This figure represents the raw standard deviation of the implied volatilities. To
|
||||
convert it into a useful number for comparisons, one must divide it by the average
|
||||
implied volatility.
|
||||
P d . . Implied deviation ercent eV1at10n = A . 1. d verage imp ie
|
||||
= 6.98/30.44
|
||||
= 23%
|
||||
This "percent deviation" number is usually significant if it is larger than 15%.
|
||||
That is, if the various options have implied volatilities that are different enough from
|
||||
each other to produce a result of 15% or greater in the above calculation, then the
|
||||
strategist should take a look at establishing neutral spreads in that security or futures
|
||||
contract.
|
||||
The concept presented here can be refined further by using a weighted average
|
||||
of the implieds ( taking into consideration such factors as volume and distance from the
|
||||
striking price) rather than just using the raw average. That task is left to the reader.
