In this episode of Options Bootcamp, host Mark Longo and co-host Dan Passarelli (Market Taker Mentoring) dive into forgotten and lesser-known options terminologies. The duo explores terms such as horizontal and vertical spreads, legging into trades, volatility smiles, realized vs. implied volatility, and risk premium harvesting. They touch upon trading floor lingo, including the roles of 'locals,' the use of 'raise' in retail automated execution systems, and the concept of 'out trades.' As they discuss each term, they highlight their relevance and usage in today's trading landscape. Listeners are also engaged with polls, letting them voice their opinions on these old-school trading terms.   01:04 Welcome to Options Bootcamp 01:38 Education Wednesday: Volatility Death Match Recap 02:59 Introducing the Black Hatted One: Dan Passarelli 03:59 Options Drills: Forgotten Terminology 05:42 Exploring Horizontal Spreads 07:23 Legging into Trades: Risks and Strategies 11:02 Volatility Smile and Skew 13:31 Implied vs. Realized Volatility 17:16 Back Spreads and Front Spreads 20:56 Under and Over: Pricing Complex Trades 23:49 The Renaissance of the Local Trading Crowd 25:05 The Evolution of Trading Roles 25:40 The Trading Crowd and Market Makers 27:43 Out Trades and Manual Entry 29:03 The Antiquated Practices of Trading 32:28 The Concept of Paper in Trading 34:02 Cabinet Trades and Penny Pricing 37:50 The Rise of Electronic Trading 41:41 Listener Polls and Apocalypse Assets 44:44 Concluding Remarks and Upcoming Shows
