TRADING HIGH-VOLATILITY ENVIRONMENTS High-volatility environments are the ones we live for. That is when we size up aggressively & make all of our big money, right? That is the mindset of many traders & I think they're missing this key concept which leads to so many blowups.

Yes exactly traders are programmed by the social media that only High volatility leads to big gains. False, High volatility most of the time = Bad volatility and difficult for most entry model. Big volatility requires better fundamentals understanding and this is where they go wrong about it IMO

Thanks for clarifying. You seem to be claiming that the EV is often higher in high vol regimes. Maybe sometimes that's true but not sure it's true in general. That $2 to $5 reward increase is good, but surely the $0.50 risk increases to about $1 too right? Is EV really higher?

It is true that expected value is higher during high vol. by definition, larger amounts of price discovery are going on. That is why pretty much every trading desk on the planet tends to thrive in high vol envirosโ€ฆ so yes, it is

its one thing to be in a high vol sector and you grow your size with it as confidence and profit padding increase its another to jump into the high vol out of nowhere, and use same or bigger size expecting the opportunity to take you places (and get rekt)

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: When asked about how 3:15 PM cutoffs and closing auction price spreads are disrupting his algorithmic hedging and intraday risk management, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) confirming Closing Auction Session (CAS) is permanent, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities, says, "...If we go through with the CAS-related issues which are giving some kind of uneasiness for option traders... this time option traders, they are mainly affected. The reason is that between this time gap, the prices change a lot, and because of that, most of the time on the day of expiry, especially on the day of expiry, it actually impacts option traders, those who are like writers. Broadly, we are of the view that at present SEBI is holding a lot of meetings with brokers, traders, algo traders, and they are designing their framework... they are ready to make changes as per the difficulties which traders are facing... broadly, I am of the view that it may take some time, but in the next maybe 1-2 months, definitely something will come out concrete, and based on that, again, we can see normalisation in the market... till then, option traders, especially writers or those who are using algorithms, they are trying to stay away from the market because of which volatility has also come down sharply in the market. You can see the market is falling gradually, but at the same time, intraday volatility is very low. Even if we consider Volatility Index (VIX), India's VIX index, that is also close to 11 or maybe 11.5 sort of levels, which is the lowest... it means that option traders are not active in this market. That is why I am of the view that it will take some time to come to normalcy. But eventually, definitely, we will come out with something that will help traders, option traders, I mean to say, in terms of managing their risk. It's not that they can increase their volume and all because our government is primarily focusing on controlling this particular speculative activity... they are trying to control that, and maybe because of that, I think they will come out with something which is very balanced."
