Expected move can either be calculated by using the expected move formula, or by looking at the strikes of the 16 [delta](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/delta) call and 16 delta put. By using the formula, we get a symmetric expected move, but by using the [strikes](https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/learn/strike-price), we get a skewed expected move. When comparing the two, we see that the stock price stays in the expected range calculated using the *formula* more often than by using strikes. Both equations overstate the expected move, but using the strikes is more accurate. For more details on this metric and how we use it when setting up our strategies, tune in to the segment.

Pairs trading can give us more opportunity to put trades on. In an IRA, this can be difficult given the constraints. In this segment, we consider different ways to get long SPY and short DIA. One option is to get long stock in SPY and synthetically short DIA. The short stock can be done by selling an ATM DIA call, buying an ATM DIA put, and buying a far OTM DIA Call. Another option is to sell a put in SPY, selling a call in DIA, and then buy 5 cents wings on both options. The last option is to sell a put spread in SPY and a call Spread in DIA. All of these trades give different risk, POP, and payoff. Watch this segment of "Strategies In Your IRA" as Tom and Tony weigh the pros and cons of each of these pairs trading strategies.

Along the way, what is the main objective? It took him three tries, but without looking at the slides, Anthony AMPS it up and nails it - Learning! Oh, and we learn that Anthony is a true outlier, as he gives us a brand new to look at building a puzzle.

Mike flies solo today to talk about a few positions in his portfolio. He explains his recent adjustment in his SPY poor man's covered call, and converts a deep ITM short put in XOP to a strangle to increase his theta decay. He also talks about going un-inverted after inverting a strangle, and how the trades are exactly the same.
