Volatility trading is simply buying and selling the expected future volatility of the instrument. Rather than predicting whether the price of an asset will move up or down, volatility traders are concerned with how much movement, in any direction, will occur. The most common way to trade volatility is via options. The value of an option is affected by several factors, but an essential determinant of its value is the expected future volatility of the underlying instrument. Day Trading Long or Neutral or Short Volatility entails transacting in option strategies like strangle/straddle/credit spreads/debit spreads.
