Course content

4 sections • 14 lectures • 1h 40m total length

Introduction3:51
Learn how stock and options combine to create a low-risk volatility surf trade for long-term returns, with rules, tools like Python, and VIX futures curve analysis for practical trading.
Why Volatility is interesting ? But ...6:57
Compare stock and VIX behavior to see volatility is more predictable. Use zone cues—zone 1–2 low, zone 3 above 20—to spot edge and manage volatile spikes.
Instruments to trade Volatility7:59
Understand how Vix and the S&P move inversely, their mean-reverting volatility dynamics, and how Vix futures and volatility ETNs mimic Vix movements, highlighting short volatility risks and diversification benefits.
Understanding VIX futures term structure and concepts9:52
Explain the VIX futures curve, highlighting contango in calm markets and backwardation during selloffs, and show why VIX futures ETFs suffer from negative roll yield, advising short positions.

Strategy Presentation9:42
Present a delta negative, short volatility strategy that profits from price decay and volatility. Combine shorting shares with buying short-term at-the-money calls to limit upside risk.
Strategy Rationale / Trade Management Guidelines17:11
Explore the volatility surf trade, comparing xy options and execs, under long volatility, contango drag, and implied volatility, with practical trade entry, rolling, and risk management guidelines.
The modified "Surf"6:02
Master the modified surf trade to profit from declines while hedging with negative delta. Learn to deploy a two-call setup to protect against volatility spikes and rising implied volatility.
Trade Examples15:59
Explore real volatility surf trade examples, adjust delta and short-call positions, roll expirations, and manage max loss to capture volatility peaks and subsequent decay.

Delta7:34
Delta measures exposure; a positive delta means being long shares and ranges from 0 to 1 for calls and -1 to 0 for puts, signaling price sensitivity and expiration probability.
Gamma6:10
Explain gamma as the rate of change of delta and illustrate how gamma steepens near expiry, increasing risk for short options and prompting exits two weeks before expiry.
Vega and Theta4:08
Describe theta decay and extrinsic value loss as maturity nears, with steeper decay for at-the-money options; explain vega as implied volatility sensitivity and that buying benefits from rising volatility.
