Short-Straddle Example
|
||||
For this example, a trader, John, has been watching Federal XYZ Corp.
|
||||
(XYZ) for a year. During the 12 months that John has followed XYZ, its
|
||||
front-month implied volatility has typically traded at around 20 percent, and
|
||||
its realized volatility has fluctuated between 15 and 20 percent. The past 30
|
||||
days, however, have been a bit more volatile. Exhibit 15.6 shows XYZ’s
|
||||
recent volatility.

|
||||
The stock volatility has begun to ease, trading now at a 22 volatility
|
||||
compared with the 30-day high of 26, but still not down to the usual 15-to-
|
||||
20 range. The stock, in this scenario, has traded in a channel. It currently
|
||||
lies in the lower half of its recent range. Although the current front-month
|
||||
implied volatility is in the lower half of its 30-day range, it’s historically
|
||||
high compared with the 20 percent level that John has been used to seeing,
|
||||
and it’s still four points above the realized volatility. John believes that the
|
||||
conditions that led to the recent surge in volatility are no longer present. His
|
||||
forecast is for the stock volatility to continue to ease and for implied
|
||||
volatility to continue its downtrend as well and revert to its long-term mean
|
||||
over the next week or two. John sells 10 September 105 straddles at 5.40.
