===== Summary =====
1️⃣ What does Implied Volatility mean in options trading?
In options trading, Implied Volatility (IV) is a crucial metric that reflects the market's expectations for future volatility of the underlying asset. It is directly related to the pricing of an option contract and serves as an indicator of how much the market believes the asset's price will fluctuate over a given period. A higher IV typically means higher option premiums, as traders are willing to pay more for the potential of larger price swings.
2️⃣ How does realized stock volatility impact option prices and IV?
Realized stock volatility, or the actual historical volatility of a stock, plays a significant role in driving option prices/IV. When a stock shows high realized volatility, option premiums often increase to compensate for the greater stock price movements, which in turn pushes up IV. Conversely, lower realized volatility usually leads to cheaper option premiums and lower IV. By keeping an eye on realized volatility, options traders can better anticipate shifts in IV and adjust their strategies accordingly.
