Mark Anderson's Buy-the-Dip Trade Was Up 23% the Year Stocks Fell 18%

Everyone talks about buying the dip, but Mark Anderson of MBH Capital built a mechanical way to actually trade it. His backtest targets the volatility crush: when the VIX opens down on good news and keeps falling, dealers unwind their short hedges and feed a self-reinforcing rally. The trigger is simple, and so is the trade, buy a cheap weekly call using just 2% of your account. The payoff is asymmetric, and in 2022, the year the market fell 18%, this trade was up 23%. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 A zero-DTE expert joins the show 00:40 The buy-the-dip pattern everyone sees 01:30 The mechanics of the vol crush 02:10 How dealers feed the rally 02:48 The exact trigger, VIX opens down 03:30 The trade, a cheap weekly call 04:15 Up 23% the year stocks fell 18% 05:00 Where the real profit lives 06:00 Stacking it on a put spread 07:00 Why sizing can ruin a great trade #tastylive #riskandreward #markanderson #buythedip #volcrush #vix #zerodte #backtest #optionstrading #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
