Tony and Nicky discussed various trading opportunities and market movements. The session focused heavily on pairs trading strategies, particularly the Russell-S&P pair (long M2K futures, short MES futures) at a 3:2 ratio, which they executed live during the show.
The hosts also analyzed the significant gold-silver ratio movement, which saw a 4.5% shift as silver dropped 5% while gold declined less than 1%. They explained how CME margin requirements increase with volatility, noting this reflects risk management rather than discouraging retail traders.
When addressing zero-day trading in low VIX environments, they emphasized that while low volatility supports premium selling strategies, traders should adjust profit targets accordingly due to reduced premium collection opportunities.
