Question from Jarryd Smith - I have a question for the podcast that, as a long-suffering Bills fan, I hope a long-suffering Bill can answer. I wouldn't turn down the greasy meatball, though. What is meant by 'the tent'? For example, stop the trade when it exits 'the tent'. Let's use an ATM Butterfly. Is it the ending 'tent', when at the end of the trade it would a max-loss? Or the end of the trade that would still be a profit? Or something else? For example, if I had a 100/150/200 ATM Butterfly on for $25, would I exit if it hit 100 or 200? Or 125/175? Or something else? Thanks!

Comment from David Lincoln - $NVDA and although it is not a tech stock I am still on that $TLRY kick....
Comment from FContangotrader - Check out $AAPL OI 215 and 210 put strikes

Comment from J3dingle - I'm going to leave a bad review for your pronunciation (Vale)!

Question from AllOrNothingRookieJan - $FB bought 2700 shares yesterday before ER......do I hold or lock in some profit guys?????...I’m thinking of moving it all over to amazon and seeing if I’m still lucky….I wish I could do Options but I don’t know enough and heard I can lose all my money?

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from Desinc81 - Are you buying that the FED is done for 2019 and maybe beyond?

Question from C Sanders - What do the options traders think about this development? Re: article - Palladium is worth more than gold for the first time in over a decade.

Question from Uncert1n - I’ve always heard the saying that when things get crazy correlation goes to 1. I know that holds for individual stocks and indices but does it also apply to commodities and other assets?

Question from Andrew Testa - Love the TWIFO and wouldn’t mind more Ag reports. Trying to learn that marketplace for myself. I’m still in the phase of trying to figure out the difference between El Nino and La Nina and which is good for Ags. Thanks for all your great shows. Enjoying the new Crypto Rundown.
