This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

This week's webinar is focused on observing how we can leverage implied volatility in the options markets to design and backtest a volatility trading strategy on a given equity underlying. To do so, we will leverage some of the technical analysis functionalities Bloomberg offers, including:

  • Visualize Implied Volatility surface and trends on {OVDV }
  • Creating our own volatility skew index via {CIXS }
  • Build our own study on a custom ticker via {STDY }
  • Create and back-test our volatility strategy on {BT }
  • Parameter optimization {BT }

The session will reveal important market insights and demonstrate how you can create similar ideas yourself.  The webinar tackles a key theme or asset class, using backtesting tools to provide analysis of the trends, anomalies and technical insights you need to keep an eye on this week.
