  • Question from CNans - Gamma vs. Vega scalping - You have discussed gamma scalping on early episodes, as a way to pay for long volatility positions. Is it not also possible to scalp vega by legging into spreads intraday? Or is scalping a particular activity linked to gamma trading? Would it be possible to do a show entirely devoted to listener questions? That is my favorite part of the program because I always learn so much from your answers.
