The strategies here aren't new or exotic. They're the ones that hold up across decades, different market regimes, and asset classes from equities to futures options. The real edge isn't the strategy itself. It's the discipline to trade it correctly, size it right, and keep positions non-correlated — which is exactly what this video gets into.
