I've started listening to all of the tastytrade videos on YouTube after plowing through the option alpha podcasts. I will revisit the OA stuff because there is so much there, but I'm enjoying the tasty content.

Great to hear. Yes, OA is very good and very useful, but Sosnoff and Battista take it to another level. I tend to watch the Tasty videos every day for knowledge, and also for motivation. I probably owe Sosnoff a cut of profits after seeing the Tasty study on how often the S&P makes 2 and 3 standard deviation daily moves - 3 Std. Dev. is less than 1% of the time (pretty much has to be a black swan event). So I modified my SPX IC and syn. strangle trades based on that. I’m still doing the 1-2DTE trades… the 0DTEs not as much. Monitoring those things and still working was taking a toll on me.

Despite some of my previous strategies hurting profits, I'm still up nicely YTD which is encouraging considering the follies.
