TheoTrade Daily: Trading In the Volatility Box

Friday, February 21, 2025 This $7 Strategy Just Delivered 500% in Gains No fancy black boxes, no complications - one trade delivered one-day profits of 500% on SPX today… and that's not counting the two double-digit winners that came before it. These expertly curated trades are only available here… Welcome Back to the Volatility Box By Don Kaufman What a day… We had about $2.7 trillion worth of monthly options expire today - they're off the books.   For all that, we're back in the box. We're down around 1.7% on the S&P 500, which isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things… because we're still in the box.   We got to close out a 500% winner on an SPX butterfly, but still - the box.    There's a lot of gamma risk out there in the marketplace, but other than that things didn't really start getting interesting until today's big sell-side activity, where we cracked below the lower edge of the SPX's expected move.     Let's get into what this all means and to look at the levels that count right now… The Market's No. 1 Trading Guide, Free This is the perfect time to make sure you're up to speed on your trading know-how.
