Market Measures - September 13, 2022 - How "Average" Has IV Been?

With respect to long term distributions and statistics, 2022 did not change general expectations about volatility by much: IV still carries upside velocity of risk and clusters below its average the majority of the time. However, adding half of 2021 and 2022 into account (just 5% of the total number of occurrences in the study), the distribution became less skewed and more normal because IV in 2022 was high but not an outlier.

Notice that the common denominator across these three examples is they all require some level of experience to understand and appreciate.

The Skinny on Options: Abstract Applications - September 12, 2022 - Heston Modeling And Volatility
