It also explains the various methods of getting exposure to volatility through listed markets.\n\nThe focus then moves on to demonstrate how traders take advantage of various scenarios using futures, options, or ETPs linked to the performance of VIX.\n\nFinally, a comprehensive review is presented of volatility events that shook the markets, including the 1987 crash, Great Financial Crisis, 2010 flash crash, and the 2020 pandemic. By understanding how VIX behaved leading up to these market shocks, and reacted afterwards, traders can better equip themselves ahead of future events.\n\nA wide variety of strategies that are implemented in both bearish and bullish equity markets are introduced and covered extensively throughout.\n\nThe VIX Trader’s Handbook is essential reading for all those who are intending to trade volatility―from those who wish to gain an understanding of how VIX and the related trading products behave, to those intending to hedge equity exposure or take advantage of the persistent overpricing of option volatility.\n\nYou won’t want to trade volatility without it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0857197118\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0857197118.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rhoads, Russell\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has minor corner edge dings and or scratches.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53874432770353,"sku":"GBV.0857197118.VG","price":33.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/0857197118-0.jpg?v=1776712679","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/the-vix-traders-handbook-the-history-patterns-and-strategies-every-volatility-trader-needs-to-know","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
