A Guide on Strategies for Volatility Trading: A Conceptual Overview | Chapter 3 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 6

 

The topic of volatility trading for investors looking for excess profits by shorting derivatives during stable times is covered in this document. The concept of historical and implied volatility is first introduced. The CBOE VIX index, which is based on the S&P 500 and is the premier benchmark index for gauging market expectations of future volatility, is the subject of our second discussion. Because it tends to increase in unfavourable stock market settings and decrease or remain stable in positive ones, the CBOE VIX is often known as the "fear gauge index." We next go through the most often used options, variance swap, and futures trading methods. The conceptual discussion is supplemented by empirical research.
