Don't Get confused !! Implied volatility has no relevance when you are Making Spreads, It's all about Number game. How much risk you are taking for getting this reward. That means it all depends upon the Risk & reward ratio. before making any spread option trader know , how much he can loose or how much he can gain !! That's It, Nothing else. but IV have only sense when you want to play Naked selling , then you get good premiums in DEEP OTM. otherwise in spread No relevance of IV.
you guys are brill! real interesting educational stuff :)
Great info for a beginner!
Too confusing and misleads the investor by using math. First, where is it written that the probability of a stock price move is captured in a symmetrical bell curve? There are many other distributions that may be more appropriate for the stock. Also, IV is much higher during earnings week. This is worse than TA.
