Basic Training: Trading Diagonals
- What is a diagonal?
- Why would you put it on?
- What adjustments need to be made?
- How is it performed?
- How does it differ from a typical horizontal calendar spread?
- Why would you use a calendar vs. a horizontal spread?
- How do the greeks differ?
- How do you choose the strikes?
Mail Call: Fall in, recruits!
- Question from Richard D: I think a whole boot camp show on skew could be very helpful! Thanks!
- Question from Hawkeye6: Love the pair of calendar spread shows. Can you make it a hat trick and have a show on double diagonals and double calendars? I am especially interested in hearing about selection criteria -- what makes a good candidate, criteria for strike selection, when to pick DD/DC vs. Condor/Iron Condor, etc.
