什么是 Volatility Trading
Volatility trading is the art and science of profiting from changes in market volatility using options, futures, and other derivatives. Rather than betting on direction (stock up or down), volatility traders profit from changes in how much prices move. Strategies range from simple (buying options when volatility is low) to complex (gamma scalping, volatility arbitrage across markets). Volatility trading powers billions in hedge fund returns. It's quantitative, technical, and psychologically demanding. Success requires mathematical rigor, discipline, and comfort with tail risk. The skill is highly specialized with elite compensation for successful practitioners.
