Together, they’ll move from idea generation and research to strategy development and execution, showing how traders can combine specialized agents with their own judgment. Along the way, Abhishek will unpack how the agentic experience works on Robinhood and how traders can discover and put these new capabilities to work.

Imagine you're given $5,000 and one market opportunity. How do you deploy that capital if your goal is asymmetric upside?

Join professional options trader Kris Abdelmessih as he dissects a real market setup through the lens of an option buyer. Rather than asking, “Which strike should I buy?” Kris begins with a different question: “What am I paying for?”

Using live market examples, he’ll evaluate implied volatility, catalysts, time horizon, and risk/reward to determine when buying optionality makes sense—and when it doesn’t. Along the way, he’ll explore how traders think about convexity, expected value, and the tradeoffs between paying premium today for the possibility of outsized returns tomorrow.

This isn’t about predicting the market. It’s about understanding when an option is worth the price.

Markets generate an overwhelming amount of information every day—price moves, analyst research, news, sentiment, and more. The challenge for traders isn’t finding more data. It’s figuring out what matters.

Phil Rosen moderates a conversation with TipRanks CEO Uri Gruenbaum, Robinhood VP of Product Management Abhishek Fatehpuria, and chess champion Hikaru Nakamura on how technology, AI, and disciplined decision-making can help cut through the noise.

From the chessboard to the markets, this session is about finding the signal, building a process, and making more informed decisions when the next move isn’t obvious.

Power up for day two. Head to the North and South Cafes for lunch before afternoon sessions resume.

Sponsored by Nasdaq

Retail investors have more access to markets than ever, but the next frontier is context: understanding what different market participants are doing, how signals are evolving, and how insights can support better trading workflows.

Devin McCarthy of Nasdaq, Daniella Coricelli of Robinhood, and Kevin Avery of the Chat With Traders podcast will discuss how retail market data usage has evolved from simple price quotes and charts to sophisticated flow and sentiment analysis with AI-powered discovery. The conversation will explore how trusted market data can become more intuitive and actionable for active traders.

Tom Sosnoff is a pioneer of modern retail options trading. An entrepreneur, trader, and co-founder of thinkorswim© and tastytrade©, he has helped shape how individual investors trade and engage with the markets.

In this year’s Lessons from a Legend, Tom breaks down the core principles behind his decades-long career. From building iconic trading platforms to championing a probability-driven approach to trading options, he’ll share the strategies, mindset, and risk frameworks that define his edge.

He’ll also offer his latest thinking on the rise of AI in trading—what it changes, what it doesn’t, and why probabilities, liquidity, and disciplined execution still matter in an increasingly automated world.

Expect sharp insights, real stories, and a practical look at trading through the lens of probabilities—not predictions.

The session will be followed by a moderated conversation and audience Q&A with Tom and Cboe’s Senior Vice President JJ Kinahan.

The AI investment story is getting bigger. What began as a race to build better models and more powerful chips is expanding into a much broader ecosystem—touching software, semiconductors, data centers, electricity, and the companies figuring out how to put AI to work.

In this conversation, BlackRock explores how investors can think beyond the biggest technology names and across the broader AI value chain. Using iShares ETFs as examples, the discussion will break down different parts of the opportunity—from companies developing and deploying AI, to the semiconductors providing the compute, to the power infrastructure needed to support it all.

Along the way, we’ll explore how these pieces fit together, where potential bottlenecks could emerge, and how ETFs can provide different ways to gain exposure as the AI economy evolves.

The big question: If AI is becoming much bigger than just technology, how should investors think about investing across the entire ecosystem?

For every option buyer, there’s a seller on the other side. But what makes selling that option worth the risk—and how should you think about deploying capital when your goal is to collect premium?

OCC’s Mat Cashman moderates a conversation with legendary options trader Tom Sosnoff as they dissect real market setups through the lens of an option seller. Rather than simply asking, “Which option should I sell?” Tom focuses on what matters most: “Am I getting paid enough for the risk—and what’s my probability of success?”

Using live market examples, Mat and Tom will evaluate implied volatility, duration, probability, and risk/reward to determine when selling options may make sense—and when it may not. Along the way, they’ll explore how traders think about premium, time decay, volatility, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting risk today in exchange for collecting premium.

This isn’t about predicting the market. It’s about understanding risk, reward, and probability.
