In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live We’ve covered a lot this week. On Monday, we learned how to trade movement rather than direction using strangles and straddles. On Tuesday, we saw how the market tips its hand through skew. And yesterday, we learned how expected move creates invisible walls on every chart we can follow for profitable trade setups. Today is all about understanding how to stay long on a stock with conviction – and still get paid while the market moves. It all comes down to one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — strategies in options trading: Gamma scalping. The reality is time works against us on every single trade we make. Every day, your position is bleeding. Gamma scalping is the strategy that offsets this bleed by making small, profitable adjustments as the stock moves. Just consider this… Let’s say you own calls. Stock’s at $55. You’re long the $50 strike. You’ve got $500 in the trade. Now, the stock pushes higher to $57. What do most traders do? Nothing. But we can sell shares against the position. Now, imagine the stock pulls back to $55. What do we do here? We can buy them back at a profit. You repeat this over and over — sell into rallies, buy back on dips. Each small gain compounds and offsets the daily time decay eating your options premium. You’re not sitting there hoping. You’re actively managing risk and turning volatility into an advantage. And in markets like this — where things move fast and unpredictably – that’s everything. In today’s episode of Masters in Trading at 11 AM EST, I’ll walk you through exactly how we use gamma scalping to help manage risk and lock in gains over the life of a trade.
