What Is Implied Volatility? - Part 1 | The Webinar

Implied volatility is one of the most important things we pay attention to when we're trading. We watch implied volatility to find trading opportunities and determine the best strategies to use in certain situations. In part 1 of our awesome two part series on IV, Ryan and Beef break down this complex topic so that it's easy to understand. They explain the basics of what implied volatility is, what it actually represents and what causes it to increase or decrease. Make sure to check out part 2 as well.

2. Hello! Guys, I love the webinar and also this channel, very enlightening, I am using here in the Brazilian market the stocks are different, but the structure is the same. We still don’t have much information here in this area, I applied some of the techniques learned here and I'm having good results.. Thanks.
