Frank's back on the scene after a week off owing to the recent holiday, and he's sporting a new haircut! It looks...all right. Anyway, the kid is here to talk patience and trading as the market has started to really pick up steam relative to its daily movement. After supplying a collage of headlines, Frank highlights the recent trade against some historical context for trading ranges to show how much stocks have been moving. Finally, Frank closes out his show on patience with some trading opportunities that he thinks are worthwhile in this fertile options market.

They say that timing is everything; and though that may usually refer to lofty ideals such as love, it absolutely has its place in options trading. Today’s piece of research on [Market Measures](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/shows/market-measures) concerns [short strangles](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/strangle) with varying [strike selection](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/strike-price) and how long it takes them to profit on average. Tom and Tony go deep on the following study parameters: * Sold [30, 16, and 5 delta](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/option-delta) strangles * [Managed all trades for 50%](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/managing-winners) of credit received when possible * Compared results to [IV Rank above 50%](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/measuring-implied-volatility) * S&P 500 ETF (SPY) * 2005 to present ###The Results The tastytrade Research Team found that selling more aggressive strangles, like the 30 delta, yielded larger profits on average yet took longer to reach 50% in profits. While the less aggressive 5 delta strangles were managed more quickly for very marginal gains on average. The 16 delta, or the tastytrade go-to strategy, posed a nice middle ground between timing and profits. Check out the segment above for greater detail and context concerning short strangle strategies and the time it takes them to show decent profits.

In today's Resize and Analyze, we have three trades from Tom in the past week, but four resized trades from Kai: * Jade Lizard in SMH, a bullish position after the market drawdown in semiconductor sector. Kai converted this to two different new positions. Which one does Tom like better? * NOB spread trade, resized into a cross-product Strangle by using IEF and TLT. * Another futures’ pairs trade /GC and /SI, resized into an interesting strategy with SLV stock and GLD options. How do we make the ratio right?
