Understanding Option Volatility Through Our Indexes

Welcome to Nations Indexes. I’m Scott Nations. This course will help you understand the single most important concept in option trading – volatility – and then we’ll learn about our specific indexes and how they can help you harness that volatility to become a better option trader and to make more money.

In lesson one, we will learn about the two important types of volatility, realized volatility and implied volatility.

In lesson two, we’ll learn about VolDex, our flagship measure of implied volatility, and why it’s a better measure than VIX.

In lesson three, four, and five, we’ll learn about standard deviation and how that concept led us to create CallDex and PutDex.

In lesson six, we’ll learn about another important element in the option world. And one that is my secret weapon  skew and our measure of skew RiskDex.

Finally, in lesson seven, we will learn about the  likelihood of extreme events, often called tail events and how they’re more common than the math of finance would suggest, and we’ll talk about how TailDex can give you insight into the market’s perception of the likelihood of such an event.

Well, there you have it. If you’ll stay with us until the end of the course, you’ll know more about option trading and much more than most option traders do. You’ll learn about things that will make you a better trader and to help you make more money.
