announcements, or the release of other news particular to an individual
|
||||
stock can cause anxiety, or fear, in traders and consequently increase
|
||||
demand for options that causes IV to rise. IV can fall when there is
|
||||
complacency in the market or when the anticipated news has been
|
||||
announced and anxiety wanes. “Buy the rumor, sell the news” is often
|
||||
reflected in option implied volatility. When there is little fear of market
|
||||
movement, traders use options to squeeze out more profits—greed.
|
||||
Arbitrageurs, such as market makers who trade delta neutral—a strategy
|
||||
that will be discussed further in Chapters 12 and 13—must be relentlessly
|
||||
conscious of implied volatility. When immediate directional risk is
|
||||
eliminated from a position, IV becomes the traded commodity. Arbitrageurs
|
||||
who focus their efforts on trading volatility (colloquially called vol traders )
|
||||
tend to think about bids and offers in terms of IV. In the mind of a vol
|
||||
trader, option prices are translated into volatility levels. A trader may look at
|
||||
a particular option and say it is 30 bid at 31 offer. These values do not
|
||||
represent the prices of the options but rather the corresponding implied
|
||||
volatilities. The meaning behind the trader’s remark is that the market is
|
||||
willing to buy implied volatility at 30 percent and sell it at 31 percent. The
|
||||
actual prices of the options themselves are much less relevant to this type of
|
||||
trader.
