Furthermore (9:30), one can say that the "sell high IV, buy low IV" works in the long term if 1) we are correct in assuming that volatility is mean reverting, and 2) we diversify across contracts, underlying, and term to maturity to improve the reliability of performance. Also, what I would guess level 5 knowledge would be: it would probably also utilize Bennett's book and would approach options from the standpoint of a market maker. Firms like Citadel Securities are able to generate (close to) risk-free profits through a combination of bid-ask spreads (i.e., buying at the bid and selling at the ask for the same contract) or arbitrage on slightly mispriced contracts with the same underlying (e.g., if IV is relatively cheap, going long a put and short a call with the same strike and expiration and going long the underlying in a way that completely delta hedges against the options positions, the market maker can essentially no market risk but get a pick up on the underpriced IV). That said, this is much more math-intensive and is much more boring than "diamond hands to the moon" meme investing, but it really the way big institutions make money in the options market.

In a casino, even if you had an edge over the house, you would still most likely go bust in the long run unless you calculate the size of your bets properly. To make money in options, you have to both find an edge and run the risk management estimations. Unless you do both, it's really as good as a casino.

Really nice job, I love the emphasis on losing money and the meaninglessness of it all, this is essential options trader knowledge! Level 5 recognizes 2 key concepts, the first is that you can take a whole options position or portfolio and break it down and aggregate it in terms of its risks (delta, gamma, vega, and skew, and others), and that because of put/call parity puts are calls and calls are puts, just with offsetting underlying stock positions. So we manage and take views on those underlying risks. Delta is directionality, gamma is short term realized volatility, and vega is implied volatility. The second is that unlike a stock, options and portfolios of options and their hedges are what we call "path dependent" meaning that the path the underlying asset takes can determine our profit and loss not just where it ends up at expiry or the time we sell it if it were a stock, so we need to be constantly managing our risks in order to hope to make (lose less) money. And then finally key to level 5 you need to recognize that you can and will lose money and dont sell lottery tickets.

Assuming you have purchase an option that is ITM, Why would you hold until expiry other than to exercise it? Theta eats away at the options extrinsic value

[@landis1101]

⁠@@Killingfrenzy4161 this is why no serious person or professional buys ITM options. Any position that is ITM is better represented by a combo of the underlying stock and ATM options. If you buy an ITM option and just exercise it you are basically just setting money on fire.

[@landis1101]

@@Killingfrenzy4161 no serious person or professional buys ITM options, because you essentially are overpaying for your position. Any ITM options position can be better expressed as some of amount of the underlying stock and ATM options. The reason you buy an option in the first place is for the time value, which is reduced to 0 if you exercise early, which is why you dont do it and you hold to expiry or much more regularly, simply sell the options you are long (and are ITM) rather than exercising them, that way you get paid for the time value (extrinsic value).

Would love to see you do a video on risk arbitrage (AKA merger arbitrage). It's very exciting stuff and particularly relevant today with zaddy Elon and Twitter, Microsoft and Activision, Avast and Norton, etc., all current deals. A good resource is "Warren Buffet and the Art of Risk Arbitrage", written by Mary Buffet. I loaned that book out of the library for free and have used it to lose a lot of money. Would love to see options strategies for such scenarios to use leverage to maximize losses.

Pretty important inaccuracy in this is that implied volatility is not actually how much the market expects prices to move. It's just one standard deviation. You will move less than that amount 65% of the time.

[@geeee8933]

Yeah this video definitely misunderstands that IV is a standard deviation, not a mean absolute deviation

[@davidsawyer3737]

This is low key actually a pretty good explanation. The only things I would add are. 1. You mentioned it but it needs to be made clear IV is the SD required for the option price observed to be consistent with the Black-scholes formula. 2. You didn’t really talk about how In order to bet on volatility alone you have to make your trade delta neutral.
