When volatility’s this high, do you prefer to play it safe with spreads or go directional with long options? I’ve been leaning on iron condors lately, but it’s still nerve-wracking watching the ranges get crushed in a single candle. Curious what setups are working for you all right now.

I’ve shifted to credit spreads with wider wings and tighter risk controls—less premium, but better sleep. The key for me has been timing entries during IV spikes and scaling in. I still use condors, but only when I see consolidation with low news risk.

How is the Change Management Analyst L2 work, role and responsibilities?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

We are in counter-trend longs this morning, trying to move up to 3032 HWB for the intermediate HWB short. There is a micro long here at the 3011 level.

Short Term - Bullish above 2997.50. Longer Term - Bearish Below 3034.50.
