Russell Rhoads is one of America’s leading experts on VIX, the Volatility Index.
In The VIX Trader’s Handbook he takes a deep dive into all things associated with volatility indexes and related trading vehicles.
The handbook begins with an explanation of what VIX is, how it is calculated, and why it behaves the way it does in various market environments. It also explains the various methods of getting exposure to volatility through listed markets.
The focus then moves on to demonstrate how traders take advantage of various scenarios using futures, options, or ETPs linked to the performance of VIX.
Finally, a comprehensive review is presented of volatility events that shook the markets, including the 1987 crash, Great Financial Crisis, 2010 flash crash, and the 2020 pandemic. By understanding how VIX behaved leading up to these market shocks, and reacted afterwards, traders can better equip themselves ahead of future events.
A wide variety of strategies that are implemented in both bearish and bullish equity markets are introduced and covered extensively throughout.
The VIX Trader’s Handbook is essential reading for all those who are intending to trade volatility—from those who wish to gain an understanding of how VIX and the related trading products behave, to those intending to hedge equity exposure or take advantage of the persistent overpricing of option volatility.
You won’t want to trade volatility without it.
