At expiry:
A) calls at strikes above underlying expire worthless and deltas drop to 0. MM buys stock to flatten.

or

B) calls at strikes below underlying expire ITM and deltas go to 1. MM sells stock to stay neutral.

2/n

At some point, people are going to write books about how useful gamma structure is in trading.

$NVDA in constructive and destructive stages as shown at three different times
6-21-21
7-15-21
8-5-21

stocks.tradingvolatility.net/gexCharts?tick… It's not that useful to just look at a headline Naive GEX or adjusted GEX number. The gamma structure is much more important as defines how gamma changes as underlying price moves.

The market is in a lull where there is ~zero constructive gamma on stocks to help push them higher. In fact, most names are pretty heavy on puts.

Look for building of negative Skew-Adjusted Gamma Exposure and Gamma Call Ladders. Until then sit on some cash and enjoy Summer. Every meme stock builds to exploding higher by establishing negative Skew-Adjusted GEX and a gamma call ladder.

Once the gamma structure changes and call ladder dissipates the move has generally run its course.

A thread on why we flagged $AMC on May 25:

There are two items to look at from the screenshot in the original posting:

1) large negative Skew-Adjusted Gamma Exposure relative to avg daily trade volume

2) the gamma call ladder

https://twitter.com/TradeVolatility/status/1397195815928705027

SA-GEX/avg trade volume is large at -0.716.
that # is the ratio of GEX (given in shares) needed for market makers to re-hedge their positions div by the daily average trade volume (in shares). At -0.71 most of the shares traded daily are needed just to re-hedge MM positions.

$GME gamma may flip today as stock price moves higher (+52% today).
