So far, the VIX is behaving just as I expected, but I want to use last year's action as my guide to see if the market will continue to "behave"

  • @thfiv I normally don't use 40, I use 20. I was showing how the short term realized volatility was low but when we take the holiday effect out it was about 5 points higher.

    A 20-day hisotircal volatility is the proper comparison for a 30-day implied volatility, because the HV uses trading days and IV uses calendar days-- so they are both on the correct timeframe.

    I'll go ahead and plug my book "Timing Volatility" which explains this-- you can get it on Amazon.com

  • VIX is calculated on calendar days. Why are you using 40 for 2 months?
