Perhaps because this is extremely dense quantitative finance. This is the other side of your retail trades and the reason why you will eventually stop rolling heads and hand over your capital. Don’t fight against the pros, invest in them instead.
What position is long skew? selling skew? but long vol at the same time? Some sort of ratio or calendar? Is the idea with the dispersion trade to be long stock name into earning or just hoping for some sort of vol spike while shorting the index vol? And would this have been good to do in the 2017-2018 market with low vol? what is riding up the curve? I get backwardation. Is it selling short-term and buying long? and riding the wave down? 1256 contracts I assume this is US only. How can I learn more about flow? And I assume it is but how is it different to volumn?
Examples of "long skew" positions in SPX would be naked long puts, or risk-reversals where you're long puts and short calls. This is because, for SPX, the IVs of the puts tend to trade at a premium to those of the calls. For other products, the reverse might be true.

Cem keeps saying "You know", but do I really know? 🤔
simply brilliant from both sides.
Cem is obviously very intelligent, but it's difficult for the retail investor/trader to parse anything actionable here.
Exactly my thoughts
