in the strike price is higher for the downside options than it is for the upside
|
||||
ones. The difference between the IV of the 31 strike is 2 full points higher
|
||||
than the 32 strike, which is 1.8 points higher than the 33 strike. But the 36
|
||||
strike’s IV is only 1.1 points higher than the 37 strike, which is also just 1.1
|
||||
points higher than the 38 strike.
|
||||
This incremental difference in the IV per strike is often referred to as the
|
||||
slope. The puts of most underlyings tend to have a greater slope to their
|
||||
skew than the calls. Many models allow values to be entered for the upside
|
||||
slope and the downside slope that mathematically increase or decrease IVs
|
||||
of each strike incrementally. Some traders believe the slope should be a
|
||||
straight line, while others believe it should be an exponentially sloped line.
|
||||
If the IVs were graphed, the shape of the skew would vary among asset
|
||||
classes. This is sometimes referred to as the volatility smile or sneer,
|
||||
depending on the shape of the IV skew. Although Exhibit 3.5 is a typical
|
||||
paradigm for the slope for stock options, bond options and other commodity
|
||||
options would have differently shaped skews. For example, grain options
|
||||
commonly have calls with higher IVs than the put IVs.
|
||||
Volatility skew is dependent on supply and demand. Greater demand for
|
||||
downside protection may cause the overall IV to rise, but it can cause the
|
||||
IV of puts to rise more relative to the calls or vice versa. There are many
|
||||
traders who make their living trading volatility skew.
