In this episode of Options Boot Camp, hosts Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli (from Market Taker Mentoring) discuss a variety of topics related to options trading. They begin by discussing the resurgence of trading floors, specifically a new one in Miami by MIAX, and the potential for more 24-hour trading sessions in options markets. The hosts also delve into recent developments from the Options Industry Conference, including NASDAQ’s pilot program for zero-day options on certain high-volume stocks. Also, they tap into current market dynamics, including a 25% rise in trading volumes driven by trade war uncertainties, and cover the administrative challenges of contra exercise orders, especially in light of potential new zero-day options. Listener questions about VIX versus VXX and opinions on the current market rally are also addressed.   01:04 Welcome to Options Bootcamp 01:34 Education Wednesday and Market Updates 02:42 Live Video Component and Studio Updates 03:55 Options Drills and Strategies 04:53 Insights from the Options Industry Conference 06:38 Discussion on Zero-Day Options Pilot Program 12:15 24-Hour Trading and Market Making 14:56 New Trading Floor in Miami 17:07 April Trading Volume Highlights 18:50 Market Volatility and Trading Strategies 19:25 Index Options and Equity Options Trends 20:30 Listener Mail Call 21:25 Market Taker Question of the Week 21:34 Understanding VIX and VXX 23:28 Listener Questions on VIX and Market Trends 29:18 Contra Exercise and Broker Practices 34:24 Remembering Alex 'The Viceroy' Jacobson 36:27 Closing Remarks and Upcoming Content
