aflevering Gamma Moves, Oil Shock, and Fed Pressure (EP. 24) artwork

Gamma Moves, Oil Shock, and Fed Pressure (EP. 24)

Joe and Smiddy break down the mechanics behind a recent market rally that had little to do with headlines—and everything to do with dealer positioning. From the JPM collar roll to zero DTE gamma dynamics, they walk through how a single catalyst turned into a much larger move once key levels were breached. They then zoom out to the bigger picture, discussing rising oil prices, geopolitical tension with Iran, and what it all means for volatility. The conversation also dives into the Fed’s position, the limits of policy, and why the macro backdrop may be more fragile than it appears.

Pinned Index, Extreme Skew, and March OpEx (EP. 23)

Joe and Smiddy return after a brief break to break down the strange market environment traders have been navigating. While the major indices have gone nowhere for months, individual stocks have been moving aggressively beneath the surface, creating one of the highest dispersion environments since the financial crisis. They discuss how dealer gamma positioning, Vanna effects, and the upcoming March OPEX are helping keep the market pinned despite rising volatility and chaotic headlines. The conversation also dives into skew reaching extreme levels, why some strategists see a potential bullish risk reversal setting up, and how traders are navigating expensive hedges in a market filled with geopolitical uncertainty. Finally, they explore the macro forces in the background — from oil shocks tied to Iran tensions to the global safe haven scramble across Treasuries, gold, and even Bitcoin — and what it could mean for volatility and market structure in the weeks ahead.   DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Silver Squeeze and the $50M Condor Blow Up (EP. 21)

Silver ripped to all-time highs—but the story beneath is way bigger. In this episode, Joe and Smiddy break down the global physical vs. paper silver disconnect, exploding retail demand, and the rumors of a bank margin call that lit up X. Then they dig into the spectacular collapse of the Captain Condor strategy: – The $50M blow-up over Christmas – How 100K+ contracts got torched in a week – The danger of martingaling 0DTE trades – And why ignoring gamma is a fatal mistake   DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not indicative of future results.

aflevering Origin Story: Joe "Poko" Pokrzywa (EP. 20) artwork

Origin Story: Joe "Poko" Pokrzywa (EP. 20)

In this special "origin story" episode of the Market Misfits Podcast, host Joe Pokrzywa takes the hot seat and becomes the guest, handing the mic over to Steamroom Trading Managing Partner Charlie Bathgate. Joe shares the raw, unfiltered journey of how he went from a trading novice to a respected voice in the trading community—through career detours, humbling losses, personal rock bottom, and the obsessive deep dive that unlocked his edge. Joe opens up about his early days selling payroll, crashing headfirst into options trading, and navigating the high-stress worlds of structured finance and esports—where he worked with legends like Hector Rodriguez and Andy Miller. He details the moment everything fell apart: a broken engagement, job loss, and moving back home with nothing left to lose. It was at that lowest point that Joe doubled down on the markets, immersing himself completely in options theory, gamma, dealer positioning, and zero-DTE dynamics. Through discipline, study, and relentless curiosity, he transformed from a lurker in the Steam Room to a trusted resource for top traders—developing a unique approach that now helps others decode market movement. This is a story of resilience, obsession, and finding your niche when everything else falls away. Whether you're a trader or just love a comeback story, Joe’s journey proves that sometimes the deepest insights come from the hardest lessons.   DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not indicative of future results.
