Chart Scan with Commentary: Volatility

Hey Joe! Implied Volatility(IV) still makes me confused. 

There is an example, AMD April 18 contract, 15 put option. The value of Implied Volatility(IV) is 60.55%.

I would like to know what 60.55% really is, whose 60.55%, how to compute IV? 

Joe Ross shares trading success with Traders Trick Entry and Ross Hook trading methods example trading education

Implied Volatility is what you get when you run historical volatility through an option model, applying the parameters of time to expiration; interest rates; dividends; and distance from actual price to the strike price.

If you learn how to make an option model, or study one of the existing models, you will understand what IV is.

Historical volatility is also a bit complicated. Normally, it is the distance between the high and the low of the time period being used.  But then, how do you account for gaps? Is volatility the distance from yesterday’s low to today’s high?  Is it from yesterday’s close to today’s open? Is it some other combination of high, low, open, close?

There is no agreement on this, but an average of historical volatility is what is input to an option model, spun around with the other factors I named above, in order to come up with Implied Volatility.

Please realize that HV and IV are not rocket science. Your guess is as good as anyone’s.

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Trading Method example trading education

The Russell 2000 is simply too easy to trade right now!

The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Russell 2000 Mini Future (RTY/M2K) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders keep on cashing in big time again over the last couple of months!

Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.

The Russell 2000 a very popular market out there among traders. It has two of the most important things private traders are looking for liquidity and volatility. I won’t even include a daily chart here as it does look quite boring. To keep it brief, the Russell is trading in a wide range for a long time now. Perfect conditions for Ambush and so this has paid out big time, here are all the recent trades:

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Trading Method example trading education

Yes, that’s over $6000 within just three month and not even 20 trades! Which means Ambush traders made over $300 on average per trade doing nothing more than placing one entry order per day. I guess most active day traders made a lot less…but their brokers rich!

Now those are huge amounts if you have a small account and you might not want to make or lose hundreds or dollars per trade. Thanks to the new Micro Russell 2000 Mini Contracts (M2K) this is not an issue anymore. You can trade these with a small account now. Here are the results trading one M2K contract:

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Trading Method example trading education

If that is not enough bang for the buck simply size it up and trade two contracts or three. It’s so great now you can position size as you like exactly matching your risk preferences!

In either case you have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades!

So whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.

Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?
