VOLATILITY

Trading Ideas
7
Volatility

• A statistical measure of price dispersion in a
  currency pair.
• In general, the higher the volatility, the higher
  the risk in the pair.

8
Volatility periods

• Periods of low volatility follow periods of high
  volatility
• Periods of high volatility follow periods of low
  volatility
• Again and again and again.. and then it starts
  all over.

Bollinger Band

• Because the standard deviation is a measure of
  volatility, Bollinger Bands adjust to market
  conditions.
• When markets become more volatile, the bands
  widen (move further from the mean), and during
  periods of lower volatility, the bands become
  narrower (move closer to the mean).
• When the bands are very close to each other, it
  can be a sign that volatility is about to rise
  substantially.

VOLATILITY AND VIX
20

• VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board
  Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index, which
  shows the market's expectation of 30-day
  volatility. It is constructed using the implied
  volatilities of a wide range of SP 500 index
  options. This volatility is meant to be
  forward-looking and is calculated from both calls
  and puts. The VIX is a widely used measure of
  market risk and is often referred to as the
  "investor fear gauge.

• VIX is the code of the Chicago Board Options
  Exchange Market Volatility Index.
