Mike Butler Shows the Volatility Levels Where He Sells vs Buys Premium

In this Options in Action, Mike Butler turns implied volatility from a fuzzy concept into a set of levels you can act on. He shows the platform's new feature for charting IV right under the price, why premium sellers want products with big volatility swings rather than a quiet name like SPY, and how the same chart lets you eyeball where volatility could crush back to after an earnings event. 📊 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 Today's topic, implied volatility 00:52 Charting IV on the platform 01:37 Why sellers want big swings 02:08 SPY is notoriously quiet 03:10 Tesla and the high vol names 03:59 A 40 point range to trade 04:34 The earnings window trap 06:22 Where he buys premium instead 07:25 Where he sells premium 08:35 Estimating the earnings crush 09:30 Keeping the risk small #tastylive #optionsinaction #impliedvolatility #ivrank #sellingpremium #buyingpremium #earnings #optionsstrategy #optionstrading #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
