OM DENNE EPISODE
The double calendar saga continues!
On this episode of Options Boot Camp, Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli head back into the trenches for another deep dive into double calendar spreads—this time focusing on one of the biggest questions from listeners: How do you actually manage these trades once they're on?
Dan breaks down his approach to double calendar management, including what happens when the underlying tests a strike, why modeled break-even points matter, when he takes profits, and when it's time to cut bait. The discussion also explores using double calendars in SPX versus individual equities and whether this strategy could provide an interesting alternative way to capture weekend market moves.
Then it's time for listener questions covering:
- When low volatility makes outright calls or puts more attractive than debit spreads
- How Dan selects strikes when trading the wheel
- The role of technical levels and premium when selling options
- What happens when you correctly predict a stock's direction but still lose money to an implied volatility collapse
- Why volatility analysis matters before entering an options trade
It's Double Calendars Part 2. The stakes are higher. The calendars are doubled. And this time...it's Electric Boogaloo!
